About CB Plastering
Cade Baillie, Local and Owner Operator since 2016 - Whangarei, Northland
Started out as a boat builder in 2002. When the 2008 recession hit, it destroyed the boating industry. I transitioned into interior plastering and haven't looked back since.
Creating CB Plastering in 2016. Working as a one-man band for a couple of years with one housing company and one architectural builder. Over the years learning to be in business for myself was definitely tough. A lot of lessons were learned but my values and respect for the industry grew.
CB Plastering has grown in size with experienced and junior team members. Our team has built many long-term working relationships with many builders and construction companies in Whangarei.
What can we offer
CB PLASTERING is about the client and what we can do for you. Whether you have a renovation or a new build, we treat every job with the same high-quality workmanship. We won't take shortcuts or do substandard work. Our staff is trained to use the guidelines and standards for interior plastering.

What do we get asked the most
Every question is a good question.
How long does it take from start to finish?
Small to medium jobs can be about 5 days.
New builds depending on complexity (based on a 2.4m stud height) can be around 5 days per 100sq2 off the floor.
(eg: 250sq2 house can take up to 12-13 days)
Full skimming on a house depending on the condition of the walls (based on a 2.4m stud height) can be around 7 days per 100sq2 off the floor.
What is the process?
Keeping the steps simple so you get a general understanding :
Tape the joints and internal corners
One coat of plaster
Sand
Second coat of plaster
Sand
The final coat of plaster
Final sand, light check, and a recheck for any missed areas or repairs if necessary
And somewhere in there we have measured, cut, and fix cove or square stop
How much dust is involved?
Our vacuum sander usually removes about 80% of the dust from the surface and air, unfortunately, dust comes with the job. We try our best to clean the areas that we work in but we cannot guarantee a dust-free house during and on completion.
What is your availability?
We have 6 weeks of scheduling ahead of us, so the sooner you inquiry the easier we can fit you in.
How long does it take to dry?
12-24 hours for each coat (sometimes even longer).
You have many factors to take into account. Not every home is the same so drying times can take longer than others.
Poorer conditions for drying time:
Cold/wet weather (this is usually the case in most homes)
Age of house (condition of gib might be poor)
Poor circulation
Positioning of the house (eg: facing South where you get minimum to no light or warmth)
Lack of insulation and heating
Good conditions for drying time:
Opposite of the above outlined
My Plasterer started my job and hasn't shown his face or is avoiding my phone calls? Can you come to finish what he started?
Unfortunately, this is a reoccurring issue in our industry.
I will need to inspect their work first before I can give you an answer.
