Questions

Good questions.

What details help with a job in Dunedin?

Tell us the job type, your suburb and a few lines about the work. Say how many walls or ceilings, new work or repairs, and when you want it done.

Is gib fixing the same as gib stopping?

No. Gib fixing hangs the boards. Gib stopping fills and smooths the joins after. Tell us if you need one or both.

Why does gib stopping take more than one visit?

Each coat must dry before the next one goes on. So the work is spread over more than one day.
