Professional dry lining for commercial & retail fit-out

Dry lining turns raw shell space into rooms that are ready for paint, wallpaper, or cladding. Done well, it is fast, dimensionally stable, and easy to upgrade with thermal or acoustic performance. Done poorly, it telegraphs joints, cracks at corners, and holds up every trade behind you.

Our dry lining teams work on offices, retail units, healthcare extensions, and industrial conversions across the North East, Yorkshire and the wider North. We select board types and fixings to match your substrate survey — not a one-size-fits-all specification copied from the last job.

Scope of work

• Direct bond (dot-and-dab) to masonry
• Metal stud linings with insulation voids
• Shaftwall and encasement to structural steel
• Tape-and-joint to Level 4 or Level 5
• Plaster skims where specified for premium finishes

Integrated fit-out advantage

Because we also install suspended ceilings and partitions, wall heads, abutments, and fire stopping are coordinated by one supervisor. That means fewer clashes at ceiling perimeters and a single snagging list at handover. Ask about combined packages in Leeds, York or your nearest coverage town.

Board types we install

• Standard plasterboard to walls and ceilings
• Moisture-resistant boards to WCs and plant rooms
• Fire-rated boards to corridors and protected shafts
• Acoustic boards to meeting rooms and cinemas
• Thermal laminate boards to external walls on conversions
