over 40 years in the industry
Seager Home Solutions continues to specialise in RSL works but has never lost sight of its roots with the private client, and to this day our thriving private client division continues specialising in bespoke heating, bathroom, kitchen and disabled adaptation installations.
1978
Alan Seager founded Seager Heating as a Heating Installation and Maintenance company operating within the local community in Hadleigh, Suffolk as a one man band, initially for private clients local to the area. During the formative years the company was established based on a working ethos of complete customer satisfaction which remains the case to this day.
Whilst continuing to work primarily for local clients and home owners around the Hadleigh, Suffolk area, the company had grown to a stage where there was enough work to employ an apprentice and an additional fully qualified heating engineer to help with the increased work load. It was at this time that the company branched out from working just for private clients and a decision was taken to try and secure work with the local council and smaller local developers. Seagers quickly established a good relationship with a local registered social landlord (RSL) to help with their small works responsive maintenance teams.

1987
Having now established the company as a reputable Heating and Plumbing supplier to both RSL’s and local builders, whilst continuing the development of private client work, an opportunity came along to carry out a quick turnaround contract for the local social landlords. Although only a small job it was a vast achievement and enabled us to win similar contracts with other local social landlords in the immediate area.
At this time the company had become a reputable installer of high volume RSL contracts in the Hadleigh and Ipswich area. A decision was made to develop social housing side of the business, and to procure larger contracts previously beyond reach was taken resulting in successful bids on many larger contracts. A period of strong growth in the following years meant that more staff were recruited, with more engineers and administrators coming on board and Alan becoming Managing Director, assuming a more operational and strategic role
1989
1994
In the Mid ‘90s the company moved into rented premises at Pound Lane in Hadleigh from where steady growth continued, and a new general manager was employed, along with a contract manager and two admin staff. In addition to the company successfully winning multiple high volume contracts, the next few years were to see the company venture further afield.
Following continued growth of the business bigger premises were required. Units on the Lady Lane Industrial Estate in Hadleigh were bought as a result of new contracts being secured across Suffolk and Essex. The increased space was used for logistical purposes and the need for increased storage and parking facilities as the fleet grew. These units were the company’s first freehold premises and enabled a commitment to invest in long overdue improvements to such things as the office layout, communications and IT.

Four years on and the business was continuing to grow and evolve as its client base grew in number and in geographical area. The business appointed a new director and a new contracts manager, plus additional admin staff as it won a major contract for heating improvements for a social housing client in Norfolk. This period saw the company become established as a major player in Social Housing maintenance contracts in East Anglia, and in some cases as far afield as Northamptonshire and Birmingham, all whilst continuing with the existing local client base.
Time for another office move! This time into a brand new bespoke building specifically designed for purpose and comprising some 3000 Sq Mtrs of office space, a similar storage area, an additional showroom and training facilities in order to support the growing workforce and for training the apprentice engineers being recruited. This period of progression saw the company evolve into what it is today, a fully established and experienced facilities services company specialising in refurbishment works for Registered Social Landlords.

2017
10 years later we decided to move premises to a bespoke unit in Needham Market. This was a strategic decision as the unit sat in the middle of the geographical locations that we serve with good transit links to the A14 and A12. We are also close to our local suppliers and have a wealth of private clients on our doorstep.
