Drywall and Gypsum Board Installation in Lagos, Nigeria
Our Drywall and Gypsum Board Installation in Lagos covers walls, partitions, ceiling features and bulkheads, built on metal framing and finished with taped, filled and sanded joints ready to paint.
Drywall and Gypsum Board Installation by My Space Design
Gypsum board, often called drywall or plasterboard, is a sheet of gypsum core faced with paper. Fixed to a light metal frame, it forms flat walls, partitions and ceilings much faster than wet plaster and block. Our Drywall and Gypsum Board Installation in Lagos uses this system to build new rooms, line existing walls, form ceiling features and box in pipes, ducts and beams.
The quality of drywall shows in the joints. We fix boards with the correct screw spacing, stagger the joints, apply paper or mesh tape and build up filler in thin coats, sanding between layers for a flat, invisible seam. Homeowners and businesses in Ipaja, Alimosho and across Lagos receive surfaces that take paint evenly and show no lines under strong lighting.
Different rooms call for different boards. Standard board suits bedrooms and living rooms, moisture resistant board suits kitchens and bathrooms, and fire rated board suits escape routes and plant rooms. Our Drywall and Gypsum Board Installation in Lagos matches board type, framing and insulation to each location, and our supervisors check every stage for alignment, fixing and finish quality before the next begins.
Scope of work
What our drywall and gypsum board installation covers
Drywall walls and partitions
We build stud partitions with gypsum board on both faces to create new rooms, cupboards and corridors. Partitions can carry insulation, electrical services and backing timbers for wall mounted fixtures such as shelves and televisions.
Wall lining
Uneven block or concrete walls are lined with gypsum board on furring channels or adhesive dabs, giving a straight, smooth surface and a small cavity for cables and conduits behind the board.
Gypsum ceilings
Flat and stepped gypsum board ceilings are fixed to suspended metal frames, creating a clean ceiling plane with neatly cut openings for downlights, speakers, smoke detectors and air conditioning grilles.
Bulkheads and boxing
We form bulkheads in living rooms, corridors and kitchens to conceal ducts, beams and pipework, and build boxing around columns and service risers so exposed structural and plumbing elements blend into the finished room.
Feature walls and niches
Television walls, recessed shelves, backlit niches and headboard panels are shaped in gypsum board, with LED strip channels built in to add soft accent lighting to living rooms and bedrooms.
Taping, jointing and sanding
Every joint and screw head is taped, filled in layers and sanded smooth. External corners receive metal beads for straight, durable edges, and the whole surface is ready for primer and paint.
Our process
How drywall installation runs with My Space Design
- Step 1
Site measurement
We measure walls and ceilings, check floor and slab levels, and identify services, beams, windows and openings that affect the layout of framing and boards.
- Step 2
Design and quotation
We agree the wall and ceiling designs, select board types and insulation, and prepare a cost estimate covering framing, boards, jointing, finishing and decoration for your approval.
- Step 3
Framing and boarding
Our installers fix metal tracks and studs or ceiling grids, run electrical services, add insulation, then screw boards firmly in place with staggered joints and correct screw spacing.
- Step 4
Jointing and painting
We tape, fill and sand all joints, install corner beads, prime and paint the surfaces, then remove all sanding dust and clean the room ready for handover.
Materials and components
Drywall and gypsum board materials we install
A drywall system depends on matched components working together. We use framing, boards, fixings and jointing products designed for each other, which gives straight walls and crack resistant joints. Board selection follows the room: moisture resistant board for wet areas and fire rated board where protection is required.
- Standard gypsum board
- Moisture resistant board
- Fire rated board
- Metal studs and tracks
- Furring channels
- Drywall screws
- Paper jointing tape
- Jointing compound
- Metal corner beads

Questions
Drywall and Gypsum Board Installation FAQs
Is gypsum board strong enough for Lagos homes?
Yes. Gypsum board on metal framing forms solid interior walls and ceilings. For wet rooms we use moisture resistant board, and we add backing inside walls wherever heavy items such as televisions or cabinets will be mounted.
How much does Drywall and Gypsum Board Installation in Lagos cost?
The cost depends on the wall or ceiling area, the board type, insulation and the level of detail in features such as niches and bulkheads. We measure the space and prepare a cost estimate before work starts.
Will the joints crack after installation?
Proper framing, correct screw spacing, staggered joints and taped, layered filler keep joints stable. We follow these steps on every installation and allow each coat of compound to dry fully before sanding, priming and painting.
What is the difference between drywall and POP?
Drywall uses factory made gypsum boards fixed to a frame, giving flat surfaces quickly. POP is plaster of Paris cast or applied on site and suits detailed decorative ceilings. We often combine both in one interior.
