Hanging and taping plasterboard, including metal stud partitioning and dry lining systems.

A qualified Swindon plasterer can typically skim 18 m² per day (£230 daily rate) with a 25 kg multi-finish bag covering roughly 10 m². Get matched to verified local pros via the board below.
Dry lining is sometimes seen as the cheap alternative to wet plaster. But its real advantage is structural: boards build a new flat base, so the finish no longer depends on the old wall behind it. Wet-plastering a failing wall costs more and still follows the old surface off.
