Save Your Money

Sounds simple. But, it’s easy to start a job and realise that your contractor is suddenly giving you more hassle than help! To avoid encountering this scenario, we’ve listed some key things you can find out before entering into any contract. Save your money (and your sanity) by asking these three questions first.

3 Things To Find Out BEFORE You Appoint Your Partitions And Ceilings Contractor

1. Do They Have The Resources To Keep Your Project Running Smoothly?

Ask about their resources. How big is their team? What tools do they have or have access to? What set of skills do they have within the team? Can they commit to your project over others?

20 Years Experience

Get a feel for their level of expertise and reliability. At Taylor Hart Limited, we are proud of our 20 years building experience and are always happy to answer any questions about the quality of our partitions and ceilings installations.

Experts in Our Field

As experts in our field, with a comprehensive range of services covered (from partitions and dry linings, to mineral fibre ceilings, to glass reinforced Gypsum, plus much more) and access to a wide variety of trade skills, our customers benefit from being able to wrap up their bigger projects with only one contractor.

Competitive Pricing

Customers can bank on the quality of our work, our reliability and competitive pricing. We have management control systems in place so that we can ensure smooth processes and projects and our clients always know we’ll keep their project running smoothly.

2. What Training Do Their Contractors Have?

Ask about levels of competency and qualifications. What experience do their partitions and ceilings team have? How long have they been doing this? Any notable projects they have worked on? Any certification?

To delve a bit deeper, you could also find out about the company’s approach to training.

Leading Commercial Ceiling Installation Company

As one of the leading commercial ceiling installation companies in the Birmingham area, it is company policy that all of our contractors have certification and minimum levels of competency. All of our managers are qualified and we train all of our sub-contractors too.

Repeatedly Satisfied Customers

By treating our labour well and offering continued professional development, our workforce is a happy and well-equipped one. Which in turn results in repeatedly satisfied customers.

3. What Is Their Health & Safety Score?

A mark of a quality contractor, particularly on large commercial jobs, is their health & safety score. Don’t be afraid to ask. Competent partitions and ceilings contractors won’t be offended if you ask them to provide this information.

Top Five Construction Company

At Taylor Hart, our clients don’t have to worry about health & safety issues. All of our members of staff have adequate training. We are consistently ranked in the top five construction companies when we are scored for jobs and in March this year, we came top of Interserve’s Contractor’s Site Safety League Table.

It’s worth taking the time to research potential contractors to ensure the success of your project. You want someone who is going to deliver quality work, who is reliable, and can complete your project on time and in budget.

Structural Stud Installers- Does your project require versatility and speed

Our systems can be constructed on site, fixing into the primary structure, forming a secondary, lightweight structure.  They utilise a SFS fast track system which is manufactured from lightweight, cold roll formed galvanised steel sections.  As structural stud installers, we recognise that more often than not, the speed of construction is a crucial element of a project; with this in mind, we can ensure a fast supply of materials to the site for installation.  Our lightweight frames result in rapid construction, and subsequently a cost effective solution for clients on tight building schedules, saving on materials, construction time and labour.

Dependent upon floor to floor heights, deflection criteria and lateral wind pressures, the anchorage points, spacing and sizing are determined. Therefore, with direct access to the system manufacturer, we can provide our clients with enhanced design and calculation assistance to ensure precision throughout the scheme.  

Whatever your needs, our structural stud installers will discuss your project and specific requirements and advise you on the best application for you.

Taylor Hart would welcome the opportunity of carrying out your structural stud installation, so please call us on 01676 522422 to discuss your requirements.  We are happy to answer any queries that you may have with regard to structural stud products or any other product within our range.  Our team look forward to hearing from you and are confident that you will find the quality of product, service and attention to detail second to none.

Steel Framing Systems is a versatile fast track building system manufactured from lightweight, cold roll formed galvanised steel sections which are screwed together on site.

The nature of SFS means it is versatile for designers and can be erected quickly when compared to more traditional methods. The lightweight frame also offers versatility.

SFS is also has a high strength to weight ratio, which means it uses less material than traditional methods. In addition, the steel sections are completely recyclable, which is an increasingly important factor as the government tightens the regulations around the lifetime environmental impact of buildings.

The steel used is dimensionally stable and does not shrink, which gives the construction high dimensional accuracy and long-term reliability.

Taylor Hart’s expertise comes with the structural stud, which is located in head and base tracks spanning vertically within the main frame of the building and is used to hold the frame together. The size of the stud used, spacing and anchorage are all determined by floor-to-floor heights, deflection criteria and lateral wind pressures. The manufacturers of the SFS available provide Taylor Hart with invaluable assistance with design and calculation in order to develop a scheme.

Head of research at Deloitte Real Estate, Anthony Duggan, commented on the increased levels of construction: “Compared to the less than positive story last year, our regional research now illustrates a rise in development activity, matching the recent improvement in the UK economy. We have recorded construction increases in office space and student accommodation as demand for both continues to rise. Similarly city centre residential is beginning to appear back on the agenda with a number of schemes breaking ground.

British construction output growth sped up to 2.2 percent in July from June and there were signs of more expansion to come as new orders leapt in the second quarter.

Friday’s data will add to hopes that the economy is picking up speed in the third quarter and are likely to be welcomed by Chancellor George Osborne. His plans to boost housing have been criticised for not doing enough to spur new home-building.

Construction output rose 2.0 percent in year-on-year terms in July, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday.

In June, construction output fell 1.1 percent on the month and rose 2.2 percent in year-on-year terms.

Britain’s construction industry was hit hard by the financial crisis but has shown signs of a recovery in recent months, helped by a broader pickup in the economy and by government and Bank of England programmes to encourage mortgage lending and new home-building.

Birmingham Building Designers

Birmingham Building Designers: Speaking in Birmingham this morning, Mr Osborne told how infrastructure is “vital to a country like Britain”.
Mr Osborne was in Birmingham to promote the launch of the city’s enterprise zone.

Asked what role construction can play in economic recovery, and when the industry can expect to see more immediate projects coming to the fore, he told CN: “We need to compete in the global race, and there are businesses around the world that can choose either to base themselves here in Birmingham and the West Midlands or in Shanghai or Bangalore.

“These are the decisions big companies are making. I think economic infrastructure is really vital to a country like Britain and to a city like Birmingham.”

Mr Osborne said this is partly about the tax support the government provides to business, saying “we have now got one of the most competitive tax regimes in the entire world”.
