Ceiling Repair Services
Here’s our full ceiling repair rundown, water damage, sagging plaster, cracks, or a full gyprock replacement, each one gets the right fix, done properly.
Brisbane storms and roof leaks do a lot of damage to plaster ceilings. We find where the water’s coming from, cut out the affected section, and replace it so it blends in with the rest of the ceiling. If you’re going through insurance, we can deal with your insurer directly.
Old glue, humidity, and cheap fixings are the usual causes of a sagging ceiling in Brisbane homes. We re-secure the plasterboard properly rather than just patching over the problem, so it doesn’t sag again in six months.
Cracks from house movement, holes from light fittings or accidental knocks, we patch, sand and finish these so you can’t tell there was ever a problem.
Whether it’s one damaged sheet or a full section, we match the existing texture and joint the new plasterboard in properly so there’s no visible seam once it’s painted.
Ceiling damage doesn’t always show up straight away, and it rarely fixes itself. Here’s what to look out for:
If you’re seeing any of this, get it looked at before it gets worse. A small patch job now is a lot cheaper than a full re-sheet later.
Some damage is too far gone for a patch repair, widespread water damage, old sheeting past its life, or a ceiling that’s sagged in multiple spots. In these cases we strip the damaged sheeting out and install a new ceiling from scratch, similar to the renovation plastering work we do across older Brisbane homes.
We’ll always try to repair before we recommend a replacement, it’s cheaper and less disruptive for you. If the damage is contained to one area, a repair usually does the job. If more than one section is sagging, the plasterboard’s soaked through, or the ceiling’s reached the end of its life, we’ll tell you straight and explain why replacement is the better option long term.
