Tomar painting & plastering services
Painting, plastering
& roof painting services.
Interior and exterior painting, plastering and roof painting need different preparation. Start with the service below, then explore the local branch information for Hamilton and Waikato, Rotorua, Tauranga or Auckland.
01 / Rooms, ceilings & trim
Interior painting
A room refresh and a full interior repaint have different scopes. Identify the walls, ceilings, doors and trim you want included, along with any cracks, stains or uneven areas that need attention before painting.
If the property will stay occupied, discuss room order, furniture, protection and drying time. Agree which spaces need to remain usable and who will arrange access.
- List the rooms and surfaces to include.
- Describe existing paint, damage and any plaster repairs.
- Discuss colour, finish and access as part of the written scope.
02 / Walls, joinery & exterior details
Exterior painting
Weatherboards, plastered cladding and joinery need preparation and coatings suited to their condition. Tell us which elevations, windows, doors, soffits or fascia you want in the quote, rather than assuming every exterior surface is included.
Point out flaking paint, cracks or damaged timber. The assessment should distinguish painting preparation from repairs that need another trade, and identify access equipment and protection around the property.
- Include the cladding type, if known, and visible problem areas.
- Mention upper-storey work, narrow access and neighbouring spaces.
- Discuss suitable conditions and how timing changes will be handled.
03 / Preparing walls & ceilings
Plastering, GIB stopping & skim coating
GIB stopping treats plasterboard joints, corners and fixings before decoration. Local plaster repairs address damaged areas; skim coating treats a wider surface where the existing finish needs more attention. The right approach depends on the board or wall, its condition and the finish you want.
Tell the branch whether this is new plasterboard, renovation work or an existing wall after wallpaper removal. Ask whether local repairs or a full skim are needed and how lighting and the planned paint finish affect the specification.
- Identify the rooms, new linings and areas needing repair.
- Mention moisture damage, moving cracks or loose material for assessment.
- Confirm whether sealing and painting are included in the same scope.
04 / Assess the roof before coating
Roof painting & preparation
Roof painting starts with the material, its existing finish and its condition. Repainting may be suitable for a serviceable roof; leaks, damaged details or significant deterioration need their own assessment before a coating is proposed.
A quote should distinguish cleaning, preparation, agreed repairs, primer and finish coats. Include roof type and age if known, access constraints and visible concerns. Ask the team to confirm suitability for your roof.
- Describe fading, flaking, rust or any known leaks.
- Confirm access, surrounding protection and the specified coating system.
- Share existing photos or photos taken from the ground.
05 / Premises, access & responsibilities
Commercial & managed-property painting
For offices, shops, rentals or managed properties, describe how the building will be used during the work. The painting scope needs to account for staff, customers or tenants, protection of contents, and access or handover requirements.
Discuss working hours, room or zone staging and who approves the work. Any proposed programme, specialist coating requirement or work across several properties needs confirmation for the individual sites.
- Provide the premises, areas needing work and any plans or specifications.
- Identify the property manager, access contact and relevant site rules.
- For several properties, list each location, scope and priority.
