Frequently Asked Questions

What is dry lining and how does it work? +
Dry lining is a method of finishing internal walls and ceilings with plasterboard rather than applying several layers of wet plaster. The boards can be fixed directly to brick or blockwork with drywall adhesive, often called the dot and dab method, or screwed to a timber or metal frame. Once the plasterboard is secure, the joints and screw heads are covered with tape and jointing compound. The surface can then be sanded, painted, wallpapered or finished with a thin plaster skim. Dry lining is commonly used in new builds, extensions, renovations and commercial properties. It provides a smooth finish quickly and can also create space for insulation, soundproofing materials, electrical cables and pipework.
Do I need planning permission for drylining in Willen? +
Internal drylining usually falls under permitted development rights and doesn't require planning permission. However, if your property is listed or within a Conservation Area in the local authority area, you'll need listed building consent for any internal alterations. We advise checking with Milton Keynes City Council's planning department before starting work on period properties.
What are UK Building Regulations for drylining? +
UK Building Regulations Part H covers heat and energy efficiency, Part C covers structural adequacy, and Part B covers fire safety. All our drylining work in Willen complies with current Building Regulations. For fire-rated walls, we follow the Fire Standard and provide full documentation. We also ensure thermal insulation meets the latest Part H requirements.
How long does drylining take in Willen? +
A typical single-room drylining job takes 2–3 days for framing and board installation, plus 1–2 days for taping, jointing, and sanding. Larger projects can take 1–4 weeks depending on scale. We work efficiently to minimise disruption, especially on residential projects in Willen.
