Plasterers in Papakura

Velvetina lime plaster applied to an interior wall, burnished to a soft sheen

Papakura runs from the older established streets near the town centre out to the newer developments at Takanini and Hingaia. We work across both — recoating and repairing mid-century solid plaster, and installing full cavity systems on new builds.

A lot of Papakura's 1990s and early 2000s housing is monolithic cladding without a cavity. We are often called in to assess whether it is repairable.

How much does plastering cost in Papakura?

As a broad guide, exterior plaster cladding systems typically run between roughly $120 and $220 per square metre of wall area supplied and applied, depending on the system, substrate, number of storeys and complexity of detailing. We measure on site and give a fixed written price.

What is solid plastering, and how does it differ from a plaster cladding system?

Solid plastering is a cement-based plaster applied by hand, in coats, directly onto a solid substrate such as concrete block, brick or fibre cement sheet. A modern plaster cladding system is a manufactured build-up — cavity battens, a specified substrate board, reinforcing mesh, a modified basecoat, a texture coat and a paint system — installed to the manufacturer's specification and covered by their warranty. New homes in Auckland are almost always the second type, because a drained cavity is required for weathertightness compliance.

How much does plastering a house cost in Auckland?

As a broad guide, exterior plaster cladding systems in the Auckland region typically run between roughly $120 and $220 per square metre of wall area supplied and applied, depending on the system, substrate, number of storeys and complexity of detailing. Recoating or repairing existing solid plaster usually sits well under that. Heritage and specialty interior lime work is priced individually.
