What it covers

Plastering & Partition Walls, run in-house by Marcin's team.

Plastering is the discipline that separates a renovation that looks finished from one that looks "nearly there". We plaster walls and ceilings flat to a tolerance that a low raking light cannot read — which is the only standard worth aiming for when the wall is going to carry a painted feature, wallcovering or a piece of fitted joinery.

For Dublin period homes we patch to match existing cornicing, picture rail and dado where the wall has been opened up for re-wires, new plumbing or partition removal. For modern renovations we frame stud walls in metal or timber, run services first-fix, board with the right grade for the room (moisture-resistant in wet rooms, acoustic in bedrooms separating from living spaces) and skim.

Where partitions need to be removed entirely to open up a ground-floor space, we coordinate the structural calc with an engineer, fit the steel and reinstate the ceiling so the room reads as one.
