Painters and Plasterers in West Auckland

Homes in Titirangi, Laingholm, Green Bay and the foothills of the Waitākere Ranges are often surrounded by bush. They stay damp longer after rain, and walls that don't get much sun grow mould and lichen quickly. Paint applied over that growth fails fast, because it keeps living underneath.

We treat mould and lichen first, wash the surfaces, and let them dry out properly before painting. Inside, we deal with mould in bathrooms and on cold walls the same way, and use paints made for damp rooms.

West Auckland has a lot of plaster-clad homes built from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s, in suburbs like Massey, West Harbour and Henderson. Homes from that period with monolithic cladding were part of the leaky building problems in Auckland, so keeping the cladding sound and well painted really matters.

Because we're plasterers, we can repair cracks in plaster cladding and seal it properly before painting. If we see signs of a bigger problem, like swelling, soft spots or staining, we'll stop and tell you before you spend money on paint, so you can get it checked by the right expert.

Hobsonville, Whenuapai, Kumeū and the north-west are full of new homes and developments. We do GIB stopping and painting for builders, and help homeowners with extensions, touch-ups and new colour schemes once they've moved in.

Closer in, there are lots of weatherboard homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, plus some older villas. These often need cracked plaster and GIB joints fixed inside, and flaking paint scraped back outside. If your home was built before 1980, we'll talk to you about testing for lead paint before sanding.
