OCL’s roots in drylining and plastering stretch back over 40 years, and today we deliver high-quality drylining solutions across Essex for commercial, residential and mixed-use developments. From urban regeneration projects to large-scale new builds, our Essex drylining teams provide reliable, specification-led installations that meet modern performance and safety standards.
With extensive experience operating across Chelmsford, Basildon, Colchester, Southend and surrounding areas, we understand the practical and logistical demands of projects throughout Essex.

We deliver pump-applied and hand-laid floor screeding services across Essex, including traditional sand and cement, granolithic and self-levelling anhydrite screeds. Our designated flowing screed teams are capable of installing large floor areas efficiently while maintaining consistent quality.
OCL works with leading manufacturers such as Mapei, Tarmac, CEMEX, Ardex and Knopp, ensuring Essex projects benefit from proven screed systems suitable for commercial, residential and industrial environments.

Our partitioning services in Essex provide flexible internal space solutions for commercial offices, residential developments and refurbishment schemes. Using non-load-bearing metal stud systems, we install partitions that deliver strong acoustic, fire and thermal performance.
OCL regularly installs partition systems manufactured by Knauf, Siniat and British Gypsum, enabling rapid installation with minimal disruption to surrounding works on Essex construction sites.

OCL supplies and installs a wide range of suspended ceiling systems across Essex, tailored to architectural, acoustic and functional requirements. From MF plasterboard ceilings to metal lay-in grid systems, our teams deliver clean, precise installations.
We work with manufacturers including British Gypsum, Knauf AMF, Rockfon, Ecophon, Armstrong, SAS and Burgess, ensuring compliance and quality on every Essex project.

Plastering remains at the heart of our business, with all operatives trained to the highest degree of competence, resulting in the production of skilled work.
A skim coat of plaster which can be applied to regular drywall or a two coat float and set are amongst the more commonly used approaches in modern construction. We are experienced in plastering not only vast flat expanses but also more intricate projects where precision is essential.
We also take great pride in our expertise and experience in the use of ‘Polished’ plaster, which can offer an unrivalled finish.

Our tape and jointing services in Essex provide a fast-track finishing solution widely specified on modern, high-rise and fast-paced developments. This cost-effective alternative to skim plaster delivers smooth, decoration-ready surfaces while supporting accelerated programme delivery.
