Basingstoke plasterboard and dry lining cost
The Basingstoke plasterboard and dry lining cost is a quote given before we come to the house. That quote pays for the cutting, the fixing, the taped seams, corner beads, and a skim, which is a thin finishing coat of plaster, when a smooth face is wanted. More sheets, a ceiling instead of a wall, or a different sheet all move the quote. We arrive on time for that boarding. We keep to that quote.
Included
- Cutting and fixing boards to the frame or wall
- Taping and jointing the board edges
- Reinforced corners and metal beads where needed
- A skim coat when the room is being finished
- A Basingstoke ceiling needs more time than a wall, since each sheet is lifted up and screwed above head height.
- Name both sides of a new Basingstoke partition at Book Now if each side needs sheets, and both sides sit in one quote.
- A moisture resistant sheet, the one for a bathroom, moves the Basingstoke quote, and so does a fire rated sheet, the one that slows fire.
- The Basingstoke quote leaves out the timber frame, the wiring, the pipes and later painting.

What happens on the day
On boarding day in Basingstoke the frame is already standing. We then cut, fix and tape, in that order. A skim, meaning finishing plaster spread thin, goes on the sheets when a smooth face is wanted. Dry lining means those sheets cover the frame or the masonry. Wet plaster is not spread straight onto the brick.
- Bare studs and open joists in BasingstokeBoarding in Basingstoke begins only when the timber frame is up, or when the ceiling joists are open. A stud is an upright timber inside a partition. A joist is a timber the ceiling sheets fix into. We have started from a partition that was still bare timber studs, before the sheets went on. We have covered an end wall with pink plasterboard while the side studs were still open. We do not build that frame. We do not run the wiring. We do not run the pipework.
- Openings cut in Basingstoke sheetsEach Basingstoke sheet is cut around windows, door linings and socket boxes before a screw goes in. A socket box is the recess a plug point sits in. Seams are put where filler is easy to reach. The same cuts close a ceiling whose joists have been uncovered. Those joists are the timbers the sheets fix into overhead.
- Screws and adhesive in BasingstokeScrews pull each Basingstoke sheet tight to the studs. On a rough masonry wall, adhesive sticks the sheet flat to the brick or the block. Adhesive is the compound that sticks the sheet to that wall. Each screw head stops just beneath the face of the sheet, so filler can cover it. Both sides of a new partition are sheeted where each side faces a room.
- Seams, beads and skim in BasingstokeFiller and tape close every seam on the Basingstoke sheets. A metal bead, a straight metal angle, is set on outside corners and around openings so the edge stays true. We have put a metal bead on a plasterboard ceiling over a kitchen that was stripped back. We have sheeted the ceiling of a small room with a single window. A skim covers the sheets when a smooth face is wanted. Filled seams can take paint when a skim is not wanted. We tidy the room on the way out. Paint and wallpaper come later, as their own job.

WhatsAppDo you board walls and ceilings with plasterboard?
Yes, Heath plastering and rendering fixes sheets to timber frames and to masonry walls, then tapes the seams. A skim, the thin plaster coat over those sheets, goes on when the Basingstoke room should look smooth. Wet plaster is not trowelled straight onto the brick for this work.
Which parts of Basingstoke do you board?
We board in Brighton Hill, in Chineham, in Hatch Warren and in Kempshott. Heath plastering and rendering works from Winchester. The Basingstoke boarding covers RG21 and RG24, plus RG22 and RG23.

Have you boarded partitions and plasterboard ceilings?
Yes, we have boarded a small room ceiling that has one window, pink sheets across an end wall while side studs stayed open, and a kitchen ceiling that carried a metal bead. Gary Heath, plasterer, said: "We have been plastering and rendering since 1988. Every job, big or small, gets the same care, and we leave the place tidy when we go."
