About our York service

Anyone living or working in York knows the area: York is a historic walled cathedral city with Roman, Viking and medieval heritage, a large tourism and university economy, and a rail hub on the East Coast Main Line. We cover all of it, from Osbaldwick to Heslington.

If you are looking for drylining in York, you are in the right place. We work with homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients throughout North Yorkshire, and every job is priced up front so there are no surprises.

The property mix in York is mainly Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern flats, so we price every job around the property, parking and access and when you need it done.

With older stone properties, Victorian terraces and a strong mix of commercial units, North Yorkshire has plenty of buildings where drylining is the quickest way to get straight, solid walls.

Plenty of older terraces in York have solid walls, and insulated drylining is one of the most practical ways to make them warmer inside.

Before you book: a quick York checklist

  • Allow drying time in your plans before decorators or flooring fitters arrive
  • Know what the walls are made of, such as brick, block, stone or existing stud, and mention any damp
  • Decide whether you want a tape and joint or a full skim finish
  • Mark where TVs, shelves, radiators, basins and kitchen units will go so fixings can be planned
  • Check whether the work needs building control, especially for loft conversions, flats, garages and external walls
