Boarding & Dry Lining
Boarding & Dry Lining in Birstall
Plasterboard fitted to stud walls and ceilings, joints taped and ready for a smooth skim finish.
Dry lining is the boarding stage before plastering, and getting it right matters because a badly fitted board shows through in the finished skim. I fix boards tight to the studs or joists, cut cleanly around sockets and light fittings, and tape the joints so there's a flat surface for the plaster to go on.
This is the job that usually comes up during an extension, loft conversion or when a stud wall's gone in for a new room layout. I can board and skim as one job, or just do the boarding if you've got someone else finishing it.

the time either job was too small or they would give me time but not turn. I had a new upvc door fitted and the fitters said the boarding around the frame needs to be finished by plasterer so I made contact with Jimmy and he came down same day, gave me a quote which was reasonably priced and started with job very next day. This wasn't easy for Jimmy but he and his colleague persevered with it until it was complete. Even though they faced problems with the door they didn't moan or tried to charge me extra. They would arrive on time with positive attitude, very friendly and very good at their job. I highly recommend J.S plastering services for all your plastering needs. I will be using again for basement work..
I’m in a very good place to comment on Jimmy’s work, because I have work from two different plasterers in the property. I can safely say that Jimmy’s work is absolutely outstanding! Head and shoulders above the work of the second plasterer which came in. The walls and ceilings Jimmy plastered are silky smooth. Loved his work. I’m lucky the second plasterer only did a small portion of the house. I actually thought of calling Jimmy back myself to redo the plastering of the other plasterer but the decorator has said he can work with the plastering to achieve a good finish.
