Plastering & Partition Walls in Dundrum.

Dundrum · The area

Why plastering and partition walls in Dundrum are a familiar brief.

Dundrum's mixed housing brings two different plastering scopes. The pre-war and period semis around Churchtown and the village often retain original lath-and-plaster ceilings and lime-plaster wall finishes, which require careful patching where partitions are removed or services are reworked; original cornicing and picture rails need to be patched-to-match where new work intersects. Profiles are taken off the existing detail and run by a specialist where any section needs replacing. The Ballinteer, Sweetmount and Wesley mid-century estate housing uses modern board construction throughout, where the work is full skim plastering after partition removal, new stud walls, and suspended ceilings to hide service runs. Removing the partition between kitchen and dining (a common Dundrum estate brief) involves engineer-signed steel, fitted under our scope, with the ceiling reinstated to a flat tolerance ready for paint.

Plastering & Partition Walls · How we run it

Plastering & Partition Walls in Dundrum, the way it should be done.

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.

Every plastering and partition walls project in Dundrum is run personally by Marcin's in-house team — site visits within the working week on the Dublin side of the city, and same-day answers on WhatsApp. For the full detail on how we approach plastering and partition walls — process, specification and certification — see the plastering service page.
