What we install in Sheffield

In practice most of what we are asked for in Sheffield is retail fit outs, with the rest of the package available alongside it.

Working in Sheffield

What drylining work do you do in Sheffield?

Across Sheffield (S1) it is mostly retail fit outs, student accommodation, offices and university buildings, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all covered by the same company. Sheffield is a large fit out market, where the packages are bigger, the programmes are tighter and the site is usually a city centre building with restricted deliveries and no room to store board. Every package is priced off the drawings and the programme, free of charge.

Do you charge extra to work in Sheffield?

No. Sheffield is roughly 6 miles from the Rotherham yard, well inside the weekly patch, so travel sits inside the package price and a site visit is quick to arrange.

Have you worked in Sheffield before?

Sheffield is where a large share of the retail and office work comes from, and a full drylining package on a tight retail programme in the city is exactly the kind of job the reviews on this site describe. If your scheme is near Heart of the City, 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 Sheffield change how the package runs?

Yes, and in Sheffield it is mostly about logistics. City centre sites have booked delivery slots, no storage and a lift or a stair for the board, so the package is sequenced floor by floor with the material called off to match, rather than delivered in one drop that blocks the site.

Can you do the fire stopping in Sheffield 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 Sheffield 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 Sheffield?

Sheffield is about 6 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.
