About our Dorchester service
Dorchester is Dorset's historic county town with Roman and Thomas Hardy connections, an administrative and healthcare centre with the planned Poundbury extension on its western side. That is where we come in: we provide drylining on behalf of homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients across Dorchester, from Stinsford, Martinstown and Broadmayne.
We deal with drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients in Dorchester every week. Jobs are done properly, priced clearly and finished on time.
Typical properties here include Georgian and Victorian townhouses, cottages and Poundbury new-builds, and we price every job around the property, parking and access and when you need it done.
Plenty of older terraces in Dorchester have solid walls, and insulated drylining is one of the most practical ways to make them warmer inside.
Noisy party walls are a common complaint in Dorchester, and an independent acoustic lining is often the most effective fix.

Simply fill in the form on this page with your postcode, a few details of the job and when you need it. Photos help but are optional.
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.
What to have ready for your Dorchester quote
- 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
- Have older textured ceilings or coatings tested for asbestos before they are drilled or removed
