Finishes

Drywall finishes & plastering

The finish is what the client sees. High volume tape and jointing for fast track programmes, and premium multi finish skim where the specification calls for a traditional plastered surface.

Commercial tape and jointing

High volume mechanical and hand applied taping frameworks delivering seamless, paint ready walls and ceilings engineered for fast track construction programmes. Tapered edge joints are taped, filled and feathered in three coats, with internal and external angles beaded and finished to the level of decoration specified.

Mechanical tools let us keep pace with a programme measured in floors per week without sacrificing the finish, and the same teams that board the walls finish them, so there is no handover between trades.

Skim plastering

Traditional premium multi finish plastering over backing boards, delivering flawless, hard wearing and completely smooth architectural surfaces. Specified for volume residential, care homes and any environment where a monolithic skimmed finish is preferred to a jointed one.

NHBC and warranty compliance

On housing developments our finishes are executed to NHBC warranty guidelines, so the plastered surface passes inspection first time.
