What’s the Difference Between Plastering and Rendering (Solid Plastering)?
They might look similar once finished, but plastering and rendering are two distinctly different methods, and it’s good to know what sets them apart.
Plastering: Plastering is a finer, thinner coat, usually pre-mixed, applied over a base layer like mesh or cladding. It’s often used for interior walls or modern exterior surfaces where you want flexibility in the finish.
Rendering: Rendering is heavier-duty. It’s a sand and cement mix, laid on thick over block, brick, or concrete. It’s built to take on the outdoors, giving you a solid, weather-resistant finish that stands up to the elements.
We also offer silicone rendering for extra waterproofing and Venetian plastering if you’re after something a bit more premium. Not sure which one fits your place? No worries, we’ll talk you through it and help you land on the right option.

When Do You Need Plastering and Rendering Services?
Not every wall problem needs fixing, but when it does, it pays to spot it early. Here’s how to tell when your place might need plastering or rendering work.
Cracks and Movement
Small cracks often show up over time from settling foundations or weather wear. They might seem minor, but they let in moisture and cause more damage than you’d think. Our team offers proper plastering repair solutions that sort the problem at its core, not just a surface cover-up.
Worn or Patchy Exterior
If your walls are flaking, faded, or uneven, that’s a sign the render or plaster is starting to fail. We can bring it back to life with a full exterior plastering refresh, stronger protection, a better look, and long-term performance.
Moisture Leaks or Damp Patches
Water creeping through your walls is never a good sign. It usually means the outer layer isn’t holding up. We offer damp-proof rendering, including silicone house rendering, to seal things off and keep the inside dry and warm; no mould, no rot, no stress.
The Look Is Outdated
Maybe your place just feels tired from the outside. A fresh render or modern finish can give it a clean, updated feel, whether you’re planning to stay, sell, or just want your home to feel like yours again.
We work with homes across Auckland, Orewa, North Shore, Ponsonby, and more; wherever you are, we’ve got it covered.
Expert Plastering Services
Whether you’re starting fresh or fixing what’s already there, we offer a full range of exterior plastering and rendering services, tailored to suit your home, your style, and your site.
Exterior Plastering
Exterior walls take a beating in New Zealand’s climate. We use strong systems like mesh coat plastering that add durability and water resistance to your home. Our team have years of experience handling outdoor plastering across all types of builds, from modern houses to heritage properties and reinstatement projects.
Using advanced methods such as mesh coat plastering to add an extra layer of durability and water tightness to your home, we ensure a durable and attractive finish. We provide an incredibly thorough external plastering service every time, to leave your property looking sleek and polished.
Plastering and Rendering Services
We’ve been doing this long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Whether you need a clean, smooth look or something with a bit more texture, we’ll match the finish to the feel of your place. Our solid plastering adds strength, helps with insulation, and holds up well in all kinds of weather. If you're dealing with leaks or damp, we can use silicone rendering to seal it off properly. And if you’re after something more polished, we also do Venetian plastering for a finer finish. If the inside needs work too, take a look at our GIB stopping page; we’ve got that covered as well.
West & Sons Construction - The External Plastering Experts
Here’s what sets us apart: the people, the process, and the pride we take in doing things right.
Experienced Plastering Specialists
At West & Sons, plastering isn’t just a skill; it’s part of our family history. We’ve been passed down this expertise for over 100 years, and it still means as much to us today as when we first started out. Our team has handled all sorts of jobs, from small exterior repairs to complex rendering projects for architects, insurers, and private homeowners. We’re proud of the work we do, and we don’t cut corners, no matter the size of the job. If you’re looking for reliable, skilled external plasterers in Auckland, you’ll find them here.
Quality Materials and Techniques
We use materials we trust, not just because they look good, but because they last. Things like mesh coat systems and solid plastering techniques that can handle New Zealand’s rough weather. Whether we’re working on a new build or fixing up an older home, we stick to systems that we know will hold up over time. Good materials, used the right way – that’s how we get results that actually last.
Customised Solutions
Every property’s different. Some need a clean, smooth finish; others need something with more texture. Some need repairs done under tight timelines for insurance claims. That’s why we tailor each job. We’ll take the time to walk you through your options and give you clear advice – no upsells, no confusing jargon. Just straight-up service, shaped around what your place actually needs.
Comprehensive Services
We offer a full range of services, from outside plaster repair and solid plastering to texture work and painting, all under one roof. That means fewer delays, no miscommunication, and one team that handles everything. We work with real estate agents, insurers, and private clients alike, and we know how to get the job done without the stress.
Specialised Plastering Solutions
Cracks, chips, and bubbling plaster aren’t just surface problems; they often point to bigger issues underneath. Left untreated, they can let in moisture, cause damp patches, and slowly eat away at the structure of your home or building.Our outside plaster repair services are designed to fix that properly.
We don’t do quick touch-ups that flake off in a few months. We investigate what’s causing the issue, plan out the repair in detail, and use materials that can actually stand up to New Zealand’s weather. That’s what separates us from the “cheap and fast” crowd; we do it once, and we do it right.
We often get called in by:
Homeowners needing repairs after storm damage
Property managers dealing with long-neglected rentals
Insurance reinstatement jobs where accuracy and quality matter
Whatever the case, our goal is the same: to get your exterior sorted and protected without cutting corners.
Types of External Plastering Techniques We Offer
No one-size-fits-all here. Different builds call for different systems, and we’ve worked across all of them. If you’re after a traditional finish, we offer solid exterior plastering, the kind that gives you that clean, strong, timeless look. Need something more flexible or weatherproof? We also install mesh coat plaster systems, ideal for homes that need a little extra durability, especially in exposed or coastal areas.We’re licensed building practitioners, which means we know how to match the system to the site. And we’ll walk you through the options so you know exactly what you’re getting.
We’re Local All Over
While most of our work happens in Auckland, it doesn’t stop there. A lot of our clients come through word of mouth: someone’s cousin in Orewa, a neighbour’s place in Silverdale, or a friend up in Whangaparāoa. And we’ve grown by doing the kind of work that makes people want to recommend us.
So if you’re outside the city centre, you’re probably still in our zone. We’ve got teams across the North Shore and the Hibiscus Coast, and we’re regularly working in spots like Takapuna, Mount Eden, East Coast Bays, and more.
