About the Business
Welcome to Cochrane & Associates Ltd, located at 84a Kingsley Street in Christchurch, New Zealand. We are an establishment that offers a range of services including general contracting, painting, and more. As a point of interest and store, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service and top-quality workmanship.
When you choose Cochrane & Associates Ltd, you can expect a thorough and detailed quote for your project. Our team, led by Keith or Joanne, will carefully review your plans and provide a comprehensive written quote. It's important to note that our quotes are not estimates, but rather a detailed breakdown of all costs involved. We believe in transparency, so there will be no hidden surprise costs as long as all necessary details are provided.
Once you accept our quote in writing, Tim, our experienced team member, will arrange a site-measure and offer advice on any bracing requirements needed for council inspections. He will also coordinate the delivery and hand unloading of plasterboard to fit your building schedule. We can also arrange steel ceiling battens if you choose that option. Tim will ensure everything is in order for your council pre-stop inspection, if required, before our team of stoppers arrive. If you opt for the GIB®-Cove upgrade, it will be installed before your builder returns to complete the finishing touches, ready for the painters to start their work.
Reade, our dedicated professional, will inspect your house and address any defects or damage to the plasterboard after the stoppers have completed their work. He will thoroughly check the walls, ceilings, and cove to ensure a comprehensive finish. Once the sealer coat has been applied, we can return for a final check or touch-up. As the Maintenance Supervisor, Reade will work closely with your chosen painter and builder to ensure everything is completed to your satisfaction.
At Cochrane & Associates Ltd, our commitment to great service doesn't end there. We will come out and fix any popped screws or general movement issues that may occur during the normal settling period of your house. We understand that settling can cause minor imperfections, and we are here to rectify them for you.
We recommend a Level 4 finish for most projects, as long as all the necessary steps are taken. If you have any doubts or questions, please don't hesitate to ask for advice. We are more than happy to guide you through the process. However, if you require a Level 5 finish, it is important to specify this at the planning stage to ensure building tolerances are met. Achieving a Level 5 finish requires the cooperation of various professionals, including architects, designers, builders, framers, plasterboard fixers, installers, plasterers, and painters. It is a comprehensive process, and while some minor imperfections may still be visible, it will result in a satisfactory standard of finish.
When it comes to painting new plasterboard, we recommend following the three coat system as recommended by the Master Painters Association. Backrolling, which involves using a roller behind the spray gun, is highly recommended for level four or better surfaces. This technique helps achieve a smooth finish. Additionally, the Resene Painting video page is a valuable resource for homeowners and painters alike, providing useful tips and information.
At Cochrane & Associates Ltd, we prioritize the health and safety of everyone working on or visiting our workplace. We take all necessary precautions to ensure a safe environment.
For any inquiries or to discuss your project, please reach out to us at PO Box 35-117, Shirley, Christchurch 8640, Christchurch, New Zealand. We are here to provide excellent service, top-quality workmanship, and expert knowledge to ensure a successful and high-quality plasterboard finish.
