Frequently Asked Questions about Tape & Jointing
What is tape and jointing?
Tape and jointing is the process of sealing joints between plasterboard sheets using paper or scrim tape and joint compound. It creates a seamless surface ready for decorating without the need for wet plaster.
What finish levels do you offer?
We offer Level 3 (paint-ready), Level 4 (decorator-ready) and Level 5 (premium skim finish). Level 3 is ideal for commercial projects where speed and cost matter. Level 5 provides the smoothest possible surface for high-end finishes.
Is tape and jointing cheaper than skimming?
Yes, tape and jointing is typically faster and more cost-effective than full wet plaster skimming. It is ideal for large commercial projects and new builds where speed is essential.
How long does tape and jointing take to dry?
Joint compound dries in 24-48 hours depending on room temperature and ventilation. We apply multiple coats for a smooth finish, with drying time between each coat.
What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finish?
Level 4 is smooth under normal lighting and suitable for most painting. Level 5 requires a skim coat over the entire surface, achieving perfection under critical lighting such as downlights.
Can tape and jointing be used in bathrooms?
Yes, when moisture-resistant plasterboard is used and appropriate jointing compounds are selected. We recommend tanking in wet areas.
Do you offer fire-rated tape and jointing?
Yes. We use fire-rated plasterboard and intumescent mastic at joints to maintain fire compartmentation and achieve required fire resistance periods.
