Day Bros Painting &Plastering -<br />
quality handling for aquality finish<br />
Day Bros Painters and Plasterers has been<br />
serving the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>community for<br />
more than 30 years.<br />
The family business was established by<br />
brothers Graham and Kevin Day back in the<br />
1980s, with Graham’s son Brett joining the<br />
business as ateenager.<br />
Company directors Brett and Jemma took<br />
over in 2005 and now employ nine loyal staff,<br />
including two apprentices, who live locally.<br />
“Wehave managed to retain our staff through<br />
Covid-19 and we are thankful to our loyal clients<br />
that we have been able to do that,” Jemma says.<br />
“Wewere able to go back to work at Alert<br />
Level 3and we followed all government<br />
guidelines whilst doing our best to support our<br />
staff through averydifficult time.<br />
“Wetakehealth and safely veryseriously for<br />
our guys and making sure they have the right<br />
qualifications.”<br />
The couple works in closely with general<br />
manager Davitt Joslen, who has been with the<br />
company for two years, and since the lockdown<br />
have added aprofessional plasterer,Sam van<br />
Hulten,tothe team.<br />
“Painting is the last thing that gets done in a<br />
house, but if the plastering hasn’t been done<br />
right it can ruin the finish, so having control<br />
over the plastering helps us with our quality<br />
control,” Brett says.<br />
Day Bros takes on jobs between Christchurch<br />
and Kaikoura and has done anumber of<br />
insurance and earthquake work in recent years<br />
in the northernpart of the region.<br />
“Brett has worked closely with clients and<br />
insurance companies to make sure clients are<br />
getting what they are entitled to,” Jemma says.<br />
This experience has allowed Brett to see a<br />
gap in the market in helping clients to manage<br />
the overall project, whether that is kitchen or<br />
bathroom make-overs, repair or maintenance<br />
work and building work.<br />
“A lot of clients don’t know where to start,<br />
so we can sit down with them and talk them<br />
through it,” Brett says.<br />
“Weoffer the full package and take the hassle<br />
out of aproject and we deal with other tradies<br />
and contractors so we can arrange<br />
for the work to getdone on<br />
time.”<br />
Major painting projects<br />
completed in recent<br />
years include the<br />
historic Highfield<br />
Woolshed at<br />
Outdoor<br />
Waiau, the Waiau<br />
Community Pool<br />
and churches<br />
at Waiau and<br />
Waikari.<br />
Living<br />
When it comes<br />
to hazardous<br />
substances, the<br />
Day Bros team<br />
works in with<br />
other contractors<br />
who they can call on<br />
for removal of asbestos<br />
and methamphetamine<br />
contamination.<br />

Many landlords<br />
are not aware<br />
that pre-checks<br />
are required<br />
for insurance<br />
purposes for any<br />
future claims for<br />
methamphetamine<br />
contamination, Brett<br />
says.<br />
Day Bros takes on both<br />
commercial and residential<br />
work and can<br />
also do airless<br />
spraying, water blastering, roof<br />
work and floor work, and offers arange of<br />
paint colour options to clients from all the top<br />
paint brands.<br />
‘‘Weare not the cheapest around, but we<br />
can offer advice on different aspects of awork<br />
project if are stuck for ideas and Brett can sit<br />
down and help you with you colour selections,’’<br />
Jemma says.<br />
Day Bros is amember of Master Painters<br />
New Zealand and the team goes out of its way<br />
to ensure they leave awork site clean and tidy.<br />
‘‘Wepride ourselves on that,’’ Brett adds.<br />
‘‘And we take special care of people’s property<br />
and especially their gardens.”<br />
