About our Durham service

Durham is a small historic cathedral city on a loop of the River Wear, dominated by its World Heritage cathedral and castle and by a large collegiate university and student population. We carry out drylining in every part of Durham, from Belmont and Neville's Cross out to Elvet.

If you need drylining in Durham, we can help. We work with homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients throughout County Durham, and every job is priced up front so there are no surprises.

Typical properties here include Georgian and Victorian terraces, former colliery cottages, semis and student lets, and we price every job around the building, parking and access and timing.

Plenty of older terraces in Durham 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 Durham, and an independent acoustic lining is often the most effective fix.

What postcodes do you cover in Durham?

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.
