Why It's Essential
Poor Plastering & Drylining Is the Top Post-Handover Complaint in Dubai
Hidden defects behind a smooth-looking wall can lead to cracks, mould, poor fixings, and — in commercial buildings — a wall that fails its fire rating despite using the right board.
The Standard We Inspect Against
Dubai Civil Defence requires partition walls to meet specific fire-resistance ratings — typically 60 minutes for standard separating walls, and 90–120 minutes for stairwells, lift lobbies, and plant rooms. Critically, the rating applies to the entire tested assembly — board type, stud gauge, fixing pattern, and joint sealing together — not the board alone.
In wet areas, moisture-resistant (green-faced) board is required given Dubai’s 90%+ coastal humidity. Using standard board here leads to swelling, joint failure, and mould — even when everything looks fine on the surface.

FAQ
Common Questions
What is a Plastering & Drylining Inspection?
A professional check of walls, ceilings, and drywall finishes. It verifies proper installation, alignment, and quality — including fire-rating and moisture-resistance compliance — while identifying issues like cracks, poor adhesion, and moisture problems early.
Why is it important in Dubai?
Dubai Civil Defence mandates specific fire ratings for partition walls, and coastal humidity above 90% makes moisture-resistant board essential in wet areas. Poor plastering and drylining is one of the most frequent post-handover complaints in the city.
Who should get an inspection?
Property owners, landlords, investors, developers, contractors, and tenants preparing for handover — especially before final payment, handover, or renovation sign-off.
How long does an inspection take?
Most apartments take 1–2 hours; larger villas or commercial fit-outs with multiple partition types can take longer.
What do I receive after inspection?
A detailed report with photo evidence of every defect, severity ratings, and clear, professional recommendations for correction.
