Auckland Weather Event Update

Thursday, 2 February 2023
By Siobhan Page

We are pleased to share that Winstone Wallboards GIB® Plasterboard manufacturing and distribution facilities have not been affected by the recent weather events in Auckland, allowing us to continue to meet our current allocation capacity.

While we navigate the ongoing interruptions of the recent Auckland weather, we appreciate your patience, and reinforce that we are here to help as best we can in these circumstances.

Our distribution centre and delivered to site teams will be in touch with the site contact to confirm deliveries, notify of possible delays and work with you to reschedule if necessary.

Should you have insight to potential disruptions and need to ‘rain check’ delivery, we encourage you to please reach out to your merchant in an effort to mitigate negative impact.

With recent widespread flooding there will be many houses that need correct assessment of the damage and how to remediate that damage. The below articles are designed for all instances of flooding, with the Auckland flooding event we suggest this water is classified as 'contaminated' and all plasterboard be replaced as outlined in GIB® Best Practice Series: Replacing Water Damaged Board.

We have a team of Technical Advisors available to help with any further information - please call the GIB® helpline on 0800 100 442.
