Yiannis Plastering
ABOUT US
Yiannis Plastering is a business that you could say is 36 years in the making. My name is Kristos Tsitsiridakis, and my father, Yiannis came to New Zealand from Greece with the promise of a bright future in a little country. Upon arrival he took anything he could, and landed on plastering. His background in hospitality and tourism gave him a great way to talk with anyone, and he was one of the hardest workers I knew or saw, even to this day. As much as I would like to claim it, our tagline was an idea of his own, and one I always loved.
From the age of 12, Dad took me to work with him too learn the ways of plastering. Over the years he taught me the job, and the more I worked the better my skills became. Learning how to patch up almost any hole or mistake, whether that be from the painter, builder, sparkie or home owner themselves. Learning the art of coving, of skimming and of course of sanding, there was no job too big or small for us.
Working the most in my teenage and early 20s, I learnt and earnt, with plastering having ups and downs as any business does. Over the years I would help my father with plastering where I could. Unfortunately, he passed away at the end of 2023, and with changes going on in my life I decided that I would re ignite the business in his honor, and thus Yiannis Plastering was born. Right now there is only myself, and our loyal colleague Steve - he started working with dad from day 1, at the age of 15. Our experience combine with our attention to detail ensures that things are left even better than before.
Whether its a new home, a reno, a touch up, a patch up, a cover up - even a fix up, there is almost nothing we cannot fix! Good plasterers are hard to find, and great plasterer's are even harder. Talk to someone you can trust, a local who knows the job, the people and the area
