What does plasterboard and dry lining cost in Fareham?

The Fareham cost for plasterboard and dry lining pays for cutting the sheets, fixing them, taping every joint, metal beads on the corners, and a skim if you want a smooth face. A larger area of wall or ceiling changes that cost. A ceiling changes it, because each sheet is supported overhead while the screws go in. Adding a skim, or using a different grade of sheet, changes that cost too.

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
  • Supporting each sheet overhead on a Portchester ceiling is extra time, and that time is part of the Fareham cost.
  • Boarding both sides of a new partition in Titchfield uses more sheet than one side, and that extra area changes the Fareham cost.
  • A moisture resistant sheet, made for a wet room, changes the Stubbington materials. A fire rated sheet, made to slow fire, changes them too.
  • The timber frame, the cables, the pipes and the decorating are not in the Fareham cost. We are on time for the boarding. We keep to the price you were given.

What happens on the day

Plasterboard and dry lining in Fareham moves through cutting, fixing and jointing, in that order. Dry lining means the sheets cover timber or masonry. We do not spread a wet coat on the brick. A thin finishing coat, called a skim, comes last. It goes on only when you want the face smooth.

  • What is already built before plasterboard in Fareham?Studs already stand before we fix plasterboard in Fareham, or the ceiling joists are already open. Studs are the upright timbers in a partition. Joists are the timbers a ceiling sheet fixes to. We do not build those studs. We do not run the cables or the pipes. We then sheet each side of a new partition that faces a room.
  • Where are Fareham plasterboard sheets cut?We cut each Fareham sheet to the windows, the door frames and the sockets before we drive a screw. A socket is the point a plug uses on the wall. We leave the join between sheets where filler is simple to reach. On a ceiling, we set the edge of the sheet on a joist.
  • How does plasterboard stay on a Fareham wall?Screws pull each Fareham sheet onto the studs. We stop the head of each screw just under the paper, so filler has room to sit. On rough brick or block, we spread a sticky coat on the back of the sheet. That coat is adhesive. It holds the sheet flat against the masonry.
  • How are Fareham plasterboard joints finished?We press tape into each Fareham joint. We lay filler over the tape until the sheets form one face. A metal bead, a slim straight trim, goes on outside corners and around openings so the edge stays true. We skim the sheets when you want them smooth. Filled joints take paint when you leave the skim off. We take the spare pieces away. We leave the room tidy.
