What we install in Stoke-on-Trent

Much of the work in Stoke-on-Trent is conversion and refurbishment of older commercial stock, where the existing walls are rarely straight and the linings and ceilings have to hide a century of services. In practice most of what we are asked for in Stoke-on-Trent is retail parks, with the rest of the package available alongside it.

Working in Stoke-on-Trent

What drylining work do you do in Stoke-on-Trent?

Across Stoke-on-Trent (ST1) it is mostly retail parks, distribution offices, healthcare and city centre regeneration, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all covered by the same company. Much of the work in Stoke-on-Trent is conversion and refurbishment of older commercial stock, where the existing walls are rarely straight and the linings and ceilings have to hide a century of services. Every package is priced off the drawings and the programme, free of charge.

Do you charge extra to work in Stoke-on-Trent?

No. Stoke-on-Trent is around 45 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.

Have you worked in Stoke-on-Trent before?

Stoke-on-Trent is an hour and a half across the A50, and the retail parks, the hospital estate and the distribution offices around the A500 corridor are where the packages there come from. If your scheme is near Potteries Centre, 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 Stoke-on-Trent change how the package runs?

Yes. In Stoke-on-Trent a lot of the buildings were something else first, so the existing walls are rarely plumb and the soffits are full of old services. We set out from a datum rather than from the walls, and the linings and ceilings are framed to hide what is there.

Can you do the fire stopping in Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent?

Stoke-on-Trent is about 45 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.
