Our story

Express began as Express Drylining, supplying skilled partition, ceiling and SFS teams to contractors in London and the South East. As clients asked us to take on more of the wall, we added SFS, cladding, render, flashings and fire stopping, and Express Drylining became Express Group.

Today we design, manufacture and install the building envelope and the interior, so main contractors deal with one company for the work and the materials. Our sister companies, Express Facades and Express Acoustics, manufacture aluminium rainscreen systems and acoustic panels.

What we stand for

  • Quality of workmanship

    Sharp lines and clean junctions where different wall, ceiling and cladding systems meet.

  • Working closely with clients

    Understanding each main contractor's goals and programme and delivering to them.

  • Safety

    Work planned and supervised by SMSTS-trained supervisors under our ISO 45001-certified system.

  • New methods and materials

    Investing in our own manufacture, such as the SFS made in our Rainham factory.

The core of our workforce has worked with Express for many years and understands what we expect on site. Every operative holds CSCS, FIRAS, IPAF and PASMA accreditation, we have invested in NVQ qualifications for our workforce, and our works are managed by SMSTS and SSSTS-trained supervisors.
