Cardiff is the Welsh capital and largest city in Wales, a centre for government, media, sport and higher education, with a regenerated bay and dense Victorian terraced suburbs. Our team handles drylining in every part of Cardiff, including Cyncoed and Canton to Roath.

We deal with drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients in Cardiff every week. Jobs are done properly, at a clear price and finished on time.

The property mix in Cardiff is mainly Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, bay apartments and student lets, and each quote takes into account the building, parking and access and timing.

A lot of renovation work in Cardiff involves drylining old solid walls, either to get them straight or to add insulation.

In Cardiff we regularly build stud partitions to split large rooms, form en-suites and create new layouts in older houses.

How much does drylining cost in Cardiff?

How quickly can you start in Cardiff?

Most Cardiff enquiries get a reply the same day, and the majority of bookings can be scheduled within one to two weeks. Urgent work can often be fitted in sooner.

What do you need from me to quote in Cardiff?

Just use the quote form with your postcode, a few details of the job and when you need it. Photos help but are optional.

What is the difference between drylining and plastering?

Traditional plastering applies wet plaster directly to the wall, which takes time to dry and needs a skilled finish. Drylining fixes plasterboard to the wall or to a frame, then finishes the joints or skims the surface. Drylining is quicker, introduces much less moisture into the building, and can usually be decorated within a few days.
