How We Chose The Best Drywalls in Auckland
1. A5 Interior Linings
We recently had A5 Interior Linings come out for an undercover estimate, and the best part? It was totally free!
We chatted with some of their past clients, and they raved about how A5 kept the lines of communication open throughout their projects. Those constant updates really made everything hassle-free for them.
Another bonus? They handle everything from fixing to painting. This makes projects so much easier because you won’t have to juggle multiple contractors.
The team at A5 is super seasoned and professional. We checked out their portfolio, and you can really see their experience shining through in their work. They get projects done on time, and the quality is definitely top-tier.
Sure, their prices might be a bit on the pricey side, but we think it’s all worth it given their craftsmanship and solid reputation.
Their team really satisfied our requests
“I needed a project completed quickly and to a high standard. Basir promptly quoted (good fair pricing), and made sure his team completed to our satisfaction. Great company, highly recommended.”

The craftsmanship is immaculate
“A5 Interior have done an incredible job throughout my home. The craftsmanship is immaculate, communication is always clear and concise. Constantly updated with the progress of the project which has been completed in record time. Such a great team, couldn’t recommend them enough! See before and after pictures.

2. HBS Interior Lining
I recently teamed up with HBS Interior Linings for some drywall installation on a property I’ve been managing. I appreciate that they showed up right on time. Their professionalism also made the whole process feel so much smoother.
What really caught my attention was their planning approach. They took the time to thoroughly assess my space before diving in, which made a world of difference. That thoughtful planning paid off big time—everything fit perfectly, both in function and design.
And here’s the best part: they offered to supply all the materials needed! This took a huge weight off my shoulders. I didn’t have to worry about sourcing anything; they handled it all, and it was all included in the cost.
The walls they put up not only do their job but look absolutely fantastic—way better than I expected!
If I had to nitpick, I’d say I wish they could’ve been a bit more responsive to some of my earlier phone calls when I was trying to book an estimate. It was a little tricky getting that sorted, but in the end, it all turned out great.
So professional and great at communicating
“Incredible job! So professional and great at communicating. They provided everything, including new skirting and scotia where required, and took care of all removal and clean up. The finish was so beautiful, and this team clearly takes a lot of pride in their work. We will be using them for all of our interior work and highly recommend their services! We are so happy – especially for such a reasonable price.”

We highly recommend them and want to use their services next time
“HBS team did the whole interior fit-out job for us they are really good experts and professionals on time and reliable. They supplied plaster boards installed finishing and did a really great interior painting job. Our kids really like the paint they suggested to us. We highly recommend them and want to use their services next time. Thank you Mohammad for your hard work. really enjoyed the time we spent and knew much about interior works.”

3. Elephant Plasterboard
Elephant Plasterboard is known for its solid range of plasterboard products, but you know what’s even better? They also offer an installation service!
One of our researchers recently needed some drywall installed, and let’s just say he got to kick back and relax while the pros took care of everything.
What really stood out to us was how they walked him through their options. They’ve got moisture-resistant boards like the AquaSmart, fire-resistant ones like FireSmart, and even the versatile MultiSmart boards.
After chatting with our researcher and checking out the space, they recommended the MultiSmart board. This turned out to be perfect for noise control and impact resistance.
We also love the fact that their products meet or exceed AS/NZS 2588 standards, so you know you’re getting top-quality stuff that’s built to last and meets New Zealand’s building codes.
That said, we did hear from one of their former clients that they had a bit of trouble with delivery delays. Something to keep in mind if you’re working on a tight timeline!
Absolutely brilliant staff and service
“Absolutely brilliant staff and service, especially compared to other competitors under current very difficult situation. They continued to listen to us and make it work!!”
David Gao, Google review
Such a delight working with them
“Amazing service, spoke and dealt with Donna who was a delight to work with.”

4. The Wall Surgeon
What really gets clients talking about The Wall Surgeon is their solid dedication to quality. Almost everyone we spoke to emphasized the precision and attention to detail their team brings to every project.
One client even shared how she was initially worried about the project, but the team made sure to reassure her that she could trust them. They’re pretty transparent with costs and regularly update you on how things are going, which helps keep any stress in check.
Another big plus? They stick to the timeline. People love that they’re reliable and get the job done when they say they will.
And it’s not just about drywall installation—they’re also pros at wall and ceiling repairs. They can even handle tricky issues like water damage or structural problems, which really sets them apart.
That being said, not every story is perfect. One former client mentioned that they left her bathroom in a bit of a mess, and she had to clean up after them.
Professional great job, good value for money
“Awesome job with my plastering work on time, professional great job, good value for money, and would definitely recommend contacting Brendan for any plastering work you need doing.”
Leanne Rhodes, Google review
I was very happy with the awesome service I received
“I would highly recommend Brendan for any plastering work you need doing. He went over and above to help me and I was very happy with the awesome service I received.”

5. Wall Doctor
We couldn’t resist taking advantage of Wall Doctor’s free consultation—how could we pass up the chance to see them in action?
They handle drywall installations for both homes and commercial spaces, and something we really loved was their soundproofing options. If you’re trying to keep the peace between rooms, it’s a nice touch.
We also loved how they cover pretty much everything. We chatted with a client who had a textured ceiling that needed some TLC, and she was thrilled with how they restored her stucco finish. Plus, they also offer painting services, baseboards, and trim!
One thing that came up in our chats with previous clients is how careful they are about keeping your space clean. They always cover the furniture and floors to minimize the mess—definitely a plus!
Just a heads up, though, their prices can be a bit on the higher side. But hey, with our experience with them and client interviews, it’s totally worth it.
Couldn’t ask for better service and work
“Stu was fantastic, really happy with the job he did on our bathroom ceiling. Super professional, full of knowledge, no mucking around, immaculate finish. Couldn’t ask for better service and work. Would highly recommend and will be using again in the future if we need it.”
