Dry-lining, also known as plasterboarding, involves fixing plasterboard panels directly to your walls, ceilings, or stud work. It’s a popular choice for properties across Longbridge and Birmingham because it's significantly quicker and often cleaner than traditional wet plastering. It provides a smooth, ready-to-decorate surface very efficiently, making it ideal for renovations, extensions, or new builds where speed and a perfect finish are paramount.

Absolutely. 'Dot and dab' is one of our core dry-lining methods and is particularly well-suited for solid masonry walls, common in many Longbridge homes. It involves applying dabs of adhesive to the plasterboard sheets and pressing them directly onto the wall, creating a stable, flat surface ready for skimming or decoration. It's a quick and effective way to achieve a high-quality finish without the need for extensive stud work.

Yes, we certainly can. Whether you're looking to divide a large room, create an en-suite, or build new partitions in your Birmingham property, our team expertly constructs new timber or metal stud walls and then meticulously dry-lines them. This method quickly transforms spaces, providing robust, sound-insulated partitions that are ready for plastering or painting, ensuring your new layout is functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Overboarding is an excellent solution for exactly that purpose, especially in charming older properties around Longbridge. It involves fixing new plasterboard sheets directly over existing, uneven, or damaged wall and ceiling surfaces. This bypasses the need for messy removal of old plaster, providing a fresh, perfectly smooth foundation quickly and efficiently, giving your tired rooms a complete facelift.

Yes, dry-lining can significantly contribute to both. When dry-lining stud walls, we can incorporate insulation materials within the cavity, greatly improving your property's thermal efficiency and reducing energy bills, a real benefit for any Longbridge homeowner. Similarly, using specific types of plasterboard (e.g., acoustic plasterboard) and insulation can effectively dampen sound transmission between rooms, creating quieter, more comfortable living spaces.
