In an industry where speed and scale often steal the spotlight, the developers who lead the market know that trust is what truly underpins successful partnerships. At Ormston Drylining, we’ve spent the last 19 years earning that trust through a steadfast commitment to high standards, transparent communication, and consistently outstanding results. Our reputation is built not merely on what we deliver, but on how reliably and professionally we deliver it.
More Than Just a Subcontractor
We recognise drylining as more than a trade; it’s a crucial stage in creating safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing homes. Our teams arrive onsite equipped with more than tools and materials – they come with a structured ethos focused on excellence and efficiency. This approach is defined by four pillars:
Compliance without compromise: We understand the complexities of regulations and ensure adherence to the highest compliance standards.
Consistent, professional finishes: Every surface, joint, and fixture is treated with meticulous care, ensuring exceptional outcomes that stand the test of time.
Clear, proactive communication: We believe open, transparent communication is fundamental. Our clients are never left guessing; we proactively manage every project stage.
Safe, reliable working practices: We prioritise safety without exception, safeguarding the wellbeing of our workforce and all on site personnel.
These principles have solidified our role as the preferred partner for some of the UK’s most respected names in housebuilding, such as Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon Homes, and Story Homes. Developers trust us because they know that, from the initial tender through to the final handover, we consistently deliver on our commitments — on time, within budget, and to exact specifications.
Health & Safety Accreditations That Matter
Compliance is a cornerstone of construction projects. As a subcontractor, part of our responsibility is to alleviate compliance pressures for our main contractors. Ormston Drylining proudly holds CHAS and SMAS Work safe accreditations – industry benchmarks that demonstrate our strict adherence to best practices in health and safety management.
These certifications offer peace of mind, ensuring our clients can effortlessly meet NHBC requirements and internal audit standards. By partnering with us, developers reduce compliance related risks and enhance safety standards across their sites, protecting workers and projects alike.
Consistency on Every Plot
Our commitment to quality doesn’t fluctuate based on project size or scope. Whether we’re handling custom one off homes or significant estate developments such as:
- Woodside Gardens (267 homes, Ryton)
- Riverbrooke Gardens (96 homes, Alnwick)
…the quality and care we put into our work remain unwavering. Each room, wall, and joint receives the same level of meticulous attention, guided by our stringent internal quality assurance protocols. On-site supervisors rigorously oversee every phase—from boarding and dot & dab installation to taping and jointing, minimising defects, enhancing site efficiency, and boosting overall satisfaction at handover.
Meeting Today’s Developer Demands
Today’s residential developers expect more from their subcontractors. The market now prioritises:
