Plastering & Drylining Inspection Service
Ensuring Flawless Finishes for Your Property
The surface of walls and ceilings needs to be flawless. Our Plastering & Drylining inspections find defects before they get worse. Wall levels, board alignment, and joint quality are checked. We test the smoothness and thickness of the surface. We check for cracks, bulges, and gaps. We check that fillers and tapes are used correctly. The process is simple, and we provide clear results within 24–48 hours. We rank defects by risk and guide your repair plan. Our team ensures Dubai code compliance and thus assists you in keeping your interiors perfect.
Why Plastering & Drylining Inspection Matters
Cracks and visible defects after painting are created by uneven plaster and drylining. Over time, these poorly finished joints will bulge, debond and fail. Moisture is allowed to penetrate walls and ceilings through hidden gaps. When a house is damaged, it can lead to mold and structural decay. Drylining in high‑rise buildings in Dubai is a necessity as part of the building code regulations that set out fire safety and acoustic requirements. As per RERA, walls and ceilings must be within strict tolerances at handover. A professional inspection allows you to discover flaws in workmanship that a developer may overlook. Early fixes are far less costly and maintain interior aesthetics.


What We Inspect
Our thorough inspection covers every aspect of plastering and drylining work:
- Wall & Ceiling Levels: We measure vertical and horizontal surfaces for level tolerances. We ensure walls are plumb and ceilings are flat.
- Board Alignment & Fixing: We check that plasterboards and drylining panels are correctly fastened. We look for loose or over‑driven screws.
- Joint Treatment & Tape Work: We inspect joint fillers and tape placement. We verify smooth transitions and correct thickness.
- Surface Finish & Smoothness: We examine the final skim coat for uniform texture. We identify trowel marks, ridges, and uneven spots.
- Crack & Bulge Detection: We look for hairline cracks, popping at joints, and bulges indicating poor adhesion.
- Moisture & Bond Integrity: We test moisture levels behind boards. We check for signs of delamination or debonding.
