Our Dry Lining & Boarding Services
We provide a full range of dry lining and plasterboarding services, including:

Dry lining for walls
Dry lining creates a suitable surface for internal walls using plasterboard. The right fixing method depends on the existing background, whether it is masonry or framing, and the finish required for your project.

Ceiling boarding
Ceiling boarding provides a base for the next stage of an interior project. The appropriate approach depends on the existing ceiling, its condition and the required finish. Any underlying leak or damage should be addressed before repairs begin.

Dot and dab boarding
Dot and dab is one method of fixing plasterboard to suitable masonry backgrounds. The condition of the wall and the requirements of the project should be checked before choosing the installation method.

Stud Wall Boarding
Plasterboard can be fixed to suitable metal or timber framing to form internal walls and partitions. The frame layout, openings, services and intended use of the space should be considered before the boards are installed and finished.

Tape and Jointing for Smooth Finishes
Tape and jointing finishes plasterboard joints using suitable jointing materials and tape. The method and preparation depend on the boarding system and the surface finish required before decorating.

Insulated Plasterboard Options
Insulated plasterboard may suit some projects, but the right solution depends on the existing wall, building conditions and installation details. Thermal performance and moisture behaviour should be considered before selecting a system.
Every project is tailored to your property’s needs, with careful attention to detail.
