Matthews & Roberts

Chester and Cheshire

Construction consultants
serving Chester

Matthews & Roberts supports contractors and developers across Chester and Cheshire West with temporary works, CDM, health and safety and commercial expertise, close at hand from our Liverpool base.

An area we serve from our Liverpool office, roughly 20 miles north.

Chester and the wider Cheshire West area carry a steady flow of residential, commercial and industrial work, along with sensitive projects around the historic core where logistics and heritage constraints matter. We bring the management and compliance roles that keep those projects moving safely.

Chester is an area we serve rather than a city where we hold an office, but it is close. Only around 20 miles from our Liverpool base, we reach Cheshire sites easily for audits, temporary works inspections and duty holder attendance.

Who we help

  • Contractors working in and around the historic city centre
  • Developers delivering housing and commercial schemes across Cheshire West
  • Industrial and logistics projects along the A55 and M53 corridors
  • Subcontractors needing commercial and quantity surveying support
