Internal and external plastering for homes. Smooth walls, feature finishes, and results that are built to last.
The quality of your plastering is what every painted surface rests on. Poor plaster preparation is visible through the final paint coat — and it never gets better with time. ST Coatings approaches residential plastering with the same precision and care that we apply to every other service: prepared correctly, applied to specification, finished to a standard that holds.
We provide GIB stopping and setting for new build residential projects, as well as traditional and modern plaster systems for renovation and repair work across Auckland and Northland. Our team has the experience to deliver smooth, flat walls ready for high-sheen paint finishes, as well as textured and feature plaster finishes for walls and ceilings.
For renovation projects, we assess the existing plaster before starting. Old fibrous plaster, damaged gib board, and poorly applied previous plaster all require different approaches. We identify what is there, advise on the best remediation or replacement approach, and quote accordingly.
ST Coatings also provides external plastering for homes, including re-plastering of damaged exterior walls, patch repairs, and new plaster coatings on masonry and concrete block. External plaster work is specified for New Zealand weather conditions and applied with the correct base coats and waterproofing treatments where required.
If you are also painting after plastering, we can manage both as a single scope — one team, one schedule, one point of contact.
