Drylining Gillingham provides drylining, partition walls, and suspended ceilings across Wigmore (ME8), the Victorian and Edwardian streets in the Wigmore area of Gillingham. Experienced with solid-wall terraces, soundproofing between converted flats, and traditional plasterwork restoration.
Wigmore is a residential area in east Gillingham, sitting just south of the A2/M2 junction with a mix of post-war estate housing off Wigmore Road and older streets closer to the Hertford Close area. The ME8 postcode covers the Wigmore estate and the lanes that connect it to Hempstead and the A2. At Drylining Gillingham, we carry out insulated plasterboard upgrades and partition work on the Wigmore estate houses weekly, and we handle a steady stream of garage conversions and HMO partition packages on the larger detached and semi-detached houses closer to Wigmore Road.
Many Wigmore properties were built as single-family Victorian terraces and have since been converted into flats, HMO rentals, or shared ownership. This creates specific drylining challenges: rooms that need acoustic separation between tenancies, thermal upgrades on otherwise uninsulated solid walls, and sympathetic finishes that respect the period character of the property. We are experienced in fitting acoustic plasterboard and mineral wool in converted terraces, installing insulated plasterboard on cold external walls, and coordinating works with the freeholders and management companies that typically oversee HMO conversions in the area. All of our drylining work is designed to meet Building Regulations Part E (sound) and Part L (conservation of fuel and power).

Building Regulations and Planning in Wigmore
Wigmore falls under Medway Council for building control and planning permissions. The borough contains over 80 listed buildings and 17 conservation areas, meaning any internal structural alterations, external drylining insulation, or changes to load-bearing walls may require listed building consent or planning permission. We work closely with clients, architects, and the council's building control surveyors to ensure every project — from a simple room partition to a large commercial fit-out — is fully compliant with current Building Regulations and any local planning constraints.
