About Us

About us

The Family Run Concrete Specialists

We are a family owned company with over 50 years experience in Reinforced Concrete.


Some of our early projects included Eastbourne District General Hospital in 1969-70.


By the end of that decade the industry changed, requiring the company to supply materials as well and in 1977 Ray's brother Gary came out of the army.


By the beginning of the 1980's Gary & Ray were successful in securing a 2 year contract to build the substructure to the new terminal at Gatwick Airport.


Gaand Ray made the decision to specialise in water retaining structures including water and sewage treatment works.


Throughout the 1980's and 1990's Gary & Ray successfully completed over 20 reservoirs and numerous water and sewage treatment works including Eastbourne Soverign Harbour and Marina.


In the Millennium, and in the family tradition, Ray's son in law Sam Gower and son Luke Askew joined the company. This helped with the changing industry.


Gary & Ray have been successful in constructing many Reinforced Concrete Frames, and adding Groundworks to their list of services. Including becoming one of the first to start building Environmental Waste composting plants.


As the industry evolves, Ask Southern Contractors Ltd look forward to offering our services to assist clients in the Construction Industry.
