As part of our Property Maintenance works, we can undertake all your stud wall partitioning ready for plaster boarding and plastering, all work is carried out to the highest of standards…

You’ll often have to build studwork partition walls on site during the framing stages of the job. They can be built to completely partition a room, divide a large room into two, to form a corridor or hallway, or build a nib for whatever reason. It’s really important to build them correctly and level/plumb to save yourself loads of problems later on. If you don’t get your stud work walls level, you’ll have much more work making the plasterboard fit, scribing each board in. And, not enough vertical studs will not only mean a weak partition wall that flexes but you’ll have difficulty when it comes to fixing the skirting boards or anything else to it later on.

If your interior wall framing is out of level there’s also a chance the door will swing open or shut on its own! These are just a couple of the problems that can result from poor interior wall framing and why it’s worth taking a little time to get it right now, that you’ll more than save later on.

The picture below shows a typical timber partition wall, consisting of vertical studs in between the top and bottom plate, and noggings/bridging in between the studs. Noggings add strength/stiffness and are also fitted at the height where the sheets of plasterboard join to prevent movement and cracking between the two board edges.
