Frequently asked questions
What is dot and dab?
Dot and dab is a dry-lining method where plasterboard is bonded directly to masonry walls using dabs of adhesive, creating a flat surface ready for skimming.
Is dot and dab suitable for my walls?
It works well on sound, dry brick or block walls. We assess the condition of your walls before recommending the best approach.
Do you skim after dot and dabbing?
Yes — the boarded surface is normally skimmed to a smooth, paint-ready finish as part of the same job.
Is it faster than wet plastering?
Dot and dab can be quicker to bring uneven masonry walls to a flat, plumb finish, which is why it is popular in renovations and extensions.
