Gib - Stopping & Plastering
Gib-stopping & plastering in New Plymouth & Taranaki — smooth walls & ceilings ready for paint
Achieve a flawless finish with professional gib-stopping and plastering. We repair damage, stop new linings, and deliver paint-ready surfaces with clean lines and consistent texture across every room.
We handle new linings, small patch jobs, and full room resets using corner beads, joint tape, and the correct stopping level for your space and lighting. Our team feathers joins properly, sands between coats, and checks for critical light to reduce visible imperfections.
Dust control and tidy work areas keep disruption low while we get your walls and ceilings straight, smooth, and ready for a quality paint finish.
