Working in London

What drylining work do you do in London?

Across London (EC1) it is mostly office and retail fit outs, leisure venues and student accommodation, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all delivered by one contractor. London is the largest fit-out market in the country. We mobilise with a resident site team, coordinate deliveries to the building's booked slots and sequence materials floor by floor. Every package is priced from the drawings and programme, free of charge.

Do you charge extra to work in London?

No. London is approximately 142 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 London before?

Yes. London is home to the largest fit-out packages in the country, and we mobilise to the capital for suitable programmes, delivering office, retail, leisure and student accommodation projects with a resident site team. If your scheme is near City, send us the drawings and we will advise on the implications for the drylining package before pricing.

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

Yes. In London 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 London 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 London 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 London?

London is approximately 142 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.
