Tacking, Overboarding & Dot & Dab

Dry lining is a quick and effective way to create smooth, straight walls and ceilings without the need for traditional wet plaster. It’s widely used across new build, renovation, and refurbishment projects.

We carry out dot and dab, fixing plasterboard directly to masonry walls using adhesive for a fast, tidy finish. This method is ideal for improving wall surfaces and can also help with insulation. Tacking involves fixing plasterboard to timber or metal frames and is commonly used for stud walls, ceilings, and new layouts.

Overboarding is a great solution where existing walls or ceilings need strengthening or levelling, covering old or damaged plaster before skimming.

We also offer advice on plasterboard specification, helping ensure the correct boards are used for each area — whether that’s standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated, or acoustic boards.

Dry lining provides a solid, reliable base for plastering and decorating, making it an essential part of any modern build or refurbishment.

Testimonials

“We first asked the team to plaster the inside of our home in 2024, including a section that’s around 300 years old. The quality of their work was outstanding, they treated the space with real care and respect, and the results were nothing short of transformative.

We were so impressed that we invited them back this year to complete the exterior. Once again, their craftsmanship, professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. They turned what could have been a very difficult job into something seamless, and we’re genuinely delighted with the finish both inside and out.

We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality plastering”
