Our Plastering Services in Wallsend & Surrounding Areas
The kind of plaster you need and the application method depend on the type of surface and wall you have. Plastering directly onto an existing wall or old brick or blockwork will differ from plastering over a plasterboard or a new wall. Some of the plastering services we offer include the following:
Boarding
A plasterboard is a gypsum panel, aka calcium sulfate dihydrate board, typically sandwiched between a backer and a facer. It’s normally used to construct exterior and interior walls. This “drywall” technique gained popularity as a quicker and more economical option to the older lath and cement construction.
Plasterboards can be used to achieve acoustic insulation, fire safety, thermal efficiency and other building regulations.
Other names for plasterboard include drywall, gypsum board, wallboard, and wall panels. Our recommended manufacturer for plasterboards and other plastering materials is British Gypsum. They supply products and materials such as
- Gyproc plasterboards
- Thistle multi-finish
- Thistle board finish.
Skimming
Painting over cracks and rough surfaces won’t always fix them however with skim plastering (also known as skimming) this can help achieve smooth and level surfaces ready for decoration. Skim plastering is the best wall facelift.
If your walls, ceilings, etc., are in decent shape, you should only consider re-skimming. This entails spreading a thin layer of plaster to a wall that already has plaster to achieve a smoother surface.
In comparison to completely plastering a wall, it is much less expensive. We offer entire re-skims or single-room re-skims.
Dry lining
Dry-lining a wall means that we glue plasterboard to your wall to hide wires and pipes and create insulation. It will leave you with a smooth surface so you can begin decorating immediately.
Dry lining can be used on even surfaces, brick or blockwork, making it appropriate for various applications.
Additionally, it can be used to generate curved walls, which inspire creativity or help in managing oddly shaped or smaller spaces.
In newer buildings, stud walls are frequently used to partition living spaces. Dry-lining plaster boards may be easily placed on these stud walls to achieve sturdiness, smoothness, and safety.
