Highlights

"We hired Phil for some plastering work in our laundry room, bedroom and hallway. He gave us a reasonably priced quote and was very prompt in starting the job. He was a pleasure to have working in the house - respectful, friendly and cleaned up as he went along. We're really happy with the quality of Phil's work and would recommend his services to anyone requiring a plasterer. :slight_smile:"

"Phil was awesome, completed the job over the Christmas break when no one else was available, had great communication throughout and arrived on time. Completed the work to a very high standard. Would definitely use Phil again!!"

JamieNoCowboys5.0 rating

"I hired Phil to carry out plastering work for a kitchen renovation. Phil turned up when stated and carried out all work meticulously. Phil would check and confirm a day prior to arriving and completed the work in exactly the timeframe that was discussed. I have no hesitation in recommending Phil if you was an honest hard working plasterer."

Phil is a master at plastering and a pleasure to have around the house. He takes great care of your property, producing quality finishes and leaving everything clean and tidy. He recently repaired movement cracks in plaster ceilings and walls throughout our house. Would highly recommend and will definitely call him in future when we need plasterwork done.

Phil did an outstanding job skim coating and repairing the walls in our lounge. His communication was exceptional throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and answering any questions we had. Phil was a pleasure to work with—friendly, professional, and meticulous in his approach. The quality of his work is masterful; our lounge walls look incredible, and we couldn't be happier with the result. Highly recommended!

Restricted building work in New Zealand must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner. Confirm they hold a current LBP licence - and check their licence class and any disciplinary history - on the LBP public register before you hire.

Check the LBP register
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
