Local drylining in Torquay

Torquay is the main resort town of the English Riviera in Torbay, built on hills around a sheltered harbour, with a tourism-led economy and many hotels converted to flats. That is where we come in: we handle drylining on behalf of homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients throughout Torquay, including Hele, Watcombe and Cockington.

We carry out drylining all over Torquay and the surrounding Devon area. Big job or small, you get one clear price before any work is booked.

In Torquay we work on Victorian villas, converted flats and hillside bungalows. Each one brings its own access and timing considerations, which is why every quote is based on your details.

With coastal weather, older stone and render buildings and plenty of rural properties, buildings in Devon vary widely, so the right drylining method is chosen wall by wall.

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

Can drylining be used on damp walls?

Not without fixing the cause first. Bonding plasterboard to a damp wall can trap moisture, leading to mould and failed adhesive. The source of the damp should be found and treated, and in some cases a framed system with a ventilated gap or a membrane is used.
