Preserving History with Heritage Plastering across Auckland
Four Generations. 100+ Years of Craftsmanship. Licensed Building Practitioners.
Many of Auckland’s unique heritage buildings were built after European settlement around 1840 and form a unique part of our history and culture. This early architecture makes Auckland home to many unique heritage and character buildings that require careful and delicate restoration. West & Sons Construction have undergone many heritage building plaster repairs and restorations.
Our plaster restoration in Auckland services for heritage buildings combines delicate traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to preserve the integrity of historic properties. We repair plaster damage while maintaining the original charming look and feel, ensuring these buildings continue to tell their historic story for generations to come.
For more than a century, West & Sons Construction has been restoring iconic heritage homes and character buildings across the UK and Auckland. Our plastering skills have been passed down through four generations, preserving traditional techniques that modern trades often don’t learn anymore. As Licensed Building Practitioners, we combine authentic heritage craftsmanship with today’s building standards to deliver restoration work that is structurally sound, historically accurate, and built to last for decades.
Traditional Heritage Plastering Crafted With Authentic Techniques
Our heritage plastering is carried out using similar tried and true methods our family has used for over 100 years. We restore walls, ceilings, façades, and architectural details using traditional hand‑applied techniques that honour the original construction of historic buildings.
Lime Plastering & Breathable Heritage‑Grade Materials
Heritage buildings require materials that allow the structure to breathe and move naturally. We specialise in natural hydraulic lime, roughcast and breathable plaster systems that prevent moisture issues and preserve the integrity of older homes and buildings.
Historical Plaster Restoration Architectural Detail with Decorative Plaster Mouldings, Plaster Banding & Plaster Cornices
From solid plastering ornate cornices, corbels to ceiling roses and hand formed mouldings, we restore or recreate decorative plasterwork with the delicate precision it deserves. Every profile is matched to the original era, ensuring seamless integration with the building’s architectural style.
Heritage Building Repairs & Structural Plaster Remediation
Due to aging and general wear and tear, cracks, delamination, moisture damage, and failing plaster systems are common issues in older buildings. As Licensed Building Practitioners, we diagnose underlying issues and carry out structural‑grade repairs that meet modern compliance, watertightness, all while preserving historical authenticity.
Exterior Heritage Plastering & Façade Restoration

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.
