Tape and jointing has become the preferred method across modern construction because it offers speed, efficiency, and an exceptional finish when carried out properly. At JDH Plastering, we’ve refined our process to guarantee a smooth and durable result on every project, big or small.
What Is Tape and Jointing?
Tape and jointing is the process of reinforcing and finishing the joints between plasterboards. Instead of applying a full wet coat of plaster to the entire surface, only the joints, screw holes, and corner beads are treated. The method involves embedding joint tape into the seams between boards, applying multiple coats of joint compound, and sanding the surface to a flat, uniform finish.
The end result is a crisp, smooth surface that’s ready for paint or further decoration. When done correctly, tape and jointing blends each board into the next so the entire wall or ceiling looks like a single, continuous surface. It’s a system widely used in both residential and commercial construction because it’s quicker to complete, easier to maintain, and just as strong and long-lasting as traditional plaster finishes.

Faster Turnaround
There’s no need to wait for thick coats of plaster to dry. Tape and jointing speeds up the entire finishing process, helping projects stay on schedule.
Clean, Efficient Process
Minimal mess, no heavy mixing, and far less water and waste. Perfect for occupied homes or busy commercial environments.
Smooth, Consistent Finish
When done professionally, tape and jointing produces an even, blemish-free surface that’s ideal for painting. Every joint is reinforced to reduce the risk of cracking.
Ideal for Large or New-Build Spaces
Boarded new builds, offices, extensions, and lofts are all perfect for this method. It’s designed for modern drylining systems.
Cost-Effective
Tape and jointing generally requires less labour time and fewer materials than a full plaster skim, making it a more budget-friendly option without sacrificing quality.
Ready for Decorating
Once the final surface is sanded, it’s completely ready for painting or wallpapering. No extra plastering stages are needed.
