Here’s how Ezy Peazy taskers can help with your GIB needs:

• Measuring and cutting: tailoring each sheet to fit your space — especially important in Wellington’s older villas and townhouses, which often have irregular corners, uneven framing and unusual layouts
  
• Fixing into place: accurately securing your plasterboard using screws or nails to ensure strength and stability — critical in our earthquake-prone capital
  
• Minimising disruption: whether you’re working from home in Karori or battling rush-hour traffic each day to get home to Paekakariki, our taskers keep things clean, efficient and on time
  

• Joint taping: reinforcing joints to prevent cracking — especially useful in homes affected by ground movement or in one of Wellington’s hilly suburbs
  
• Layering compound: building up layers of compound over joins and screw holes to create a smooth surface
  Final prep: sanding, priming and finishing so the wall blends seamlessly with surrounding areas — ready for paint or wallpaper
  

From damp corners in shady Kelburn homes to accidental holes in Te Aro student flats, patching is a cost-effective way to tidy up damaged walls.

• Assessing the damage: evaluating whether patching is enough or whether full replacement is needed
• Prepping the area: cleaning and preparing the space for repair
• Blending and finishing: matching the texture and finish of the patched area to your existing wall or ceiling
  

Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading an older property, proper GIB installation makes all the difference – both in looks and long-term durability.
Sometimes, damage is too severe to patch and full replacement is the smarter choice. Common causes in Wellington include persistent dampness, cracked foundations, or leaks from rooflines battered by southerlies. In these cases, full replacement is the way to go.

• 
  Removing existing linings: getting rid of scrim, pinex, or old plasterboard that’s no longer up to scratch
• Installing new GIB: accurate installation even in hard-to-access places like steep-roofed attics or stairwells
• Code-compliant finishing: making sure the work is ready for building inspections, or adds resale value
• Stopping and painting: optional finishing work to deliver a clean, polished result
