PLASTERERS · HAWKE’S BAY

WHAT IS DIFFERENT HERE

Hiring plasterers in Hawke’s Bay

Napier's art deco and Spanish Mission housing needs work done sympathetically and often needs it done to old, non-standard dimensions, while the newer Hastings and Havelock North stock is straightforward. Cyclone repair work is still in the mix. Say the age of the house — it changes who is right for the job.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Do Napier and Hastings businesses cover both?
Most do — it is a twenty-minute drive and the two run as one market. Central Hawke’s Bay is further and a small job there may carry a travel charge, which the quote states.
What are the stopping levels?
New Zealand plasterboard finishing runs to levels, with the higher ones meaning more coats and more sanding for a flatter result. Level 4 is the common residential standard and level 5 is used where lighting is critical.
Is painting included?
Usually not, though many plasterers work alongside a painter. Ask, because a plastered wall is not finished until it is sealed and painted, and the handover between the two is where jobs stall.
Can old textured ceilings be smoothed?
Often yes, by skimming, though textured ceilings in older houses can contain asbestos and must be tested before anyone disturbs them. A plasterer should raise that before quoting.
How long before I can paint?
Compound needs to dry fully between coats and before painting, so allow days rather than hours, longer in winter. Rushing it shows through the paint.
