Plastering & Painting in Rolleston & Selwyn

Fresh paint transforms a home faster than almost anything — but only when the prep underneath is right. Across Rolleston and the wider Selwyn District we handle interior and exterior painting alongside the plastering that makes it look sharp: gib repairs, stopping, skim coats and the careful sanding that turns a patched wall into an invisible one.

The order of operations is everything. We start by protecting your floors, carpets and fittings properly — not a token sheet in the middle of the room, but real masking of skirting, architraves, switches and windows. Then comes the unglamorous work that decides the final result: filling dings and cracks, stopping screw holes and joints, sanding back to a smooth feathered edge, and priming bare patches so the topcoat does not flash. Only then does the colour go on, cut in cleanly and rolled evenly for a consistent finish.

Inside and out

Inside, we paint walls and ceilings room by room with minimal disruption — doors rehung, furniture moved back, and everything vacuumed and wiped down. Outside, we work with Canterbury conditions in mind: preparation that deals with chalking, flaking and weathered timber, and coatings applied in the right weather window so they cure properly instead of failing in the first season. Fascias, weatherboards, fences and outdoor structures all get the same methodical treatment.

Plasterboard damage is one of our most common callouts: doorknob holes, furniture dents, cracked joints and the aftermath of removed fixtures. Most are straightforward to repair — patch, stop, sand, seal and paint — leaving a wall that looks like nothing ever happened. Call or text 027 592 9582 with a photo of the room or the repair, and we will arrange a time to look and agree a fair price.
