Drylining across Southampton and Hampshire

Southampton is a major port city on the south coast, home to the cruise terminals, two universities and a large student population alongside established suburbs. We offer drylining right across Southampton, including Ocean Village and Lordshill to Swaythling.

Drylining in Southampton does not need to be complicated. Send us a few details about what you need, and we will come back with a fixed price and the earliest date we can do it.

The property mix in Southampton is mainly Victorian terraces, student HMOs, inter-war semis and waterfront flats, and each quote takes into account the property, parking and access and timing.

Landlords in Southampton often use insulated and acoustic drylining to make flats and HMOs warmer and quieter.

With commuter towns, business parks and a lot of older housing that has been extended over the years, Hampshire has plenty of buildings where drylining is the quickest way to get straight, solid walls.

It depends on the job. Your price depend on the scope of the work and access and timing, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.

Do I need to skim plasterboard or can I just tape and joint it?

Either works. Tape and joint is quicker and cheaper and gives a decoration-ready surface when done well. A full skim gives a harder, more uniform finish and is often preferred in homes and where walls will be seen in raking light.
