How much should I expect to pay for drylining in Chester?

It depends on the job. Prices in Chester come down to the scope of the work and access, so send your details for an exact fixed price. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.

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.

What to have ready for your Chester quote

  • Know what the walls are made of, such as brick, block, stone or existing stud, and mention any damp
  • 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
