Plastering and dry lining in North Shields and North Tyneside
Boarding, skimming, repairs, finishes ready for decoration.
Understanding plastering and dry lining
Preservation work opens walls up, so the finish matters as much as the treatment. We replaster with the correct salt resistant system after damp proofing, dry line where insulation or a warmer surface is wanted, and leave walls ready to decorate.

A proper finish, step by step
The right system on the right background, left clean and ready to decorate.
- 01
Assess the walls
We check the background, any earlier repairs and whether damp treatment is needed before plastering starts.
- 02
Preparation
Loose and blown plaster is removed, rooms are dust sheeted and surfaces are prepared for the new system.
- 03
Boarding and skimming
Salt resistant replastering after damp proofing, or dry lining and insulated boards where a warmer surface is wanted, then skimmed flat.

Tidy handover
Beads, corners and reveals are made good, the room is tidied daily and left ready for decoration once dry.
