Plaster Damage and Hole Repairs
If your wall has holes or deeper damage, we cut a clean section, insert new GIB®, then stop and finish it to match surrounding surfaces. Once the plaster is smooth and dry, we can also paint or colour match the area so the repair is invisible. You will not be able to tell where the damage was.
Our GIB Stopping Process
A great finish starts with great process. We never cut corners, instead, we apply our trusted techniques to ensure an interior finish that stands the test of time:
We use high-performance materials and primers for long-lasting adhesion
Sealing coats are applied to help plaster bind cleanly to the surface
Paper and fibre tapes are embedded in joints and corners to prevent cracks
Light and shadow checks ensure every surface is perfectly smooth
Attention to detail at every stage of the project
Workmanship guarantee on every job
We’re proud of our work because we know it adds value to your home. A poorly finished interior is immediately noticeable, we eliminate those concerns with expert preparation and refined skill.
Level 4 and Level 5 GIB Stopping and Skimming
If you’re aiming for walls and ceilings that meet the highest visual standard, Level 4 and Level 5 finishes are essential. These finishing levels are designed for high-end interiors where lighting, angles, and paint finishes will expose any imperfection. We deliver exceptional surface quality using premium materials, refined techniques, and years of experience.
Level 4 GIB stopping is the industry standard for residential interiors. It includes full taping, multiple coats of plaster, sanding, and surface refinement. This level provides a smooth and consistent base for most paint finishes and is suitable for areas with diffused lighting.
Level 5 GIB stopping goes a step further. Designed for feature walls, commercial interiors, and architectural homes, Level 5 includes a final skim coat across the entire surface. This creates a seamless, ultra-smooth base ideal for gloss or semi-gloss paints, strong natural or directional lighting, and high-traffic spaces where visual consistency is key.
Our Level 4 and 5 Process Includes:
Full joint stopping with high-performance compounds
Paper or fibre taping to prevent cracking
Multiple layers of compound with precision sanding
Light checks and shadow angles to eliminate flaws
Complete skimming of all surfaces for Level 5
Application of high-grade sealing primers for optimal paint adhesion
Every part of the surface is assessed and refined, ensuring the finish not only looks perfect today, but holds up for years to come. Whether it’s a luxury renovation or a new architectural build, our stopping and skimming work is trusted by designers and homeowners alike.
