Plastering & Partition Walls in Foxrock.

Foxrock · The area

Why plastering and partition walls in Foxrock are a familiar brief.

Foxrock plastering briefs run at high spec. The post-war detached and large-semi housing uses modern board construction throughout. Standard scope is full skim plastering integrated into a renovation, new stud walls for ensuite additions and walk-in dressing rooms, suspended ceilings and bulkheads to hide service runs, and patching to a flat tolerance read in raking light (the Foxrock clientele will read it). Where partitions are removed to open up the ground floor (typical brief), we coordinate the engineer, fit the steel and reinstate the ceiling so the run reads as one. Cavity-wall construction makes stud partitions straightforward and the standard ceiling heights support deeper bulkhead and dropped-ceiling lighting effects. Painted finishes are sprayed where the spec calls for it.

Plastering & Partition Walls · How we run it

Plastering & Partition Walls in Foxrock, the way it should be done.

Plastering is the discipline that separates a renovation that looks finished from one that looks "nearly there". We plaster walls and ceilings flat to a tolerance that a low raking light cannot read — which is the only standard worth aiming for when the wall is going to carry a painted feature, wallcovering or a piece of fitted joinery.

For Dublin period homes we patch to match existing cornicing, picture rail and dado where the wall has been opened up for re-wires, new plumbing or partition removal. For modern renovations we frame stud walls in metal or timber, run services first-fix, board with the right grade for the room (moisture-resistant in wet rooms, acoustic in bedrooms separating from living spaces) and skim.

Where partitions need to be removed entirely to open up a ground-floor space, we coordinate the structural calc with an engineer, fit the steel and reinstate the ceiling so the room reads as one.

The work in Foxrock runs to the same specification we apply everywhere across Dublin and Leinster. Materials, sub-trade coordination, planning context and final certification are all managed from one studio.
