No job is too big or too complex. We help create clean, modern, functional spaces that look great and perform even better.
Why Choose Professional Dry Lining?
Drylining, also known as drywall or plasterboard installation, is widely used for internal walls and ceilings across London. Instead of traditional wet plastering, plasterboard is fixed to metal or timber frameworks before being taped, jointed, and finished to create a smooth, paint-ready surface.
Drylining is faster, cleaner, and lighter than traditional wet plastering, with minimal drying time. This can help reduce labour requirements, shorten project programmes, and minimise disruption – making it a practical solution for commercial projects.
Key benefits include:
- Speed – projects finish weeks faster with minimal drying time.
- Cost savings – efficient installation can help reduce labour costs and disruption.
- Better insulation & acoustics – insulation and acoustic materials can be incorporated into the system to improve thermal and acoustic performance.
- Fire resistance – fire-rated boards and systems are available to achieve 30, 60, or 90-minute fire performance where required.
- Clean finish – smooth, 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 projects.

Frequently Asked Questions – Suspended Ceilings
Drylining, also known as 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 create a smooth finish.
It is typically faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than traditional wet plastering, with minimal drying time. This makes drylining a practical choice for commercial projects such as offices, retail units, hotels, schools, and industrial buildings across London.
Most drylining projects are significantly quicker than traditional plastering. A typical office floor of around 5,000–8,000 sq ft can often be lined, taped, and jointed within 7–14 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Traditional plastering uses wet materials that require drying time before the surface can be decorated. Drylining uses pre-made plasterboard sheets fixed to a framework, making the installation process faster, cleaner, and more efficient.
Drylining can also make it easier to incorporate insulation, fire protection, and acoustic performance into the wall or ceiling system. For commercial and retail projects in London, it can save valuable time and help control project costs while still delivering a high-quality finish.
Yes - all our drylining work comes with a minimum 12-month workmanship guarantee, and many projects carry longer guarantees. We use high-quality boards and materials from reputable manufacturers, selected to suit the requirements of each project.
