Drylining across Truro and Cornwall

Truro is Cornwall's only city and its administrative and retail centre, a compact Georgian town on a tidal river with the county hospital and council offices. We know the area well: we handle drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients across Truro, including Threemilestone, Malpas and Shortlanesend.

We carry out drylining throughout Truro and the wider Cornwall area. Big job or small, you get one clear price before anything is booked in.

Local buildings are largely Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern estate homes, and we price every job around the building, access and timing.

In Cornwall, a lot of extension work is finished with dot-and-dab so trades can move on without waiting for wet plaster to dry.

Landlords converting houses into flats in Truro need separating walls and ceilings built to meet sound and fire rules.

Does a new partition wall need building regulations approval?

A simple non-structural partition in an existing house often does not, but it can if it affects fire escape routes, ventilation or natural light, or forms part of a loft conversion, extension or conversion to flats. Sound insulation rules apply to new homes and conversions. If in doubt, check with your local building control before work starts.
