What We Do

Construction Brickwork And Plastering That Lasts

Brickwork is the part of a build you cannot go back and fix cheaply. Walls that are out of plumb, poorly tied or badly pointed cause cracking, damp and finishing problems for years afterwards, so we treat this stage as the one that decides how the rest of the project goes.

I.B.S Construction lays and plasters for new builds, extensions, boundary walls and repair work across Cape Town. We work to line and level, tie into existing structures properly, and leave a plastered surface that is genuinely ready for skimming or painting.

Our Approach

Why Choose I.B.S Construction

Built To Line And Level

Walls are set out and checked as they go up, not corrected afterwards with thick plaster.

We Find The Cause First

Recurring cracks and damp get diagnosed before we re-plaster, so the repair actually holds.

Finished Ready For The Next Trade

Our plaster is left true and clean so skimming, tiling or painting can start without remedial work.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair cracked or damp-damaged plaster?

Yes. We remove the failed plaster, establish why it failed, deal with the cause where we can, and re-plaster. Simply skimming over a damp or structural crack will not last.

Do you build boundary and garden walls?

Yes, including foundations, piers and capping. We can also tie a new wall into existing brickwork so it does not read as an obvious addition.

How long before plaster can be painted?

Fresh plaster needs to dry out properly before painting, and the time depends on thickness, weather and ventilation. We will tell you what to allow for your specific job.

Do you handle the skimming and painting too?

Yes. Skimming, tiling and interior and exterior painting are all done by our own teams, so the whole wall can be finished by one company.
