Can you board over my existing plaster?

Often yes, and where plaster is failing across a whole wall it can be faster and flatter than rebuilding it. It costs wall thickness at every opening though — reveals, casings and outlets all need extending, and that is usually what decides it.

Do ceilings or walls go up first?

Ceilings, always. The wall sheets then support the ceiling perimeter. Reversed, the ceiling edge is unsupported and cracks along the wall junction.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Empire Park?

Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Empire Park job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Do you take board-only Empire Park jobs where we finish ourselves?

Yes — we hang straight and square as a standalone stage, ready for your taper, or we can board and finish it as one job in your Empire Park home.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Empire Park?

Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Does it matter how the board is stored on site?

Yes. It damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp slab and bows if stacked badly. Damaged edges become damaged joints, and a sheet that has taken moisture never finishes properly.

Why hanging decides the finish

The finisher inherits the layout

Where the sheets land, how many butt joints there are and whether the edges hit framing all get decided at hanging. A finisher can only work with what they are given.

The cheapest quality decision

Good hanging costs the same in materials as bad hanging. On an Empire Park job it is the single highest-leverage stage, and the one clients never see.
