Taping and jointing is the modern alternative to wet plastering. Instead of applying wet plaster over plasterboard joints, our skilled technicians apply jointing compound and paper tape to create an invisible, crack-resistant seam. The result is a perfectly smooth wall or ceiling that is ready for painting or wallpapering in a fraction of the time.
At Drylining Bristol, our taping and jointing service is ideal for both new builds and renovations. It produces less mess, creates no drying delays, and delivers a finish that is just as smooth and durable as traditional plastering.

When to Choose Taping & Jointing
Taping and jointing is the best choice when speed and cleanliness matter. It is faster than plastering, produces minimal dust during application, and eliminates the risk of cracking that can occur as wet plaster dries and shrinks. It is also more cost-effective for large areas.
