Galaxy Insulation and Dry Lining - West Yorkshire

Galaxy Insulation and Dry Lining was established in 2009 and began with two warehouses in Sheffield and Leeds. The company completed a management buyout in September 2018, its first acquisition with Hush Acoustic Products in October 2021, and became an employee-owned business on 1 September 2022 through the Galaxy Employee Trust. It operates across 14 UK locations, having opened its Glasgow branch in January 2023. The West Yorkshire branch is a supplier of insulation materials and products, stocking brands including Rockwool, Weber, Hush Acoustics, Rockfon, Kingspan, Ravago, Knauf drywall, Cms, Ancon, Superglass, Mulcol and Tenmat.

Its delivery service covers postcodes LS, WF, BD, YO, HG, HD, HX, DL, S, HU, OL, BL, BB and M.

The company's drivers are FORS recognised and its vehicles are fitted with Moffetts for unloading goods. It partners with leading insulation and dry lining manufacturers including Kingspan, Rockwool, Knauf, Ravago, EcoTherm and Hush Acoustics. Galaxy Insulation and Dry Lining was named one of the 100 fastest-growing founder-led companies in the UK and won an award for being one of the 50 fastest growing companies across Yorkshire. Its legal entity is Galaxy Insulation Ltd.

Insulation materials and building supplies form the core of what Galaxy Insulation and Dry Lining offers from its Leeds base, drawing both trade customers and members of the public who need dry lining products. Several accounts note how helpful the staff are, with particular warmth reserved for the woman at the counter, described as pleasant and welcoming.

Several customers note the quick turnaround and the ease of collecting orders, including delivery drivers who pass through and find the team friendly and efficient. A point made in several accounts is the speed with which the forklift drivers and the team at the back door load vehicles, helping customers get on their way without waiting. The range held in stock is described as good, and customers appreciate finding exactly the items they need. Communication is praised as clear, with orders and queries handled without fuss.

One account mentions an unexpected cup of soup offered during a visit, a small gesture that reflects the accommodating atmosphere running through the feedback. Staff knowledge and a willingness to help are noted across the reviews, from the counter service to the yard team, and the consistency of that approach explains why trade and retail customers alike return for their dry lining and insulation needs.
