Drylining in Hackney

Hackney is a densely populated inner east London borough known for its creative scene, markets and parks, with Victorian streets, warehouse conversions and large housing estates. Our team handles drylining in every part of Hackney, from London Fields and Hackney Central through to Stamford Hill.

We deal with drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients in Hackney every week. The work is done to a high standard, at a clear price and finished on time.

In Hackney we work on Victorian terraces, warehouse conversions and council-built flats. Every property is a little different, which is why we price from the details you send.

In Greater London, a lot of extension work is finished with dot-and-dab so trades can move on without waiting for wet plaster to dry.

Landlords converting houses into flats in Hackney need separating walls and ceilings built to meet sound and fire rules.

Just use the quote form with your Hackney postcode, a short description of what you need and any timing needs. If you have photos, they help us price accurately.

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.

Before you book: a quick Hackney checklist

  • 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
