FIRE!

WMS were shocked when recently tasked with fully refurbishing a fire damaged void property for a valued local Housing Association client.

WMS Contracts Manager Paul Harris said “the before images show the severity of the fire and the damage it caused in a very short period of time. Fortunately there were no casualties.  WMS have a specialist cleaning team who were mobilised on instruction and were quickly able to get the property in some form of shape before we started work. It was then over to my multi skilled voids team to pull out the stops over 4 weeks and fully refurbish the property with electrics, carpentry, plumbing, plastering and decoration completed as quickly as possible. We are fully aware that empty voids cost our clients money and once again completed the refurbishment ahead of programme, we are really proud of the results!" (see after images).

WMS have specialist voids refurbishment teams across all 4 of their offices in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, feel free to contact us if you require our support! #voidrefurbishment #trustedcontractor

Building for the future

WMS Bricklaying Apprentice Brody Cross has certainly “built” up a reputation for producing quality work!

Only joining us this year the video shows an example of one of his first pieces of work produced at Exeter College.

Brody is one of the latest influx of apprentices and complements over a dozen others WMS employ across our workstreams, we see them as the future of the business!

Rest assured if they keep producing results like this then we are in safe hands! Well done Brody!

Note: WMS are still recruiting apprentices across various trade disciplines, please check out the “Join Us” section of our website or our WMS Facebook page for further details!

Many many thanks to our friends at Trewin Design Architects, Pearce Construction, Classic Builders, Gates Consultants, and Frame Homes UK for such a fantastic afternoon.

A great evening meal hosting clients and suppliers was then finished off in style by our friends at Taylor Lewis at their legendary after party! (Thank you Jules????????).

Our thanks to Kirsty and Ryan at Buildrec for looking after us!

The WMS team are pictured here, the calm before the storm, what a team, what a day!
