Gib fixing and gib stopping are essential steps in building or repairing walls and ceilings. Gib fixing involves installing plasterboard (GIB) panels, while gib stopping makes sure that the seams between the panels are filled and smoothed for a flawless finish. These tasks require precision and experience to make sure your walls are ready for painting or wallpapering.

Gib fixing is the process of attaching gypsum plasterboard (commonly referred to as GIB) to a wall or ceiling frame. This task needs precision and expertise from professional GIB fixers.

• Measuring and cutting: Ezy Peazy taskers will measure the space on your wall or ceiling and accurately cut the plasterboard to fit.
• Securing panels: The plasterboard is securely attached to the wall or ceiling studs with screws or nails to make sure it stays in place.
• Initial setup: The panels are aligned properly and secured to ensure a stable and long-lasting surface.
  

Once the gib is installed, the seams and joints need to be filled to create a smooth, seamless wall or ceiling surface. This process is known as gib stopping.

• Applying joint tape: Joint tape is applied over the seams between the gib boards to reinforce the joints and prevent cracking.
• Applying joint compound: The tape is covered with joint compound to hide the seams and screw or nail holes.
• Sanding: Once the compound is dry, the area is sanded down to ensure a smooth surface.
• Priming and painting: After the sanding process, the surface is primed and painted to match the room’s décor.​
