Precision Dry-Lining, also known as plasterboarding, is a modern, efficient method for creating smooth, level walls and ceilings. It involves fixing plasterboards to a framework or directly to existing walls using 'dot & dab' adhesive. For properties in Balsall Heath, it's an excellent choice because it's significantly quicker and often less disruptive than traditional wet plastering, allowing you to achieve a perfect finish ready for decoration much faster. It also offers improved thermal and acoustic insulation benefits, which is particularly advantageous for some of our older, charming Balsall Heath homes.

Absolutely. One of the significant advantages of dry-lining, particularly for older properties in Balsall Heath, is its ability to enhance thermal and acoustic insulation. By adding insulation materials behind the plasterboards, or by choosing specialist insulated boards, we can help reduce heat loss, lower your energy bills, and significantly decrease noise transmission, making your Balsall Heath home much more comfortable and quieter.

While any construction work involves some dust, we pride ourselves on maintaining a clean and organised workspace. We use dust sheets extensively and ensure thorough clean-up after the work is complete in your Birmingham home. As for preparation, we usually just ask that the area where we'll be working is cleared of furniture and personal items as much as possible. We'll handle the rest of the masking and protection to keep your property spotless.

'Dot & dab' dry-lining involves bonding plasterboards directly to existing masonry walls using a specialised adhesive, ideal for achieving a smooth finish on solid walls. 'Stud wall' dry-lining, conversely, involves building a timber or metal framework (stud wall) onto which plasterboards are then fixed. This method is perfect for creating new internal walls, concealing pipes, or improving insulation with a cavity. For your Balsall Heath project, we'll assess your existing structure and discuss your goals to recommend the most suitable and efficient method.

Yes, absolutely. This is one of the key benefits of dry-lining, especially for charming but sometimes challenging older properties in Balsall Heath. Our 'overboarding' technique allows us to fix new plasterboards directly over existing damaged or uneven plaster, quickly creating a perfectly smooth, level surface without the need for extensive hacking off and re-plastering. It’s an efficient way to rejuvenate tired walls and ceilings.
