London is a Southwestern London university city built on three kinds of house — older character homes in Old North and Old South, student and rental places around Western and Fanshawe, and new family builds out in Masonville and Byron — and IntraBuild does the drywall installation London homeowners, landlords and builders rely on for all three. From lath-and-plaster tear-outs in Wortley Village to whole-home board on a fresh subdivision lot, we hang the board, tape the seams and sand every surface smooth, priced honestly by the square foot. That's drywall installation London London can book on one written price, with no separate travel fee.
IntraBuild covers London drywall installation right across the city — older character homes in Old North, Old South and Wortley Village where the lath-and-plaster has finally given out, student and rental properties near Western University and Fanshawe College, and new family subdivisions rising in the north and northwest. Our crew hangs the board (drywall is also called sheetrock or wallboard), tapes and coats the seams, and sands to the finish level your walls need. London sits well out into Southwestern London, but the distance doesn't change the number — one written price, no separate travel fee. If you've searched "drywall installation near me" from a London address, this is your crew. For the full picture of how we work, see our drywall installation services page — this page covers what's specific to London: re-boarding failed plaster in character homes, quick turnarounds on rentals near the campuses, and boarding new builds in Masonville, Hyde Park and Byron.
Sheets set plumb and tight across walls and ceilings, joints staggered, and cut cleanly around outlets, windows and light boxes.
Mesh or paper tape over every seam, with corner bead on each outside corner — metal or paper-faced bead so the edges stay crisp and crack-free.
Fasteners driven just below the surface in a staggered pattern — about 28–32 per sheet — then spotted so nothing telegraphs through the paint.
Three coats of compound at minimum, feathered wide, then sanded and dust-controlled to Level 3, 4 or 5.
Old North, Old South and Wortley Village are full of character houses still carrying their original lath-and-plaster — and once it starts to crack and pull away from the lath, patching only buys so much time. We tear out the failed plaster and re-board with drywall, matching heights and reveals to the walls we're keeping so the new work disappears into the old.
Around Western University and Fanshawe College there's a steady rhythm of student houses and income properties that have to turn over fast. We hang durable Level 3–4 finishes that stand up to tenants, and plan the hang-tape-sand days around quick turnarounds between leases so a unit isn't sitting empty any longer than it has to.
New builds are going up across Masonville, Hyde Park, Byron and Sunningdale — clean, square framing and whole-home board and finish. Every floor hung, taped and sanded, sequenced with your framer, electrician and painter so drywall never holds up the trade behind it.
London sits a good distance out into Southwestern London, but the quote doesn't punish you for it. You get one written price tied to your square footage — no separate travel fee added on after, even for a job out in London. The same crew measures, hangs and finishes it.
The cost of drywall installation London homeowners and landlords pay comes down to area, so we quote by the square foot rather than a flat guess — board supplied and finished. As a rough guide, the jobs we price around the city run about $2.00–$5.50 per square foot turnkey. An Old South plaster tear-out and re-board — detail work, careful matching to existing walls, tighter cuts and a smoother finish — runs nearer the top of that range; a new-build main floor in Masonville, big square rooms and clean framing, sits toward the lower-middle. Pick a finish level below; a fuller cost breakdown sits further down, and the full method behind these numbers lives on our drywall installation services page. As a drywall installation company London can reach without a surcharge, our price is the same whether you're downtown or out in Byron — no separate travel fee.
| A single room (12×12-ish) | $1,500–2,500 |
|---|---|
| One- or two-car garage (Level 3) | $1,500–3,000 |
| A full basement | $6,000–12,000+ |
| A whole floor / new build | scales up |
The turnkey rate is the whole job — board delivered and hung, taped, beaded, screws spotted, three coats, sanded to your level, daily cleanup. Prefer to buy your own board? A labour-only rate starts around $1.50/sq ft. Per sheet, figure $30–70 to hang and finish a 4×8. These drywall installation prices are guide ranges — a free written quote sets the exact drywall install cost before any board goes up.
A full price tied to your square footage — no separate travel fee tacked on after, even out in London.
Poly barriers and vacuum-assisted sanding keep drywall dust out of the rest of the home.
Hang, tape, coat and sand days planned up front and coordinated with your other trades — the same whether it's a character-home reno or a brand-new build on a fresh lot.
Liability coverage before we start, and a sound, level surface your painter can walk straight onto.
Each stage has to be right before the next begins — and the mud coats need drying time between them, which is why good drywall can't be rushed. Ceilings go first: a drywall ceiling installation is boarded before the walls, so the wall sheets tuck up under it and support its edges. On residential walls the sheets usually run horizontally, though hanging drywall vertically suits some taller commercial walls — either way the aim is fewer, cleaner joints to finish.
Yes — it's a big part of our London work. Character homes in Old North, Old South and Wortley Village often still have their original lath-and-plaster, and once it's cracking or pulling away from the lath, re-boarding usually beats chasing patches. We tear out the failed plaster, deal with anything behind it, and hang drywall to match the height and reveals of the walls we're keeping.
Yes, and it's steady work near Western and Fanshawe. For student houses and income units we hang durable Level 3–4 finishes that hold up to tenants, and we plan the hang-tape-sand days around quick turnarounds between leases — so the unit is back in service fast and isn't sitting empty over a changeover.
We do — new builds and additions right across Masonville, Hyde Park, Byron and Sunningdale. Clean, square framing gets whole-home board and finish, hung, taped and sanded, and sequenced with your framer, electrician and painter so drywall never becomes the hold-up.
Turnkey, figure about $2.00–2.75 per square foot for Level 3, $2.75–4.00 for a standard Level 4 and $4.00–5.50 for a Level 5 skim. A tidy new-build floor in Masonville is efficient per foot; an Old South plaster tear-out and re-board, with matching and a smoother finish, sits higher.
