Drylining in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, with a medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, a large finance, tourism, government and university economy, and the world's biggest arts festival each August. We know the area well: we provide drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients throughout Edinburgh, from Leith, Morningside and Stockbridge.
If you need drylining in Edinburgh, you are in the right place. We work with homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients throughout Lothian, and every job is given a fixed price first so you know exactly where you stand.
In Edinburgh we work on Tenement flats, Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and bungalows. Every property brings its own access and timing considerations, so every quote is based on your details.
Many Edinburgh homes still have cracked lath and plaster ceilings, which can be overboarded cleanly rather than pulled down.
Office and shop fit-outs in Edinburgh use metal stud partitions to create meeting rooms and new layouts quickly.

How much does drylining cost in Edinburgh?
Prices vary with the job. Your price come down to the size of the job and access, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Typical prices are in the facts box at the top of this page and in our cost guide.
Will drylining make my home warmer?
It can, if insulated plasterboard or insulation within a stud frame is used. This is a common way to improve cold solid walls in older homes. Care is needed with vapour control and around windows to avoid condensation, and in England upgrading a large area of an external wall can trigger thermal requirements under the Building Regulations.
