Working in Birmingham

What drylining work do you do in Birmingham?

Across Birmingham (B1) it is mostly commercial offices, retail and leisure, hospital estates and student accommodation, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all delivered by one contractor. Birmingham is a major fit-out market, where packages are larger, programmes are tighter and sites are typically city centre buildings with restricted deliveries and limited storage. Every package is priced from the drawings and programme, free of charge.

Do you charge extra to work in Birmingham?

No. Birmingham is approximately 69 miles from Rotherham. Travel and accommodation are included within the package price rather than charged separately, and the site team is resident near the project for the duration of the works.

Have you worked in Birmingham before?

Yes. Birmingham's larger commercial, leisure and student accommodation schemes are well suited to our full package approach, where drylining scopes regularly extend to several thousand square metres. If your scheme is near Paradise scheme, send us the drawings and we will advise on the implications for the drylining package before pricing.

Does the type of building in Birmingham change how the package runs?

Yes. In Birmingham the key consideration is usually logistics. City centre sites typically have booked delivery slots, limited storage and restricted vertical access, so we sequence the package floor by floor and call off materials to suit, keeping the site clear and the programme on track.

Can you do the fire stopping in Birmingham as well as the drylining?

Yes. The passive fire work is carried out by RWS Contracts Ltd, the group's IFC certificated fire division, which shares the same office and management team. On schemes in Birmingham the rated walls, the ceilings and the fire stopping through them can be let as one package with one point of responsibility.

How quickly could you start a job in Birmingham?

Birmingham is approximately 69 miles from our Rotherham head office, so a site visit is normally arranged within one to two weeks. Start dates depend on current commitments, and we will always confirm a realistic date against your programme.
