Community building and leisure contractor
Est. 1991.
The buildings communities love most deserve to be looked after properly. That is exactly what we do.
Sinden has spent 30+ years delivering community building and leisure projects across London and the South East — sports and leisure facility refurbishment, community hub construction, libraries, museums and civic buildings for local authority clients.
These are well-loved, well-used environments, and the people who depend on them are always our first consideration.
Every project we deliver in this sector leaves something lasting behind — in the building itself, and in the community it serves.
£1.9m social value generated across our portfolio in 2025
Trusted on prestigious community and cultural projects, including St Albans Cathedral Welcome Centre and Brook Theatre

Experience across every community building type
Sports facility construction, leisure centre refurbishment, theatre restoration, library and community hall projects — our experience spans the full breadth of civic and leisure building types.
Occupied buildings kept open and running
Community buildings serve their communities every day. We plan every project around the needs of the people using the space, maintaining access and keeping the community informed throughout.
Measurable social value on every project
We actively engage with local communities throughout the build process, creating a genuine sense of involvement and leaving measurable social value on every project we deliver.
