How to hire a drywall installation & repair pro in Cyprus
- Ask whether the tradesperson does gypsum board work specifically — many Cypriot homes are solid masonry, and wet plastering is the more common trade
- Get a written quote; verbal lump sums are common but hard to enforce
- Ask for VAT invoice and confirm the rate applied
- Check for damp causes before repair — winter condensation damage is common in uninsulated Cypriot homes
- Confirm debris disposal is included
- Ask for references or photos of previous finished work
No specific licence is required for drywall or plastering repairs in Cyprus; larger renovations may need a permit via the local municipality and works in apartment blocks need management committee consent. ETEK (the Cyprus technical chamber) registration applies to engineers, not tradesmen.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a drywall repair take?
Even a small patch takes 2-3 visits or one long day, because joint compound needs drying time between coats. A typical patch is fill day one, sand and second coat day two, final sand and ready for paint day three. Quick-set compounds can compress this to one day for small jobs.
Does drywall repair include painting?
Usually not. Most drywall contractors leave the wall sanded and primed (or just sanded), ready for your painter. Ask explicitly — some will prime and paint the patch for an extra fee, but colour-matching an aged painted wall often means repainting the whole wall.
What causes drywall cracks and should I worry?
Hairline cracks at joints and above door frames are usually seasonal movement and are cosmetic. Wide (over 3 mm), diagonal, or recurring cracks, or cracks paired with sticking doors, can indicate settlement — get a builder or structural engineer to look before patching.
What is the difference between drywall repair and plastering?
Drywall (plasterboard) repair replaces or patches board sheets and finishes the joints with tape and compound. Traditional plastering applies wet plaster coats over masonry or lath. Older homes often have solid plaster walls that need a plasterer, not a drywall contractor.
Should water-damaged drywall be repaired or replaced?
If board has swollen, sagged, or grown mould it must be cut out and replaced — drying alone is not enough. Fix the leak first, cut back at least 30 cm beyond visible damage, and let the cavity dry before new board goes in. Persistent damp needs a moisture-meter check.
Are Cypriot walls usually drywall?
Mostly no — traditional construction is brick/block with cement or gypsum plaster. Drywall appears in newer builds, loft conversions and office partitions. Check what you have before booking: solid-wall damage needs a plasterer.
