About

A subcontractor run by the person who prices the job and checks the finish

Need a drylining subcontractor who delivers on time without constant chasing? That's exactly what we do: dry lining, acoustic, carpentry and ceiling packages for main contractors and fit-out companies across Manchester, the North West and beyond. Not a domestic builder — a subcontractor that takes a package off your plate and hands it back snag-free.

The owner

Peter prices it, Peter is on site, Peter signs it off

Most problems on a dry lining package come from the gap between the estimator, the site team and the person who answers the phone. Here there is no gap. Peter Podsiadło reads your drawings, writes the quote, puts the crew on site and checks the finish under a halogen lamp before anyone calls it done. 15+ years in commercial dry lining; a team that has been together for years; CIS gross status; public and employer's liability insurance; full-time H&S oversight and NVQ3 supervision.

What you get

Everything a PM needs from a dry lining sub. Nothing to chase.

01.

A full crew within a week

Tell us the start date. We put a complete team on site so your programme starts on time, not when a sub becomes available. [lead time to confirm]

02.

A quote in your language

One figure per package, written the way your QS reads it. No hidden extras appearing halfway through the job.

03.

Drawings checked before we price

Standard vs fire-rated, slab-to-slab, deflection heads, overspec. We flag it before the quote, not after the first valuation.

04.

Finish that passes the halogen

Tape & joint and skim to British Gypsum White Book standards. Checked under a halogen lamp before we call it done.

05.

Materials that turn up

4–5 suppliers on account, so a stock gap at one merchant doesn't stop your site.

06.

Gross CIS status

Paid gross, no deductions, nothing extra for your accounts team to administer.

How we work

From drawings to snag-free handover in five steps

01.

Drawings review

Partition types, fire ratings, acoustic targets, heights, deflection heads — questions go back to you now, not on site.

02.

Transparent quote

One price per package against your drawing numbers, assumptions listed, value-engineering options where the spec is heavier than needed.

03.

Crew on site

Agreed start date, full team from day one, materials called off to your programme.

04.

Build and check

Built to spec, checked daily by the owner, finish inspected under a halogen lamp.

05.

Handover

Clean floor, snag list closed, O&M information where the system needs it.

The difference

Less time managing subcontractors. More time delivering your project.

Most subcontractors

  • Send the quote late — or never.
  • Go quiet once they've got the order.
  • Send variation orders weeks after the work.
  • Leave the snags for the end of the job.
  • Build what's drawn, even when it's wrong.

PS Drylining

  • Quote delivered on the agreed date, written against your drawing numbers.
  • Regular progress updates from site — you hear from us before you have to ask.
  • Variations priced as they arise, so your valuation has no surprises.
  • Our own quality check before we call it done — snags closed as we go, not at handover.
  • Drawings reviewed before pricing — fire vs standard, deflection heads, overspec — flagged early.
