Case Studies

We're pleased to let you know that our latest works to develop a new admin facility at North Devon District Hospital (NDDH) are making excellent progress.

The new development - known as Yeo View - will provide new, modern, compliant workspaces and facilities for groups of staff currently based in Chichester and Munro Houses, which are soon to be demolished to make way for new staff residential accommodation.

The development is a major first step in the Our Future Hospital (OFH) programme, which promises to build a better hospital in North Devon by rebuilding the staff and patient facilities in most urgent need of upgrade.

The new workspaces at Yeo View, and later development of modern residential accommodation for staff, will ensure NDDH create a great place to work, boosting recruitment and retention. Yeo View and the new residences are the first of a series of phases to create the space needed for the new clinical buildings we plan to build later in the programme, which will transform patient care for local people.

Yeo View will provide 64 workstations, 3 meeting rooms, and comply with all modern building standards. The Yeo View building is due for completion in October 2024, and work continues at pace.

We're pleased to share just how much progress has been made over recent months in the below timelapse video, which captures the daily activity onsite. Please click on the link below to watch.

WMS's Cornwall Painting Division have recently delivered some fantastic work across some of the most exposed areas within the Duchy!

Scoped with carrying out external decorations to a variety of properties during a "typical" Cornish Summer Mark and his team have once again come up trumps!

I'm sure you'll agree that these images are fantastic, Mark even found the time to catch a couple of beauties of an evening after a hard day's graft!

More great results from a great team!

Nearing completion of an extensive bathroom installation programme covering 3 counties Jane and her team of Paul, Owen, Jack, Tony, Dylan, Joe and Dan have gone above and beyond on this one - which is becoming a bit of a habit with the team in WMS Somerset!

Managing a contract of such a scale whilst liaising with sub-contractors, the client and residents to ensure smooth delivery is no mean feat for Jane and her team who are quickly building up a reputation in Somerset as the go to contractor, quite frankly resident and client feedback has been exceptional.

Please see some notes of thanks and before and after images, they speak for themselves!

More great work from a great team, a credit to WMS!

Customer Feedback

"Hi Jane, I wasn’t too sure who to message but just wanted to say what a fantastic job Paul and Owen have done on my bathroom. It looks amazing and they kept me informed all the way through with what needs doing and we’re very polite and courteous in my house. Honestly can’t praise them both enough and they were very apologetic about the electrician issues but hopefully that will be sorted by Thursday now.

I just wanted the company know that they have two very good workmen and thought they should be recognised for the work they have done at my property.

Kind Regards

Pippa"

"Thank you WMS for replacing my bathroom, which is looking beautiful. Thank you to Jane who help me get what I needed, thank you to the to everyone who have been doing the electric and flooring and the biggest thank you to two wonderful guys Owen and Paul who are very polite and hard working. They went above and beyond to make sure all it’s done as I wanted. They work very well together and I would 100% recommend them to anyone. 

Thank you, Liz. "

WMS are rightly proud of their cleaning teams and with good reason when you see the results of this latest roof cleaning challenge in Cornwall!

Using the latest state of the art equipment and careful attention to detail the team can achieve the results shown in these images!

Fantastic work again and another happy client!

WMS Devon Painting Division once again proved we deliver by presenting our clients with a nice clean and freshly painted external decoration project, this time on this beautiful building in Torrington dating from 1832.

Faced with extensive masonry repairs and significant surface contamination our Painting Manager Martin Baker called in specification support from Dulux Trade, who recommended a combination of painting systems including Dulux Trade, Graphenstone breathable masonry finish and Sikkens woodstain.

Martin said “Its always nice when challenged by something a little out of the ordinary, this beautiful building deserved the love and care we put to it and I think you’ll agree the results are amazing!”

The client is thrilled and we are pleased the building is cloaked in a superb finish for the enjoyment of the community for many years to come!

Young WMS Property Maintenance Apprentice Max Greach doesn't mess about! Having only recently enrolled and started with us Max has blown us away with his eagerness to learn and "can do" attitude!

Surveying, laying block work, mixing concrete to infill pot blocks, applying scratch coats, laying on plaster first and second coats, trowelling up and mixing and applying render finishes Max is fast becoming a key part of the WMS team!

These pictures are a credit to him, mind you he looks a little tired at the end of the day, well done Max!
