Drywall lets you reorganise a home without the mess or weight of traditional building work. With a metal frame and plasterboard we create new partitions, close or open spaces, drop ceilings to hide services, and dry-line cold or damp walls, gaining thermal and acoustic insulation in the process.
We build dividing partitions, continuous or accessible suspended ceilings, dry linings with mineral wool to insulate against noise and cold, alcoves and built-in shelving, and details for curtain pelmets or indirect lighting. We use moisture-resistant board in bathrooms and kitchens and technical board where more strength or insulation is required.
We leave surfaces plumb, with joints taped, filled and sanded, ready to paint or tile. We coordinate with electrics and plumbing so service runs sit inside the partition or ceiling before it is closed. It is a fast, clean solution, ideal when you live in the home or are renovating to let.

Everything we do
Every job we take on within this service, with the detail of how we carry it out. The price is always fixed after the survey.
Partitions and divisions
New dividing partition
- What we do
- Splitting a room to create a bedroom, dressing room or study.
- How we do it
- 46 or 70mm studs with acoustic tape under the track and double board each side, joints staggered. The tape under the track is what stops the partition transmitting noise through the slab.
Closing up openings and arches
- What we do
- Blocking off doorways, openings or arches you want gone.
- How we do it
- We reinforce the perimeter and tie into the existing brickwork before boarding, then tape the junction with mesh. Without that junction treated, the crack reappears within the first season.
Acoustic partition
- What we do
- Better sound insulation between rooms or from the neighbour.
- How we do it
- Twin isolated frames, mineral wool inside and double board with staggered joints. The point is that the two faces never touch: one shared stud wipes out the entire improvement.
Services inside the partition
- What we do
- Electrics, plumbing and air conditioning run within the wall.
- How we do it
- We coordinate with the electrician and plumber to run conduit before the second face closes, and photograph the route. That photo is what stops someone drilling into a pipe two years later.
Partitions in wet areas
- What we do
- Divisions in bathrooms, cloakrooms and utility rooms.
- How we do it
- Moisture-resistant or cement board depending on whether it will be tiled, studs at 400mm and the board held off the floor. It never sits on the screed, so it cannot wick up water from a leak.
Ceilings and lighting
Continuous suspended ceiling
- What we do
- A new flat ceiling, ready to paint, in a living room, hallway or bedrooms.
- How we do it
- We hang on strap hangers with primary and secondary channels at the spacing the manufacturer specifies, not improvised, so the ceiling cannot sag. A perimeter joint allows for slab movement.
Boxing in ductwork
- What we do
- Dropping a ceiling or forming a bulkhead to hide air ducts, pipes and stacks.
- How we do it
- We keep the drop to the minimum the duct allows so you do not lose head height, and leave access at the unit and the valves. A bulkhead with no access hatch gets smashed open at the first fault.
Accessible ceiling
- What we do
- A demountable ceiling where services need to be reached.
- How we do it
- Lift-out board or a flush hatch with a concealed frame: it reads as a continuous ceiling but opens when the indoor air-conditioning unit or a stopcock needs attention.
Indirect lighting and pelmets
- What we do
- Perimeter coves for indirect light and curtain boxes.
- How we do it
- We set the cove at the depth the LED strip needs — too close to the ceiling and you see the individual diodes — and bring the supply out to an access point. We set out the wash of light with you.
Downlights and recessed fittings
- What we do
- Cut-outs for downlights, speakers and grilles.
- How we do it
- We cut with a hole saw and leave slack cable at each opening. We mark the channels first so we never cut over one — the mistake that leaves a downlight with nowhere to go.
Dry linings and insulation
Dry-lining an external wall
- What we do
- Lining the inside face of the walls that face outdoors.
- How we do it
- A free-standing frame with 45–70mm mineral wool left uncompressed and a vapour barrier where required. This is the job that removes the cold-wall feel and cuts what the air conditioning costs to run.
Walls with condensation
- What we do
- Walls that go mouldy each winter through a cold bridge.
- How we do it
- We treat and confirm it is not a leak first, then dry-line leaving a cavity. Insulating internally without also sorting the room ventilation just moves the condensation somewhere else.
Acoustic lining of a party wall
- What we do
- Cutting the noise coming from the neighbour or the street.
- How we do it
- An isolated lining with wool and double board, sealing every service penetration and socket box: one untreated socket lets through more noise than several metres of wall.
Lining to light wells and landings
- What we do
- Cold or noisy walls onto an internal light well or the stairwell.
- How we do it
- We work from inside the property without touching any communal element, which avoids having to go through a residents association vote. You lose a few centimetres in exchange for the insulation.
Built-in units, reinforcement and finish
Niches and shelving
- What we do
- Shower niches, shelves and bookcases built into the partition itself.
- How we do it
- We reinforce internally with channel and timber and set the depth with the finish material already counted in, so the niche finishes plumb with the tile instead of half a centimetre shy.
Built-in wardrobe or headboard
- What we do
- A fitted wardrobe, headboard or TV unit formed in drywall.
- How we do it
- We bed timber into the load points before the board goes on. With that reinforcement the unit hangs as it would on a brick wall; on plasterboard plugs alone, it does not.
Reinforcement for TVs and sanitaryware
- What we do
- Fixing points designed in for hanging loads.
- How we do it
- Tell us where the TV, the wall-hung toilet or the radiator is going and we bed timber or channel into the frame. It can be sorted after boarding, but that means opening up and re-treating the board.
Joint treatment and sanding
- What we do
- Taping, filling and sanding until the surface is ready to paint.
- How we do it
- We tape with micro-perforated paper and put on three passes of compound, sanding in raking light. At movement corners we use a flexible bead rather than rigid tape — that is where it cracks otherwise.
Handover and coordination with painting
- What we do
- Surfaces handed over ready to paint, tile or clad.
- How we do it
- We vacuum the sanding dust and hand over primed if the painter follows straight on. We coordinate both trades so nobody has to go back over joints that are already closed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does drywall cost in Alicante?
It depends on the area, the type of board and insulation, and whether services must be integrated or lighting detailed. That is why we fix the price after the visit. Ask for a no-obligation quote and we itemise it (partitions, ceilings, dry linings) before starting.
Does drywall insulate against noise and cold?
Yes, and it is one of its advantages. With mineral wool inside the partition or dry lining, acoustic and thermal insulation improves greatly compared with a hollow wall. In Costa Blanca homes it is an effective way to treat cold walls or reduce noise between rooms.
Does drywall hold up in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes, using moisture-resistant board and, where it will be tiled, the right frame and board to carry the weight. In areas of direct splashing we combine it with correct sealing. We never use standard board in wet environments, precisely for durability.
Can you hang units or a TV on a drywall partition?
Yes, by building in reinforcements in the frame or using specific plasterboard fixings according to the weight. If you tell us where the TV, a unit or sanitaryware will go, we reinforce those points during installation so they hold without any problem.
Is the installation guaranteed?
Yes. The drywall we install carries a 2-year guarantee on labour covering frame, board and joint treatment, plus the manufacturer guarantee on the materials. You receive it in writing on completion.
