Flat Walls from Bare Brickwork
Dot and dab — also called direct bond dry lining — is a method of fixing plasterboard directly to masonry, brick or block walls using dabs of drywall adhesive. It is a practical way to bring uneven bare walls to a flat, plumb finish without wet plastering the whole surface.
The result is a straight, solid boarded wall that is ready for a skim coat and decorating. With over 20 years of experience, Elite Plastering Contractors Ltd assesses each wall and uses dot and dab where it is genuinely the right approach for the surface.
Where Dot & Dab Is Used
The Right Method for the Wall
Dot and dab is not the answer for every wall — damp, poorly bonded or unsuitable substrates need a different approach. We look at the condition of your walls first and recommend the method that will give you a lasting, flat finish, keeping the working area clean throughout.
