GIB Fixing Questions
What is GIB fixing?
GIB fixing is the installation of plasterboard onto wall and ceiling framing. It creates the foundation for GIB stopping, plastering, and painting.

Do you work on renovations and new builds?
Yes. We provide GIB fixing for renovations, extensions, new homes, and commercial construction projects.
GIB Stopping & Plastering Questions
What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finishes?
A Level 4 finish is suitable for most painted walls and ceilings, while a Level 5 finish includes a full skim coat to create an even smoother surface, making it ideal for feature lighting and darker paint colours.
Do you repair cracks and damaged plaster?
Yes. We repair cracks, dents, holes, water damage, and other surface imperfections before completing the stopping process.
How long does GIB stopping take?
Most residential projects take around three to four days, depending on drying times, property size, and project complexity.
GIB Coving Questions
What is GIB coving?
GIB coving is a decorative plasterboard moulding installed where the wall meets the ceiling, creating a smooth and attractive transition.
Can existing coving be replaced?
Yes. We can remove damaged coving and install new sections to match your property's style.
Painting Questions
Do you provide both interior and exterior painting?
Yes. We provide professional painting services for both the inside and outside of residential and commercial properties.
Do you prepare surfaces before painting?
Absolutely. Proper preparation is essential for a quality finish. We clean, repair, sand, and prepare all surfaces before applying paint.
Can you paint newly plastered walls?
Yes. We regularly complete painting projects after our GIB stopping services, ensuring the best possible finish.
Water Blasting Questions
Why should I water blast before painting?
Water blasting removes dirt, mould, algae, and loose contaminants, creating a clean surface that helps paint adhere properly and last longer.
Do you provide house washing?
Yes. We offer professional house washing along with driveway, pathway, deck, fence, and exterior surface cleaning.
Can water blasting damage surfaces?
When performed correctly, no. We use the appropriate pressure and cleaning method for each surface to achieve excellent results while protecting your property.
Project Questions
How much will my project cost?
Every project is different. Pricing depends on the size of the property, the condition of existing surfaces, materials required, and the scope of work. We provide free, no-obligation quotations with clear pricing.
How long will my project take?
Timeframes vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. We'll provide an estimated schedule before work begins and keep you informed throughout the process.
Will my property be kept tidy?
