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 delivered by one contractor. York has a high proportion of listed and historic buildings, where lining and finishing works must accommodate uneven walls and floors while minimising intervention in the historic fabric. Every package is priced from the drawings and programme, free of charge.
Do you charge extra to work in York?
No. York is approximately 38 miles from our head office, a routine distance for our site teams. Travel is included within the package price, and on longer schemes the team remains on site for the duration.
Have you worked in York before?
Yes. York combines historic and listed buildings with a substantial university and hospital estate. Work within heritage buildings requires independent lining and ceiling systems that respect the existing fabric and meet the requirements of the conservation officer. If your scheme is near York Central, send us the drawings and we will advise on the implications for the drylining package before pricing.
Does the type of building in York change how the package runs?
Yes. Listed and historic buildings in York call for independent lining and ceiling systems with minimal fixings into the original fabric, often agreed with the conservation officer before works begin. We select systems with a proven record in heritage settings.
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.
