Our Mactaggart drywall boarding process, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Mactaggart is done in the right order — ceilings first so the wall sheets support the ceiling edges — with sheets hung tight to the framing and joints staggered so they do not line up and crack.

Square, tight and tape-ready

We cut clean around boxes and openings, keep gaps minimal for the taper, and check the board is flat and fastened properly before we leave. The better the Mactaggart boarding, the quicker the finish and the flatter the result.
