Someone searching for a plasterer is usually dealing with a wall that has failed — a crack, a damp patch, an old re-plaster gone wrong — or is partway through a new build and needs the external plaster done to schedule. Your website’s job is to look like a real, licensed business fast. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.
“Plasterer [town] quote”, “re-plaster exterior wall”, “interior plaster repair”: some of this is urgent (a crack that is letting water in), and some of it is scheduled months ahead as part of a build. Both kinds of searcher are checking the same thing first — whether you look like you actually do this for a living.
That changes what the website is for. It is there so that in the first few seconds someone sees a real, current business: your licence, the areas you cover, and evidence of finished work, not a design award.
External Plastering is one of the seven license classes under the Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP) scheme, part of the Building Act 2004. Restricted building work — which covers most external plastering on a home — generally has to be carried out or supervised by someone licensed in that class. It is not a marketing claim; the register is public, and anyone can look you up on it.
Most people hiring a plasterer have no way to tell a licensed tradesperson from someone who is not. Putting your LBP number on your own website, rather than leaving people to take your word for it, removes that doubt before they ever pick up the phone.
Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.
It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.
The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.
If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of plasterers they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.
We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.
If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, It matters even more for a plasterer than for most trades, because external plastering is restricted building work and the LBP number is the one fact that actually proves you are allowed to do it. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.
Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.
Yes. External Plastering is one of the seven Licensed Building Practitioner classes, and most external plastering on a home counts as restricted building work. Showing your LBP number, rather than leaving people to take your word for it, is one of the fastest ways to look legitimate to someone who has never used you before.
Your LBP class and number, the towns you cover, a phone number that gets answered, and photos of finished walls. Evidence beats a paragraph about your company history.
Yes. External plastering, solid plastering, and texture or EIFS coating sit close enough together in how people search and decide that the same page structure works for all of them.
For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.
Not a plasterer? See the same approach for plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, scaffolders, fencing contractors, gardeners and lawn care businesses, handyman businesses, tilers, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, pest control businesses, locksmiths and glaziers.
Based in a main centre? See the same approach for businesses in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, or see every trade and city.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
