Drylining across Guildford and Surrey

Guildford is Surrey's county town, an affluent historic market town on the River Wey with a cobbled high street, a large university and many London commuters. This is our patch: we provide drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients across Guildford, from Onslow Village, Park Barn and Bellfields.

We deal with drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients in Guildford every week. The work is done to a high standard, priced clearly and completed when agreed.

We regularly deal with Victorian and Edwardian houses, inter-war semis and student lets. Each one is a little different, which is why we price from the details you send.

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

With a mix of period cottages, 1930s semis, new-build estates and busy commuter-town commercial premises, buildings in Surrey vary widely, so the right drylining method is chosen wall by wall.

Is dot-and-dab or metal stud better?

Dot-and-dab is quicker and cheaper and suits sound, reasonably flat brick or block walls. Metal stud is better for building new partitions, for walls that are badly out of line, when you need to run services or add thick insulation behind the board, or where damp or contamination on the original wall means the board should not be bonded to it.
