All Black Fern
Plastering done properly. Thirty-six years on the trowel, and a finish you would never know was a repair.
The wall should look like nothing ever happened.
All Black Fern is Richard, a plasterer by trade who has spent thirty-six years getting walls and ceilings right. Interior, exterior, new builds and the fiddly repairs other people walk away from.
He is a specialist in cracked walls and ceilings, and he will tell you straight what a job needs. Most of the reviews below say the same two things: the finish is beautiful, and he turned up fast and got it done.
Services
From a single cracked ceiling to a full commercial fit-out, plastered to a standard you can paint straight over.
Interior & Exterior Plastering
Walls and ceilings inside and out, finished smooth and flat the first time. New work or making good after a renovation.
Stopping & Skimming
GIB and plasterboard stopping, plus a skim coat over old or tired walls so they take paint like new.
Crack & Hole Repair
Richard's specialty: cracked walls and ceilings, patches and holes filled so well the wall looks like nothing ever happened.
Fixing & Coving
Plasterboard fixing and cornice coving for a clean, traditional line where the wall meets the ceiling.
Solid Plaster & Render
Exterior solid plaster and render repair, matched to the existing texture so the patch disappears into the wall.
Commercial Fit-outs
Offices and commercial spaces stopped and finished on time, around your trades and your deadlines.
Walls he has finished.
Real jobs around the Hutt Valley and Wellington, from inner-city offices to garden fireplaces and bathroom renos.
What people say about Richard.
Very happy with the work Richard did for us. A great price, great quality and much faster than others had quoted. I called Richard and the next day he came over, got to work and completed all the plastering work! He is also a joy to have around.
Amazing communication, he got back to me within an hour and because it was a small job finished the same day. Great value, and beautiful quality. Also very patient and kind with my 3 yr old running around. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Richard was very professional and prompt. The job was patching a medium size hole in a wall and Richard did an amazing job. The wall patch is like there was never a hole! The price was very reasonable and the outcome was top notch. Couldn't recommend him more!
Richard would have to be the very best plasterer we have ever used. His workmanship is second to none and he just gets in there and does it. Highly recommend and would not look elsewhere if we required more plastering work to be done.
Richard did a great job with the plastering! The finish looks amazing, and he was such a nice person to have around. He was on time, super friendly, and made sure everything was cleaned up before he left. I would definitely recommend him.
Hi, I'm Richard.
I'm a plasterer by trade and I have been plastering for thirty-six years. I specialise in interior and exterior plastering, and I can solve any cracks issue you throw at me.
All Black Fern is a small outfit on purpose. You deal with me from the quote to the last clean-up, so the standard never slips and nothing gets lost in the handover. I work across Lower Hutt, the Hutt Valley and the wider Wellington region, on homes and commercial jobs alike.
"Guaranteed excellent quality workmanship." It is on the card, and it is the whole job.
