Drylining in Ely

Ely is a small cathedral city in the Fens on the River Great Ouse, with an agricultural hinterland and growing numbers of Cambridge commuters. This is our patch: we handle drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients throughout Ely, including Chettisham, Soham and Sutton.

Start to finish, we keep drylining in Ely simple: one point of contact, one fixed price and people who arrive when they say they will.

We regularly deal with Georgian and Victorian townhouses, period cottages and modern estates. Every property brings its own access and timing considerations, so we price from the details you send.

With market towns, period homes, post-war estates and fast-growing new developments, Cambridgeshire has plenty of buildings where drylining is the quickest way to get straight, solid walls.

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

Drylining in Ely: FAQs

How soon can you book a job in Ely?

Most Ely enquiries get a reply the same day, and the majority of bookings can be scheduled within a week or two. Urgent work can often be fitted in sooner.

What do you need from me to quote in Ely?

Simply fill in the form on this page with your Ely postcode, a few details of what you need and when you need it. Photos help but are optional.

Do you cover Chettisham and other parts of Ely?

Yes. We cover the whole of Ely, including Chettisham, Soham, Sutton, Littleport, Stuntney and Prickwillow, plus nearby Cambridge, Huntingdon, Bury St Edmunds and St Neots.

Do you cover my Ely postcode?

Every postcode in Ely is covered, including CB6 and CB7. If you are just outside Ely, send your postcode anyway and we will confirm.

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.

Checklist before booking in Ely

  • 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
