Can dry lining cover uneven or damaged walls?

Yes. Independent metal stud framing can create a perfectly flat, even surface over the most uneven or damaged masonry. This is the standard approach for:

• Severely out-of-true Victorian brickwork (common in Maidstone central and Bearsted)
• Walls with old plaster that has blown or detached
• Walls where dot-and-dab adhesive would not bond reliably
• Walls requiring services cavity for new electrical or plumbing runs

Independent stud adds 50-100mm to the wall thickness but is the most reliable way to get a perfect finish. We can also use resilient bar or acoustic clips to decouple the new plasterboard from the existing structure for improved sound insulation — relevant for Maidstone town centre apartments, Maidstone riverside studios, and HMO conversions.
