Professional plasterboard installation and finishing for new builds, renovations, and interior repairs.
Getting a smooth, professional finish starts with how your walls and ceilings are built. AR Plus provides expert Gib fixing and stopping services for homes and commercial buildings — delivering surfaces that are strong, straight, and ready for paint.
Gib fixing is the process of installing plasterboard sheets to walls or ceilings using a combination of adhesives and mechanical fasteners.
Stopping is the finishing process: taping joins, filling screw holes, and sanding the surface to achieve a seamless result.
From residential upgrades to large-scale commercial interiors, AR Plus works across a wide variety of projects and environments.
Homeowners trust us to tidy up interior repairs or fit out new spaces during renovations.
Property managers rely on us for responsive, clean repairs between tenants.
Commercial project managers trust us to keep projects on time and to specification,.
Builders request us whether it’s a single stage build or an entire apartment floor.
We adapt our approach to suit the scale, timeline, and setting, without compromising finish quality.
When done correctly, the surface should be flat, smooth, and visually free from any signs of construction once painted.
Use of larger board sizes (e.g. 2.4m–5.4m) to reduce the number of joins
Screw fixing for strong, precise fastening — superior to old nail-based systems
Moisture-resistant boards are used in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries
Fire-rated plasterboard where required by code (garages, intertenancy walls)
Acoustic-rated plasterboard for commercial interiors or shared walls
Adhesive glues matched to the board type (e.g. stud adhesive, fire-rated adhesive)
Stopping is where the visible finish takes shape. Our team applies the right combination of materials and techniques to get that flawless result. Stopping isn’t just about covering the joins — it’s about preparing the surface for painting, and the difference shows in the finished room.
Taping with either high-quality paper tape (for durability) or mesh tape (for quick set compound work)
Internal corners are hand-creased and filled for clean, crack-resistant results
External corners are finished with metal or plastic angles, filled and sanded for strength and shape
Three-coat system — base coat, second coat, and top coat — with sanding between
Plasterboard fixing and stopping is one of those jobs where the quality of the finish depends entirely on how well the work is done.
We leave behind straight walls, crisp corners, and surfaces that are ready to be finished — because when the groundwork’s done properly, everything else looks better too.
We often replace plasterboard as part of our work following interior mould remediation.
Our finishing team can handle the full interior painting process after stopping is complete.
We also offer skim coating and plaster finishing for critical surfaces.
Not at all — we offer interior painting services and can roll straight into finishing once stopping is dry. It’s a smoother process and reduces the risk of surface damage between trades.
Yes, we work on commercial interiors — offices, retail fit-outs, healthcare, education, and more. We work in line with commercial programme requirements, site access restrictions, and health/safety compliance.
Yes. If mould-affected plasterboard needs to be removed, we can replace it as part of a comprehensive repair package. Learn more about our Mould Testing & Remediation services here.
