Dry Lining in Laois
Our Dry Lining Services in Laois & Other Counties
We install plasterboard to walls and ceilings, build metal stud partition walls to divide or reconfigure rooms, and dry line external walls to create a flat, smooth surface ready for finishing.
In bathrooms and wet areas we use moisture-resistant board throughout — a step some teams skip that causes problems further down the line.
Every job is properly taped and jointed before any finishing work begins, because it's a detail that matters enormously to how the surface holds up long term.
Most of our dry lining work is carried out as part of a full bathroom or room renovation.
When a bathroom is stripped back to the walls it's the ideal time to re-board and start fresh — particularly in older homes where walls are uneven or damp-affected. Dry lining done properly at the start means everything that follows — tiling, plastering, finishing — goes onto a solid, level surface. It's the foundation the rest of the job depends on and we treat it that way.

Both. While a lot of our dry lining work is part of full bathroom and room renovations, we also take on standalone dry lining jobs throughout Laois, Carlow and South Kildare.
Dry lining is the process of fixing plasterboard to walls or a timber or metal frame rather than applying a wet plaster coat directly to the masonry. It's faster, creates a flat and level surface ready for finishing, and when insulated board is used it also improves the thermal performance of the wall. It's particularly useful in older homes where walls are uneven or where a fresh start is needed as part of a renovation.
Yes, always. Standard plasterboard is not suitable for bathrooms or wet areas. We use moisture-resistant board in all bathrooms and wet rooms as standard.
Yes. We build metal stud partition walls to divide or reconfigure rooms — a popular option for homeowners looking to alter the layout of a space without major structural work.
It depends on the size of the area and the scope of work. A single room can typically be boarded in one to two days. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
