Construction Services

Lignacite Ltd was founded in 1947.The early years were based on producing a single product called Lignacite, a revolutionary mix of cement, sand and recycled wood shavings. These blocks were made by hand and packed individually in straw. They were delivered locally and were predominantly used in the construction of agricultural buildings.We now operate from two highly mechanised, modern plants at Brandon in Suffolk and Nazeing in Essex. From a single product, we now offer over 14 ranges of different masonry. Our blocks have been used in projects such as The Gherkin, The Shard, The Olympic Stadium, Canary Wharf and both Heathrow and Stansted airports. We also supply many of the major house builders who recognise the value and importance of using sustainable and recycled materials.Much has changed over the years; however our core values and principles have endured. We remain dedicated to supplying added value, bespoke concrete and masonry which is designed, sourced and manufactured in the UK.From the early days of using local wood shavings, to today, every Lignacite product contains a high degree of recycled and waste material. We have recently produced the first Carbon negative block of its type in the industry. That is to say it locks up more C02 than is released in its manufacture and distribution; providing carbon capture on a significant scale.We are committed to continuing an extensive R&D programme ensuring we stay at the cutting edge of the construction industry.Our aim is to provide innovative and beautiful products that have a minimal impact on the environment.We relish the opportunity to work with you to create beautiful, bespoke products for the buildings of the future.
