Dryliners for Surrey and the south-west M25 corridor
Surrey drylining demand comes from commercial refurbishment around Woking, Staines and Guildford, education and healthcare projects across the county, and high-specification private residential where drylining has to disappear behind a finish that will be inspected closely.
Education and healthcare work has a particular character: fixed holiday or decant windows, strict fire compartmentation, and often impact-resistant or hygienic board specifications that behave differently from standard plasterboard. Operatives who have not handled those boards before will be slower and will damage more of them.
On private residential, the drylining is judged by what the decorator finds. A skimmed or taped surface that is 3mm out will show under a light, so on those jobs we prioritise accuracy of setting out and quality of jointing over metres per day, and we will often recommend a separate taper rather than asking the boarding gang to finish.
Every dryliner is checked before they reach your gate
Vetting is done before we put someone forward, not after you have inducted them. The evidence sits in our compliance pack and we will send it for your PQQ.
CSCS card verified
Checked live against the register — Blue Skilled Worker as the baseline for a stud and board hand.
NVQ Level 2 Interior Systems
Qualification behind the card confirmed, with the specific pathway noted — stud and board, ceilings, or dry lining finishing.
Fire-rated build-up experience
Where your specification includes fire or acoustic build-ups we confirm the operative has installed to a tested system, because deviation from the system detail voids it.
Right to work
Originals or share code checked in person, with expiry tracking.
References on setting out and rework
We ask previous sites about accuracy of setting out and how much came back at inspection.
