South Auckland Fibrous Ltd

South Auckland Fibrous Plasterers is a New Zealand owned and operated family business

Alan Hitchens and his team provide a high work ethic and top-quality work that has kept South Auckland Fibrous Plasterers (SAFPL) in business for over 40 years. SAFPL home base is Papakura, but we travel all over Auckland and have done jobs further afield.

SAFPL was started by Alan’s parents Don and Margaret Hitchens when they moved from Te Aroha to Auckland settling in Otara. Alan joined the team when he was 23 and learnt the business from his Dad who was a skilled tradesman.

George Naea has been with SAFPL for over 30 years and is a master tradesman in all aspects of plastering and specialising in cornice work.

SAFPL do modern and heritage work, for both commercial and residential projects.

Commercial projects include the Auckland Town Hall, Auckland Art Gallery, and Auckland Museum.

Equally satisfying is restoring/installing a new cornices in customers’ private homes.

With an increase in renovating programmes on TV people realise that they can have beautiful plaster fireplaces, sweeping stairways, feature panels, columns, ceiling batons and infinity walls just to name a few.

We supply, install and stop gib board for residential and commercial, whether it’s a small repair, alteration or new build. Bruce Pulman Stadium in Papakura was a project dressed in gib.

Some of our more unusual projects include a plaster curtain wall at the Nespresso shop in Albany. A decorative plaster door to nowhere at The Nail Barn in Commercial Bay. Decorative mouldings around the large mirrors in the gymnasium at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland.

We are always more than happy to listen to customers' wants and ideas. The options are endless when working with fibrous plaster sheet.
