Drylining, plastering & damproofing in Leigh

Interior finishing in Leigh — drylining, plasterboard, plaster finishes and damproofing done properly, finishing the structural work ready for decoration.

Leigh, Atherton and Tyldesley are old mill towns with long runs of terraces, where opening the two downstairs rooms into one and taking out chimney breasts are the bread-and-butter jobs, alongside rear openings on the newer estates.

Interior finishing matters. We carry out drylining and plasterboard work on structural alterations and new builds, plaster finishes, and damproofing where moisture is a concern.

What’s included

  • Drylining and plasterboard installation
  • Stud partition walls
  • Plaster finishes — skimmed and textured
  • Internal making good after structural work
  • Damproofing — rising damp treatments and chemical barriers
  • Tanking and waterproofing for basements and cellars
  • Moisture control and ventilation solutions
  • Fire protection plasterboarding where required

Leigh falls under Wigan Council building control, or a registered building control approver.

Drylining, plastering & damproofing in Leigh: your questions answered

Do you cover Leigh?

Yes — Leigh and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Leigh falls under Wigan Council building control, or a registered building control approver.

Do you carry out damproofing?

Yes. We diagnose the damp — rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation — and carry out the appropriate treatment, from chemical barriers to tanking in basements.

Can you install fire protection plasterboard?

Yes. Steel beams and other structural elements sometimes need fire protection; we install plasterboard systems to building control's requirements.

Do you leave walls ready for decoration after drylining?

Yes. Plasterboard is filled, taped and finished ready for paint or wallpaper.
