Buildsmith Property Services offers professional drylining services for homeowners, developers, and landlords across Dorset and Hampshire. Whether you’re building a new home, converting a loft, or refurbishing a commercial unit, our team delivers clean, efficient, and structurally sound drylining to suit any space.
From plasterboard installation to jointing and surface preparation, we provide smooth, ready-to-decorate finishes that improve insulation, fire resistance, and interior aesthetics.
What is Drylining?
Drylining is the modern alternative to traditional wet plastering, used to line the internal walls and ceilings of a property using plasterboard. It is quicker to install, dries faster, and offers a smooth finish suitable for painting, wallpapering, or tiling.
It’s ideal for:
-
New builds and property extensions
-
Loft conversions and garage conversions
-
Commercial fit-outs and office refurbishments
-
Replacing old or damaged wall coverings
-
Insulating interior spaces or soundproofing rooms
With Buildsmith, you’ll receive high-quality materials, professional fitting, and a final result that’s ready for the next stage of your project.
