Working in Newcastle

What drylining work do you do in Newcastle?

Across Newcastle (NE1) it is mostly student accommodation, hospital estates, offices and city centre leisure, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all delivered by one contractor. Newcastle 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 Newcastle?

No. Newcastle is approximately 107 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 Newcastle before?

Yes. Newcastle marks the northern extent of our regular operating area. We deliver full packages on student accommodation, healthcare and commercial schemes in the city, with site teams resident for the duration of the works. If your scheme is near Helix, send us the drawings and we will advise on the implications for the drylining package before pricing.

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

Yes. In Newcastle 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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle?

Newcastle is approximately 107 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.
