Frequently Asked Questions about Plasterboard Installation
What is plasterboard installation?
Plasterboard installation is the process of measuring, cutting, and fixing plasterboard sheets to walls and ceilings. It forms the foundation of drylining and provides a smooth surface ready for decoration.
How long does plasterboard installation take?
A single room takes 1-2 days. Whole-house installations typically take 3-7 days depending on the number of rooms and any complex features like ceilings or bulkheads.
What types of plasterboard do you install?
We install standard wallboard, moisture-resistant boards for bathrooms and kitchens, fire-rated boards for safety compliance, acoustic boards for sound insulation, and insulated plasterboard for thermal efficiency.
Do I need plastering after plasterboard installation?
Not necessarily. We offer taping and jointing as an alternative to wet plastering, which produces a smooth, paint-ready finish without the mess and drying time of traditional plaster.
Can plasterboard be installed on existing brick walls?
Yes. We use the dot and dab method or timber battens to fix plasterboard directly to brick and block walls, creating a smooth surface and improving insulation.
Is plasterboard installation messy?
We work cleanly and efficiently, keeping dust and debris to a minimum. Our team uses dust extraction equipment and protects floors and furnishings throughout the installation.
