Plasterboard, Ceiling & Prep Services

The quality of a finished decoration depends entirely on what's underneath. Whether you need new plasterboard hung, a ceiling repaired after a leak, or surfaces properly prepared for plastering and decorating — we do the groundwork that makes the finish last.

Plasterboard Installation

Dot-and-dab and timber/metal frame plasterboarding for walls and ceilings. New partitions, stud walls and insulated dry-lining installed correctly.

Ceiling Repairs

Sagging, cracked, water-damaged and structurally compromised ceilings repaired or replaced. Jointing, taping and ready for skim or direct decoration.

Dry Lining & Insulated Boards

Insulated plasterboard (PIR laminate) for cold external walls. Thermal upgrade combined with a surface ready to plaster or decorate directly.

Taped & Jointed Plasterboard

Jointing compound, scrim tape and feathering for a smooth seamless finish between boards. Ready for paint or skim as required.

Surface Preparation

Filling, sanding, sealing and priming surfaces before plastering or decorating. Old wallpaper removed, loose paint stabilised, all defects addressed before work begins.

New Build & Extension Finishing

First-fix and second-fix preparation for new builds, extensions and loft conversions. Coordinated with your build programme and ready to hand over.

The Foundation for a Great Finish

Shortcuts in preparation always show up later — in cracking, in movement, in uneven paint. We don't cut corners on the groundwork. Every surface is assessed, every substrate is treated correctly, and every board or repair is done to a standard you won't have to revisit.

  • Free on-site assessment — substrate condition checked before quoting
  • Correct board type and fixing method for each application
  • Joints and fixings properly prepared before plastering or jointing
  • No skipped primers or shortcuts on sealers
  • Work coordinated with plasterers and decorators as needed
  • Clean site — offcuts and debris cleared after each day
