Frequently Asked Questions about Drylining
What is drylining?
Drylining is the process of fixing plasterboard to interior walls and ceilings without using wet plaster. It is faster, cleaner, and provides a smooth finish ready for decorating or painting.
How long does drylining take?
A typical room takes 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Whole-property drylining can take 1-2 weeks. We will give you a clear timeline during your quote.
Is drylining cheaper than traditional plastering?
Drylining is generally more cost-effective than wet plastering for large areas. It requires less drying time, less labour, and produces minimal mess.
Can drylining include insulation?
Yes. We install insulation-backed plasterboard to improve thermal performance and meet Part L building regulations.
Do you provide a guarantee?
Yes. All our drylining work comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. We also use manufacturer-guaranteed materials from British Gypsum and Knauf.

Yes, when moisture-resistant plasterboard is used. We also recommend appropriate tanking in high-moisture areas.
