Our plaster home in Karori needed serious crack repair before painting. The team sorted it properly, not just a quick patch job.
Removed our dated popcorn ceiling and re-skimmed it smooth. Looks like a completely different room now.
Our villa's old solid plaster had cracks everywhere. Proper repair, not just filler over the top - really impressed.
GIB stopping done to a genuine level 4/5 finish before our repaint. You honestly can't see a single join.
Cracked ceiling repaired and re-skimmed perfectly. No idea it was ever damaged once it was painted over.
Exterior plaster cracks repaired before painting. Honest about what actually needed fixing and what didn't.
Yes. We offer a free consultation and quote so we can assess the work required and give you a clear idea of the expected cost and timeframe.
Plastering creates a seamless, level foundation. Without proper stopping and sanding, paint will highlight every bump, joint, crack and surface imperfection on your walls and ceilings under internal lighting.
Not necessarily. In many cases, we can repair localised damage such as cracks, holes, dents or damaged sections without re-plastering the entire wall. We'll assess the condition of the surface and use the most suitable repair method to blend the area smoothly with the surrounding wall. If the damage is widespread or the existing plaster is in poor condition, full re-plastering may be the better option for a consistent, long-lasting finish.
We aim for Level 4 and Level 5 finishes, the highest standards in New Zealand. Level 5 involves skim coating the entire surface, ensuring zero board show-through under harsh or critical lighting conditions.
We strongly advise against plastering directly over wallpaper, as moisture from the compound can cause the paper glue to fail, leading to bubbling. We recommend stripping the wallpaper before plastering.
We strip loose material, fill deep voids, scrape off high spots, clean away dust and grease, and apply a specialised sealer or bonding agent to ensure maximum plaster adhesion.
Yes, we provide a full written workmanship guarantee. When combined with our professional interior painting, we ensure long-lasting durability without cracking or joint popping.
Yes. We use specialised moisture-resistant compounds and water-resistant plasterboard systems, such as GIB Aqualine®, designed specifically for high-humidity environments.
Plastering involves sanding, which generates fine dust. However, we use dust extraction sanders, seal off working zones with plastic barrier drop sheets, and cover all floors and furniture to minimise mess.
Yes. We keep the work area organised during the project and clean up plastering materials and rubbish once the work is completed. We aim to leave the area as clean and tidy as practical.
Cracks don't fix themselves. Left untreated, they widen, trap moisture and make future repairs more expensive.
