Dry Lining

Direct Bonding
Direct bonding, also known as dot and dab, takes advantage of layers of plasterboard that are fixed into place on traditionally masonry surfaces.

Standard Wall Partitions
These wall partition systems can make use of a wide selection of boards including moisture boards, wallboards, soundproof boards, fire proof shields and more.

Stud Wall Linings
Stud wall linings are an ideal solution when a surface is not suitable for other types of lining systems and where the wall lining is required to be separate of an adjoining wall.

Plastering

Our plastering abilities range from loft conversions and single story extensions, to walls and ceilings. To achieve a strong, even surface for skimming on visible breeze blocks, a product called hard wall plaster must be applied directly to the bricks to create an even surface.

When bare breeze blocks are visible, a product called bonding plaster must be applied directly to the surfaces.

Applying a gritted solution to the bricks or blocks prior to plastering will help the plaster adhere and can also be used prior to skimming.

Plastering has a slower drying process but the surface structure is harder. Two-part filler skimming has a faster process to getting a wall or ceiling painted but results in slightly softer surfaces. Ideal for small defects in wall or ceilings.

Two-part filler skimming is a process not used by many companies. The first coat is a sticky filler that dries as hard as concrete. Once dried, a softer sand-able filler is skimmed over the surface before being carefully machine-sanded with an extraction hoover and by hand where needed.
