About our Leicester service

Leicester is large and diverse East Midlands city with two universities, a textiles and manufacturing heritage and a busy retail centre around Highcross. We know the area well: we handle drylining for homeowners, landlords, builders, developers and commercial fit-out clients throughout Leicester, from Knighton, Westcotes and Braunstone.

Drylining in Leicester does not need to be complicated. Send us a few details about what you need, and you will get a fixed price and our next available dates.

We regularly deal with Victorian terraces, inter-war semis, student lets and city flats. Every property brings its own access and timing considerations, so every quote is based on your details.

Landlords in Leicester often use insulated and acoustic drylining to make flats and HMOs warmer and quieter.

With Victorian terraces, inter-war semis, market towns and a strong base of industrial and logistics sites, Leicestershire has plenty of buildings where drylining is the quickest way to get straight, solid walls.

Which Leicester postcodes do you cover?

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.
