Gillingham Drylining FAQ
How do I choose a dry lining contractor in Gillingham?
Key checks when choosing a drylining contractor in Gillingham:
1. CSCS accreditation — every operative should hold a current CSCS card relevant to their trade (operative, skilled, or gold) 2. Public liability insurance — minimum £1 million, ideally £2-5 million 3. Employer liability insurance — £10 million is standard (legally required if they employ staff) 4. Written itemised quote — labour, materials, plant, and waste removal broken out separately 5. Evidence of similar Gillingham projects — ask for references from jobs in your part of the borough (Victorian terrace, post-war estate, new-build apartment, commercial fit-out) 6. Programme and overrun terms — written, with clear delays clauses 7. Building Control handling — do they manage the Gillingham City Council notification and sign-off? 8. Guarantees — minimum 12 months on workmanship, longer for fire-rated installations
Always get three quotes and check reviews. Avoid contractors who quote by the day without a written scope, demand large cash deposits, or pressure you to commit on the spot.
