About our Gateshead service
Gateshead is a large town on the south bank of the Tyne facing Newcastle, known for its quayside arts venues, the Angel of the North and the MetroCentre, with mainly residential suburbs. We offer drylining all over Gateshead, including Wrekenton and Deckham out to Sheriff Hill.
Drylining in Gateshead should be simple. Give us a few details about the job, and we will come back with a fixed price and the earliest date we can do it.
We regularly deal with Tyneside flats, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and council-built homes. Each one is a little different, so every quote is based on your details.
Integral garages in Gateshead often need a fire-rated wall or ceiling where the garage meets the house, especially during conversions.
With older brick terraces, coastal properties and plenty of commercial and industrial sites, buildings in Tyne and Wear vary widely, so the right drylining method is chosen wall by wall.

Gateshead drylining: common questions
What postcodes do you cover in Gateshead?
We cover all Gateshead postcodes, including NE8, NE9, NE10 and NE11. If you are just outside Gateshead, send your postcode anyway and we will confirm.
How much should I expect to pay for drylining in Gateshead?
It depends on the job. Prices in Gateshead depend on the size of the job and access, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.
How fast can you get to Gateshead?
Most Gateshead enquiries get a reply the same day, and the majority of bookings can be booked in within a week or two. Urgent work can often be fitted in sooner.
How do I get a quote in Gateshead?
Simply use the quote form with your postcode, a short description of the job and when you need it. If you have photos, they help us price accurately.
Do I need to skim plasterboard or can I just tape and joint it?
Either works. Tape and joint is quicker and cheaper and gives a decoration-ready surface when done well. A full skim gives a harder, more uniform finish and is often preferred in homes and where walls will be seen in raking light.
