Plastering & Gib Stopping FAQs
What is a Level 4 finish?
Level 4 is the standard finish for most homes — joints and fasteners are stopped and sanded smooth, ready for paint in typical lighting. We can discuss Level 5 for critical lighting areas.
Can you repair cracks and water damage?
Yes. We repair cracked, damaged or water-affected plasterboard and blend it back so it's invisible once painted.
Do you plaster and paint together?
We do — having the same team stop and paint means a seamless, well-prepared finish and one point of contact for the whole job.
Do you handle new builds and renovations?
Yes — we stop new gib in new builds and renovations, as well as patch and repair work in existing homes.
How long before plaster can be painted?
Stopping compound needs time to dry between coats and before painting — usually a day or two depending on conditions. We make sure it's properly cured before the first coat of paint.
Can you match textured or existing ceilings?
Yes — we can patch and blend repairs into existing finishes, and advise on the best result where an exact match to older textures is tricky.
