Mr Skill

Although working with drywall is not difficult in theory, in practice this can be quite a different thing. This is because it is large, unwieldy and fairly brittle too. What follows is just a summary so you know what to expect after you Find a Plasterer from Mr-Skill – in practice you need to know far more than this to do the job yourself.

o Build up a wooden framework first. The finished job can only be as good as the structure it covers so take time here and make sure the joints are good and strong.

o To cut to size mark and score a cutline deeply. Fold the board back to snap it through, and then slice through the backing with a sharp utility knife.

o Attach the panels with 1-5/8” screws, starting with the row of panels against the ceiling. Make sure the joints are snug and that the screw heads are indented without damaging the outer covering.

o Seal the joints and screw heads with proprietary filler / edging strips, sand down and paint.

Now that you know what is involved you can safely get Plasterer Quotes from Joe’s Plasterer London or somebody in your local area, and monitor progress to make sure they get it right.
