About Premium Plastering & Painting

Premium Plastering & Painting is a Christchurch-based plastering and painting business led by director Charlie, serving residential and commercial clients across Canterbury. The company covers everything from new-build plastering to full renovations, repairs, and interior/exterior painting.

The business describes itself as community-based, built around long-term client relationships rather than one-off jobs. Its stated values centre on professionalism (pairing high-quality workmanship with efficient timelines), well-being (accommodating client and staff needs, such as start times or sensitivity to dust and paint smells), and clear communication — sticking to agreed arrival times, completion dates, and quoted prices.

Having trades that can both plaster and paint lets the team take on small repair jobs cost-effectively as well as larger renovation and new-build projects. The company has built up a strong base of client reviews on Google, with recurring mentions of Charlie's craftsmanship, communication, and reliability across projects ranging from bathroom renovations to full home repaints.

Premium Plastering & Painting: Christchurch Plasterers Led by Charlie

Premium Plastering & Painting is a Christchurch-based trade business covering plastering and painting for residential and commercial clients across Canterbury, led by director Charlie.

New builds to small repairs

The business splits its work into two main areas. For new builds, the team offers Level 5 Skimming/Spraying — the highest quality plaster finish, combining hand-skimming with spray techniques for a flawless, paint-ready surface — along with Gib Cove/Cornice Installation, ranging from simple straight lines to more ornate designs that hide joints between walls and ceilings.

On the renovations and repairs side, the range is broader still: patching holes and cracks, bathroom and kitchen renovations (including the specific finishes needed behind tiles or shower liners), stipple ceiling installation and repair, fiber fuse sheet installation to stabilise badly damaged lath, plaster or plasterboard walls, general skimming, and wallpaper stripping. Because the team includes multi-trade staff who both plaster and paint, smaller repair jobs can be handled cost-effectively without bringing in separate contractors.

A personal touch for family spaces

One area the business highlights specifically is children's bedroom and playroom redecorating — working with custom colours, patterns and decals to turn a child's vision into a finished room, treating each project as a collaboration with the family rather than a standard repaint.

Values behind the work

Premium Plastering & Painting frames itself as a community-based company built on relationships rather than transactions. Three values run through how the business operates: professionalism, meaning high-quality workmanship delivered on an efficient timeline; well-being, which extends to accommodating client preferences (like start times) and sensitivities (like dust or paint smells), as well as looking after staff work-life balance; and communication, with a stated commitment to sticking to agreed arrival times, completion dates, and quoted prices, and flagging any issues promptly.

What clients say

The business has built a strong base of Google reviews, with recurring themes: Charlie and the team following through on quoted timelines and prices, high-quality finishes on both plastering and painting work, and flexibility on demanding jobs — from an old villa with a 3.1m stud height to a full home renovation. Several reviewers, including other tradespeople, specifically praise the standard of the plastering work.

A look at the portfolio

Recent projects featured in the company's portfolio include a Unicorn Bedroom (November 2023), painting work on Brookfield Drive (January 2024), a villa project on Bristol Street (November/December 2023), several new builds (2021–2023), and a home renovation on Hills Road (2022) — spanning everything from playful kids' rooms to full villa restorations.

The experience

What comes through from the business's own materials and its client reviews is consistency: a director who's hands-on, a team that can handle both plastering and painting under one job, and a values-driven approach that treats communication and follow-through as seriously as the finished result.
