Questions
Interior Finishing in Canterbury — FAQs
Can't find what you're looking for? Call us on the number above — we're happy to help.
Ask a questionCan I book just one finishing trade?
Yes. Whether you need only the plastering done or a full decorate, flooring and tiling package, we are happy to help with as much or as little as you need.
Do you finish work started by another builder?
We do. We are often asked to come in and finish projects to the standard they deserve, and we are glad to take a look.
How quickly can you start?
It depends on our current schedule, but get in touch and we will give you an honest lead time.
In what order do the finishing trades happen?
Generally plastering comes first and needs to dry, then decorating, with flooring and tiling fitted around them. When we handle all of it we sequence the trades properly so each one is ready for the next and nothing gets damaged.
How much mess and dust will there be?
Finishing work does create dust, especially sanding and old plaster removal, but we sheet up, protect what stays in the room and clean down as we go so your home stays liveable.
Can you match existing plaster, paint or flooring?
In most cases yes. We can blend new plaster into old, match paint colours and source flooring or tiles to tie in with what is already there, so repairs and additions do not stand out.
