A family-run group
It’s not only what you know—it’s who you know.
Laymac Group brings groundworks, building, roofing and tree surgery together through a trusted network of contractors we’ve worked with over many years, backed by the Butcher family’s long-standing knowledge of the trades.
About the Group
Not a faceless contractor. A family who knows the trade, and knows the people in it.
Built on a family background in roofing, building and groundworks.
Laymac Group is led by Robert Butcher, whose family has long been part of the roofing, building and groundworks trades. Growing up around the work means knowing what a good job looks like, and recognising the people who do it properly.
Over the years, we have worked alongside many skilled contractors across these trades. Those working relationships are the strength of Laymac Group: we know who to call, understand what each job needs and can bring the right experienced contractors together for your project.
