Different rooms need different boards. We use the right board for the job:
Plasterboarding and Drylining in Aldershot
Plasterboard is the starting point for most modern walls and ceilings. Fitted properly and skimmed, it gives you a strong, flat surface that is quicker to install than traditional wet plaster and ready to decorate sooner.

Overboarding Old Ceilings
Old lath and plaster or cracked plasterboard ceilings can be messy and disruptive to pull down. In many cases the better option is to fix new plasterboard straight over the top and skim it. It is cleaner, quicker and avoids disturbing old coatings, which matters if a ceiling has Artex that may contain asbestos.
Board and Skim: The Process
-
Measure and plan
We check the walls, ceilings and framing and plan the board layout.
-
Boarding
Boards are cut and fixed securely, with joints staggered for strength.
-
Taping and beading
Joints are taped and metal beads fitted to corners for clean, straight edges.
-
Skimming
Two coats of finishing plaster are applied for a smooth, seamless finish.
-
Clean-up
Offcuts and waste are taken away.
Plasterboarding FAQs
What is the difference between drylining and plastering?
Drylining uses plasterboard fixed to the wall or a frame, while traditional plastering applies wet plaster directly to masonry. Plasterboard is usually skimmed afterwards for a smooth finish.
Can you board over an Artex ceiling?
Yes. Overboarding is one of the safest and neatest ways to cover Artex. Learn more about Artex ceiling covering.
Do you work with builders?
Yes. We regularly board and skim extensions and conversions as part of a wider build.
