What drylining work do you do in Leicester?

Across Leicester (LE1) it is mostly university and hospital estates, retail and distribution offices, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all covered by the same company.

Every package is priced off the drawings and the programme, free of charge.

No. Leicester is around 56 miles out, which is a normal run for us. Travel is priced into the package rather than added on top, and on a multi week scheme the team is on site for the duration.

If your scheme is near Waterside, send the drawings across and we will tell you what the building type usually means for the drylining package before anyone prices it.

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

Yes. University and student accommodation schemes in Leicester tend to let the partitions, the rated walls, the ceilings and the fire stopping as one package, which suits a group with both a drylining and a passive fire division.

Can you do the fire stopping in Leicester 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 Leicester 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 Leicester?

Leicester is about 56 miles from the Rotherham yard, so a site visit is normally arranged within a week or two. Starting the works depends on the current contracts, and we would rather give you a real date against your programme than an optimistic one.
