Frequently Asked Questions about Dry Lining
What is dry lining?
Dry lining is the process of attaching plasterboard to walls and ceilings without using wet plaster. It is faster, cleaner, and provides a smooth finish ready for decorating or painting.
How long does dry lining take?
A typical room takes 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Whole-house dry lining can take 1-2 weeks. We will give you a clear timeline during your quote.
Is dry lining cheaper than traditional plastering?
Dry lining is generally more cost-effective than wet plastering for large areas. It requires less drying time, less labour, and produces minimal mess.
Can dry lining include insulation?
Yes. We install insulation-backed plasterboard (such as Celotex or Kingspan-backed boards) to improve thermal performance and meet Part L building regulations.
Do you provide a guarantee?
Yes. All our dry lining work comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. We also use manufacturer-guaranteed materials from British Gypsum and Knauf.
Is dry lining suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, when moisture-resistant plasterboard (often called green board or aqua panel) is used. We also recommend tanking in high-moisture areas.
What is the difference between dot and dab and metal stud?
Dot and dab fixes plasterboard directly to solid masonry walls using adhesive dabs. Metal stud creates a standalone frame for partition walls where there is no existing wall to fix to.
What areas do you cover for dry lining?
We provide dry lining services across Peterborough, Stamford, March, Wisbech, Whittlesey, Huntingdon, and all surrounding Cambridgeshire villages and towns.
