Our Sheffield-based team works across the city and surrounding areas, delivering smooth, straight surfaces ready for skimming and finishing.
What Is Plasterboarding?
Plasterboarding (or “dry lining”) is the process of fixing gypsum plasterboard to:
- Internal walls (direct to brick or studwork)
- Ceilings
- Room partitions or false walls
It creates a smooth, even surface that can be skimmed or jointed and painted. In some cases, especially on bare brick or blockwork, solid plastering may be more suitable than plasterboard. We’ll always assess the condition of your walls during a visit and advise you on the best solution as part of your free quote.
Where We Use Plasterboarding
Our plasterboarding Sheffield team works across a wide range of projects — from extensions to commercial shop fits. We install plasterboard in:
- Loft conversions & attic rooms
- Home extensions & garage conversions
- Stud wall and partition wall builds
- Ceiling replacements & overboarding
- Commercial spaces, offices & shopfitting
- Damaged walls where plaster is removed
- New Build homes
After plasterboarding, it’s standard practice in the UK to apply a skim coat of plaster. This creates a smooth, seamless finish ready for decorating. Explore our skimming services in Sheffield to learn more.
Plasterboarding v Dry Lining What’s the difference?
In the UK, the terms plasterboarding and dry lining are often used interchangeably — but they can mean different things.
Plasterboarding typically refers to fixing plasterboard to walls or ceilings and then finishing the surface with a full skim coat of plaster. This gives a smooth, seamless finish, ideal for decorating — and it’s what most UK homeowners expect.
Dry lining, on the other hand, often means fixing plasterboard and then finishing the joints with tape and jointing compound, rather than plastering the whole surface. This method is common in commercial builds and in countries like the US, but it’s rarely used in domestic homes across Sheffield.
At P3 Plastering, we almost always skim over plasterboard for a high-quality, professional finish that blends perfectly into the rest of your home.
