Why GIB® Stopping Shouldn’t Be a DIY Project
GIB® stopping is a highly technical process that requires precision, the right materials, and expert techniques to achieve a flawless finish. While it may seem simple at first glance, attempting to do it yourself often leads to costly mistakes that can compromise the look and durability of your walls and ceilings.
We have seen many DIY disasters that resulted in costly rework. Poor DIY stopping often leads to visible seams, uneven surfaces, or improperly applied joint compounds that crack or peel over time.
For example, improperly feathering the edges of plaster compound can leave ridges that become glaringly obvious once painted. Similarly, skipping essential steps like applying joint tape can cause seams to separate and crack, requiring a complete redo of the job. In some cases, we’ve seen DIY attempts where excessive sanding has damaged the plasterboard, leading to replacement costs that far exceed the price of hiring a professional in the first place.
We are professional GIB® stoppers who use specialised tools to get the job done right the first time. We know how to apply the correct amount of compound in multiple layers and ensure it has adequate time to dry properly.
So don’t take chances—leave GIB® stopping to the experts!
We Can Re-Stop Walls That
Were Poorly Done
Poorly executed GIB® stopping can cause cracks and peeling and compromise the overall appearance of your walls. We’ve encountered walls with excessive joint compound that creates noticeable ridges, insufficient sanding that leaves rough patches, and even skipped steps like failing to apply joint tape, leading to seams splitting apart over time. These mistakes not only ruin the final finish but also create additional costs and delays when a rework is required.
At Above Board, we specialise in re-stopping walls to restore their smooth, seamless appearance. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of the affected areas to identify issues like uneven compound layers, poorly taped seams, or improperly sanded surfaces. We carefully remove or correct problem areas, then apply precise layers of compound with the right drying time to ensure durability. Using advanced sanding techniques, we achieve a flawless finish ready for painting or decorating.
You’ll be proud of our work as we eliminate the frustration of poorly executed jobs.
