Plastering services
Drylining
Drylining fixes plasterboard to walls, ceilings or a timber or metal frame instead of applying wet plaster straight onto masonry. Loader Luxe Plastering dry lines partitions, extensions and refurbishments across London and Kent, then tapes and skims for a smooth finish.
Drylining by Loader Luxe Plastering
Drylining is fast, clean and dry, so other trades can follow on sooner. It is ideal for new stud partitions, ceilings, extensions, basement and garage conversions and commercial fit outs.
We use the right board for each room: standard board for most walls, moisture resistant board in bathrooms and kitchens, acoustic board between bedrooms and flats, and fire rated board where building regulations require it. Insulated plasterboard can also improve a cold solid wall.
Boards are fixed with adhesive dabs or screwed to a frame. Joints are taped and the whole surface is given a full skim, so the finish matches a traditionally plastered wall.
What is included
- Stud partitions and ceilings
- Moisture resistant board for bathrooms
- Acoustic and fire rated board

Questions
Drylining questions
Straight answers from a master plasterer. Anything else, call 07515 569399.
Is drylining better than wet plastering?
Neither is better in every case. Drylining is quicker and dries straight away, while wet plaster is harder wearing and suits solid walls. We recommend what suits your project.
Can drylining help with a cold wall?
Yes. Insulated plasterboard adds a layer of insulation to solid external walls and can make a noticeable difference to a cold room.
Do you skim over new plasterboard?
Yes. We tape the joints and apply a full skim so the finish matches a traditionally plastered wall.
