    The Dry Alternative to Plastering

    Tape and jointing is a dry-lining finish technique that creates smooth, seamless joints between plasterboard sheets without the need for a full skim coat. It's faster, lighter, and ideal for many applications.

    Craig has extensive experience with tape-and-joint finishing on walls, ceilings, partitions, and commercial fit-outs. The result is a flat, paint-ready surface with invisible joints.

    Visible Joints Ruining Your Walls?

    Lines showing through paint

    Badly taped joints show through even the best paint. Craig applies multiple coats and sands between each for an invisible finish.

    Cracking at joints

    Joints crack when the wrong tape or compound is used. Craig uses paper or mesh tape with the correct jointing compound for a lasting finish.

    Bumpy, uneven surfaces

    Over-filled joints create ridges. Craig feathers each coat wider to create a perfectly flat transition.

    Don't want wet plaster

    Tape and jointing is ideal when you want to avoid the mess and drying time of wet plastering. Craig delivers the same smooth result.
