Working in York

What drylining work do you do in York?

Across York (YO1) it is mostly listed building refurbishments, retail, university and hospital estates, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all covered by the same company. York has a large share of listed and historic buildings, where lining and finishing means framing off walls that lean and floors that fall without touching the fabric more than the conservation officer allows. Every package is priced off the drawings and the programme, free of charge.

Do you charge extra to work in York?

No. York is around 38 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 York before?

York is heritage stock and a university estate side by side, and lining a listed building means framing off walls that lean and floors that fall without touching the fabric more than the conservation officer allows. If your scheme is near York Central, 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 York change how the package runs?

Yes. Listed and historic buildings in York need independent linings and ceilings that touch the fabric as little as possible, and sometimes a conversation with the conservation officer before the frame goes up. We have done enough of it to know which systems suit an old building.

Can you do the fire stopping in York 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 York 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 York?

York is about 38 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.
