What does drylining cost in Falmouth?

Every job is different. Your price depend on the scope of the work and access and timing, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.

Is dot-and-dab or metal stud better?

Dot-and-dab is quicker and cheaper and suits sound, reasonably flat brick or block walls. Metal stud is better for building new partitions, for walls that are badly out of line, when you need to run services or add thick insulation behind the board, or where damp or contamination on the original wall means the board should not be bonded to it.

What to have ready for your Falmouth quote

  • Have older textured ceilings or coatings tested for asbestos before they are drilled or removed
  • Arrange your electrician and plumber for sockets, lights and radiators before and after boarding
  • Ask each contractor to state the method, board types and finish so quotes can be compared
  • Confirm the price includes beads, sealant, protection and clearing waste
  • Clear the rooms and agree where boards can be stored and how they will be brought in
