ATLANTIC CANADA
North America’s oldest in-
sulation contractor – Guild-
fords - began in 1906 as a
family owned business and
since that time has become
the premier insulation contrac-
tor in Atlantic Canada. Over
the years the company has
provided specialty contracting
services to a wide variety of commercial, industrial, in-
stitutional and marine-related projects throughout At-
lantic Canada and beyond. Now in the hands of a
partnership based in Atlantic Canada, the Guildfords
Group of Companies continues to operate on the princi-
ples of family and commitment to client, has diversified
to better serve the industry and is looking to expand its
operations to new markets.
The Guildfords Group is pleased to have provided a
range of specialty insulation, firestopping and fireproof-
ing services in the construction of National Defence’s
Transportation, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
(TEME) Facility now nearing completion in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. Guildfords (2005) Inc., working under contract to At-
lantica Mechanical, provided pipe insulation throughout
the facility as well as canvas jacketing for the HVAC duct-
work. PVC jacketing was also installed on the building’s
various piping systems. Sister company Guild Contract-
ing Specialties provided firestopping throughout the fa-
cility as well as spray-applied fireproofing under contract
to Project Manager Ellis-Don.
With offices in St. John’s, Sydney, Halifax, Port
Hawkesbury area, Moncton and Saint John, Guildfords
has a strong Atlantic presence. The company is also
doing work in other Canadian markets and will focus
more energy on bidding projects on a national and inter-
national basis.
Besides common ownership, a commonality to all of
the Guildfords Group’s member companies is quality and
a commitment to safety and customer service.
