Whether it’s a new build, extension, loft conversion, or renovation, our skilled team will ensure your walls are perfectly prepared for painting, wallpapering, or other decorative finishes.
Why Choose Dry Lining?
Dry lining is a modern alternative to traditional wet plastering. Instead of applying multiple layers of plaster that require long drying times, plasterboard sheets are fixed directly to the wall or ceiling, creating a clean, flat surface ready for finishing. This method is faster, cleaner, and more adaptable to different property types.
For many Southampton homeowners, dry lining is the preferred choice because it:
- Saves time on projects
- Offers excellent insulation and soundproofing
- Works well with uneven or damaged walls
- Reduces the mess compared to traditional plastering
Types of Dry Lining We Offer
- Tape and joint systems – creating a seamless finish on plasterboard joints without the need for full skimming.
- Partition wall dry lining – ideal for creating new rooms or dividing spaces.
- Moisture-resistant boards – perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms.
- Fire-resistant boards – adding extra safety for certain areas of your property.
No matter which system we use, we ensure every installation meets the highest standards of accuracy, stability, and finish.
Dot and Dab
What is dot and dab?
Dot and dab applications involves dabbing dots of plasterboard adhesive directly onto the wall, and then pushing the plasterboard sheet to the adhesive and allowing it to set. While traditional plastering may take days to fully prepare for the decorating stage, dot and dab boarding is ready for a skim of finishing plaster or to be decorated in a matter of hours.
Dot and Dab Boarding
There are a number of advantages to the dot and dab plasterboard system. The obvious advantages of dot and dab is speed of application. But improved levels of sound dampening, thermal insulation, damp proofing, moisture resistance, and fire retardation can all be gained using different types of dot and dab plasterboard.
The Dot and Dab Finish
With plasterboard fixed in place the finish can be applied within a short time frame. Dot and dab linings can be skimmed with plaster, painted or wallpapered. If the wall is to be wallpapered, a couple of coats of drywall primer should be applied before papering, to avoid major problems should the wallpaper need to be removed at a later date.
