About Us
Oswald Property Services is a specialist building contracting organisation delivering a broad range of property repairs on commercial projects, often smaller in size and nature.
Since its formation in 2002, NCS Ltd had undertaken all property repair projects alongside its other projects in other operating sectors.
It became obviously apparent that our work in the property repair sector needed to have its own identity and so in 2023, Oswald Property Services was formed.
We wanted to provide our clients with a dedicated service with a team that could focus on delivering projects without the distraction of other projects with competing priorities and demands on resources.
Relying on our extensive experience gained since NCS Ltd was formed in 2002 on a whole range of projects across multiple commercial sectors, in Oswald Property Services, we now have a dedicated focus on delivering projects in the property repair sector that requires outstanding performance, service and quality.
Over the years we have developed a strong capability to deliver property repairs and smaller projects that include alteration and upgrades, structural repairs, envelope repairs, void and dilapidation repairs and works of a smaller nature.
We recognise that these projects can often be neglected due to their size and scope, however, we work hard to ensure that all our client’s projects receive the same level of outstanding attention, care, professionalism and commitment.
Further Development
At the beginning of 2025, to reflect our customers’ requirements, we refined the business further, effectively creating two divisions: Oswald Projects and Oswald Windows and Door Installations, which includes timber, aluminium, uPVC window and door replacements as well as fire rated door installations, for which we hold BM Trada accreditation.
