About our Canterbury service

Canterbury is a historic cathedral city in east Kent and World Heritage Site, with medieval walls, large universities and a strong tourism economy, plus many student lets. Our team handles drylining in every part of Canterbury, including Wincheap and Thanington to Sturry.

We handle drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients in Canterbury regularly. The work is done to a high standard, at a clear price and finished on time.

Local buildings are largely Medieval and Georgian houses, Victorian terraces and student lets, and we price every job around the property, access and timing.

Integral garages in Canterbury often need a fire-rated wall or ceiling where the garage meets the house, especially during conversions.

With commuter towns, business parks and a lot of older housing that has been extended over the years, buildings in Kent vary widely, so the right drylining method is chosen wall by wall.

What postcodes do you cover in Canterbury?

Every postcode in Canterbury is covered, including CT1, CT2, CT3 and CT4. If you are on the edge of Canterbury, let us know your postcode and we will check.

Can drylining be used on damp walls?

Not without fixing the cause first. Bonding plasterboard to a damp wall can trap moisture, leading to mould and failed adhesive. The source of the damp should be found and treated, and in some cases a framed system with a ventilated gap or a membrane is used.

Before you book: a quick Canterbury checklist

  • Decide whether you want a tape and joint or a full skim finish
  • Mark where TVs, shelves, radiators, basins and kitchen units will go so fixings can be planned
  • Check whether the work needs building control, especially for loft conversions, flats, garages and external walls
  • Have older textured ceilings or coatings tested for asbestos before they are drilled or removed
  • Arrange your electrician and plumber for sockets, lights and radiators before and after boarding
