Taping & Jointing

Smooth, paint-ready plasterboard finishes without a full plaster skim.

Line drawing: section through a plasterboard joint showing tapered board edges, joint tape and three feathered coats of jointing compound.

What it involves

Taping and jointing finishes plasterboard by reinforcing each joint with tape, building it up with jointing compound in successive coats and sanding it smooth. Done well, it gives a crisp, paint-ready surface without the drying time of wet plaster.

  • Bedding tape into the joints between tapered-edge boards.
  • Fitting beads to protect and define external corners and edges.
  • Applying successive coats of jointing compound, feathered out so joints disappear under paint.
  • Filling screw heads and making good around openings and services.
  • Sanding to a smooth, consistent surface ready for decoration.
