Drylining involves fixing plasterboard to internal walls using adhesive or a metal stud framework, creating a smooth surface that can be skim-plastered or directly decorated. It offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation benefits, making it ideal for older London properties that need upgrading to modern standards. Our dryliners work to precise tolerances, ensuring flat, plumb walls throughout your home.

Our Process

1

Consultation & Planning

We assess your property and discuss insulation requirements, recommending the best drylining system for your needs.

2

Framework Installation

Where required, we install metal stud or timber batten frameworks with insulation fitted between the studs.

3

Plasterboard Application

Plasterboard is securely fixed to the framework or bonded directly to walls using specialist adhesives.

4

Finishing

Joints are taped and filled, then the surface is skim-plastered for a perfectly smooth finish.

Common Questions

What is the difference between drylining and plastering?
Traditional plastering applies wet plaster directly to masonry walls, while drylining uses plasterboard fixed to the wall. Drylining is faster, provides insulation, and creates a perfectly flat surface.
Does drylining reduce room size?
Drylining typically adds 25-50mm to wall thickness, which is minimal in most rooms. The insulation and soundproofing benefits far outweigh the small reduction in room size.
Is drylining suitable for old houses?
Absolutely. Drylining is ideal for older London properties, providing modern insulation without altering the external character of the building.
