Cyclone Gabrielle Supply Update

Tuesday, 14 February 2023
By Siobhan Page

Due to the likely effects of Cyclone Gabrielle there may be some disruption to scheduled Auckland and Upper North Island deliveries of GIB® plasterboard and accessory products over the coming days and we ask for your patience while we work through this.

Winstone Wallboards technical support and customer services will continue to operation and are available to help if you require it. For further information please call the GIB® Helpline on 0800 100 442.

For customers who have a GIB® Deliver to Site (DTS) or Freight Into Store (FIS) order which is unable to be delivered during this time, Winstone Wallboard's will be in contact in due course to arrange an alternative delivery date.

Should you have insight to potential disruptions and need to ‘rain check’ delivery, we encourage you to please reach out to your Winstone Wallboards representative or local merchant to help mitigate any delivery issues.

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.
