What drylining work do you do in Bradford?
Across Bradford (BD1) it is mostly city centre regeneration, education and conversions of older commercial stock, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all delivered by one contractor. A significant proportion of work in Bradford involves the conversion and refurbishment of older commercial buildings, where existing walls are rarely true and linings and ceilings must accommodate extensive existing services. Every package is priced from the drawings and programme, free of charge.
Do you charge extra to work in Bradford?
No. Bradford is approximately 30 miles from our head office, a routine distance for our site teams. Travel is included within the package price, and on longer schemes the team remains on site for the duration.
Have you worked in Bradford before?
Yes. Bradford's ongoing regeneration means much of our work there involves converting older commercial buildings to new uses. These projects demand accurate setting out against irregular existing structures and careful coordination of linings and ceilings around retained services. If your scheme is near Broadway, send us the drawings and we will advise on the implications for the drylining package before pricing.
Does the type of building in Bradford change how the package runs?
Yes. Many buildings in Bradford were originally built for a different purpose, so existing walls are seldom plumb and soffits often carry redundant services. We set out from an established datum rather than the existing walls, and design the linings and ceilings to conceal what must remain.
Can you do the fire stopping in Bradford 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 Bradford 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 Bradford?
Bradford is approximately 30 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.
