Why Choose Professional Dry Lining?
Dry lining (also known as drywall or plasterboard installation) has become the go-to method for internal walls and ceilings across London. Instead of traditional wet plaster, we fix high-performance plasterboard to metal or timber frameworks, then tape, joint and finish it to a smooth, paint-ready surface.
It’s faster, cleaner, lighter and far more cost-effective than old-school plastering – which is why so many main contractors, developers and architects now specify dry lining on their projects.
Key benefits include:
- Speed – projects finish weeks faster with minimal drying time.
- Cost savings – lower labour costs and less disruption.
- Better insulation & acoustics – easy to add thermal and soundproofing materials.
- Fire resistance – we use boards rated for 30, 60 or 90 minutes where required.
- Clean finish – perfect straight walls and ceilings ready for decoration.
Dryline specialises in providing high-quality drylining services across London. We are a trusted and well-established company with extensive experience delivering both large-scale projects and smaller, more detailed works.

Frequently Asked Questions – Suspended Ceilings
Dry lining (also called drywall or plasterboard installation) is a modern method of creating internal walls and ceilings using plasterboard fixed to a metal or timber frame, then taped and jointed to a smooth finish. It’s much faster, cleaner and more cost-effective than traditional wet plastering. That’s why developers, main contractors and architects across London choose dry lining for offices, retail units, hotels, schools and industrial buildings.
Most dry lining projects are significantly quicker than traditional plastering. A typical office floor (around 5,000–8,000 sq ft) can often be lined, taped and jointed within 7–14 days, depending on complexity. Because there’s almost no drying time, follow-on trades (electricians, decorators, fit-out teams) can start much sooner, which helps keep the whole project on schedule.
Traditional plastering uses wet materials that need weeks to dry and can crack over time. Dry lining uses pre-made plasterboard sheets – it’s lighter, stronger, easier to repair, and allows us to easily build in insulation, fire protection or acoustic performance. For commercial and retail projects in London, dry lining is now the industry standard because it saves both time and money without compromising on quality.
Yes – all our dry lining work comes with a minimum 12-month workmanship guarantee, and many projects carry longer guarantees. We only use British Gypsum (Saint-Gobain) and other reputable UK-approved boards. We can supply and install 30, 60 or 90-minute fire-rated systems as well as high-performance acoustic solutions to meet Building Regulations and project specifications.
