      Dry Lining

      OUR PRODUCTS

      Dry Lining

      As part of our holistic timber frame solution, we offer dry lining to improve efficiency and costs for our clients. Our services include drylining, screeding, plastering, rendering and structural metal framing.

      Quick Installation

      Dry lining uses plasterboard to the wall or ceiling, making it a faster alternative to traditional wet plastering.

      Smooth Finish

      It creates a smooth, even surface that is ready for painting, wallpapering, or other decorative finishes.

      Cost-Effective

      Generally, dry lining is cost-effective due to reduced labour and drying time compared to traditional methods.

      Versatility

      Suitable for new builds and renovation projects, dry lining can be used on a variety of substrates, including brick, block, and timber frames.

        Trusses & Posi Joist

        OUR PRODUCTS

        Trusses & Posi Joists

        Our Kent-based factory produces over 10,000 trusses and 10,000 posi-joists per year. 

        Our trusses support an offsite modern method of construction designed to support and distribute the weight of a roof, whilst our posi-joists act as a structural component used in floor and roof construction.

        Span

        Posi-joists are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial floor systems due to their ability to span large distances and support heavy loads

        Ease

        Posi joist design offers flexibility in terms of accommodating mechanical and electrical services. Pipes, ducts, and wiring can be easily routed through the joists without the need for drilling or notching, preserving the structural integrity.

        Cost-effective

        The combination of material efficiency and reduced labour costs makes truss roofs a cost-effective solution for many building projects.

          Fascias and Soffits

          OUR PRODUCTS

          Fascias and Soffits

          We offer fascias and soffits, increasing efficiency and reducing time on site for our clients by installing them at the same time as the roof.

          Fascia is the horizontal board that runs along the edge of a roof – soffit is the surface that sits underneath the facia board, closing the gap between the wall and fascia.

          Protection

          Shields the ends of the roof rafters from weather elements, preventing rot and water damage.

          Aesthetic Appeal

          Provides a finished look to the roofline, contributing to the overall exterior appearance of the building.

          Ventilation

          Often perforated to allow airflow, helping to ventilate the attic and prevent condensation, which can lead to mould and structural damage.

            Insulation & Membrane

            OUR PRODUCTS

            Insultations & Membrane

            External insulation is important for any structure to provide thermal efficiency and for party walls to reduce sound transmission.

            We have various options depending on the client and architect’s requirements. We offer a factory fit option, as well as multiple details using a variety of products – whatever the site needs, we have a solution.

            Thermal efficiency

            An energy efficient solution can be found whilst maintaining room size.

            Building regulation compliance

            Improvements to Part L mean a lower external wall u-value is needed (timber frame approaches this in a fabric-first method).

            Ease on site

            Offering the insulation as part of the timber frame package provides a one-stop shop solution.
