› What plastering services do you offer in Cork?
We offer stud wall and partition construction, drylining of internal walls, plasterboard ceiling installation, tape-and-joint finishing, full skim coats, insulated plasterboard, skimming over existing surfaces, and repair patches — across Cork City and County Cork.
› How long does plastering a room take?

› Do you provide free plastering quotes in Cork?

› What is drylining and when do I need it?
Drylining involves fixing plasterboard directly to an internal wall — either dot-and-dab or on a stud frame — instead of applying wet plaster. It's commonly used when insulating external walls, creating a flat surface on an uneven wall, or upgrading older properties with poured concrete walls. It's faster to dry and can significantly improve thermal performance when used with insulated boards.
› Can you plaster just one room or do you only take large jobs?
We take jobs of all sizes — from a single room skim to full-house plastering as part of a larger renovation. If you're not sure whether your job is the right size for us, just give us a call and we'll be straight with you.
