Dry lining and plasterboard are widely used to create and improve interior wall and ceiling surfaces. They provide a practical way to form smooth backgrounds for decorating and are suitable for many renovation, refurbishment and new-build projects.
At Greens Plastering, we provide dry lining and plasterboard services to suit the requirements of your property. Whether you're updating an existing room, creating new internal surfaces or preparing a space for further finishing, the correct materials and installation methods are important to achieving a neat result.
Plasterboard can be fixed to suitable framing or backgrounds, depending on the construction and project requirements. Once installed, the joints and fixings may need appropriate treatment or further plaster finishing to prepare the surface for decorating.

Suitability and Limitations
The right dry lining or plasterboard solution depends on the building structure, the condition of the background and the intended use of the space. Before installation, the supporting framework or existing surface should be assessed for suitability.
Areas affected by damp, movement, structural defects or damaged materials may need attention before work begins. Special requirements may also apply to fire resistance, sound insulation or moisture-prone areas, so the correct board type and installation system must be selected for the situation.
We can discuss your project requirements and help determine a suitable approach based on the space and the finish you want to achieve.
We follow a straightforward process to help create neat, stable surfaces ready for the next stage of your project.
We assess the area, discuss your requirements and identify the appropriate installation approach for the walls or ceilings.
The background and supporting framework are checked, and the area is prepared for installation. Any necessary repairs or adjustments should be addressed before work proceeds.
Suitable plasterboard is measured, cut and fixed using the appropriate method for the structure and project requirements.
Joints and fixings are treated as required. Depending on the specified finish, the surface may then receive further plastering or skimming before decorating.
The right plasterboard solution depends on the room, the building structure and the finish you want to achieve. Choosing suitable materials and planning the finishing stages helps create an interior surface ready for its intended use.
Wall Dry Lining
Dry lining can provide a new interior wall surface over a suitable background or supporting system. The installation method depends on the existing wall and the project requirements.
Ceiling Plasterboard
Plasterboard is commonly used to form interior ceilings on suitable supporting frameworks. Careful installation and appropriate joint finishing help create a consistent surface.
Jointing and Taping
Plasterboard joints and fixings need suitable treatment to prepare the surface for the specified decorative finish. The level of finishing required depends on the final appearance and the chosen system.
Skimming for a Smooth Finish
Where required, a skim coat can be applied over suitable plasterboard to create a smoother surface for decorating. The board and preparation system must be appropriate for the plaster finish.
We can discuss the most suitable options for your project based on the room, the background and your preferred finish.
