Drylining, plastering & damproofing in Manchester

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

Our base is off Blackett Street in Ardwick, a mile from Piccadilly, so Manchester is home ground. The city's housing is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis in Levenshulme, Longsight, Rusholme, Gorton, Moston and Blackley, villas in Whalley Range and Victoria Park, and 1930s semis in Burnage and Northenden, nearly all with a load-bearing spine wall between the front and back rooms.

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

Building Regulations applications in Manchester go to Manchester City Council building control, or to a registered building control approver.

Drylining, plastering & damproofing in Manchester: your questions answered

Do you cover Manchester?

Yes — Manchester and the surrounding area are part of our regular patch. Building Regulations applications in Manchester go to Manchester City Council building control, or to 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?
