Repair or Replace?
Does your ceiling need repairing or replacing?
Small cracks, holes and localised damage can often be repaired without replacing the complete ceiling.
Where plasterboard is badly sagging, loose, water damaged or deteriorated across a larger area, partial or complete replacement may provide a more reliable result.
We can inspect the ceiling, assess the condition of the surrounding plaster and explain the practical options before work begins.
Water Damage
Repairing water-damaged ceilings.
Roof leaks, plumbing failures and other moisture problems can weaken plasterboard and cause staining, swelling, sagging or sections of ceiling to fail.
Before plaster repairs begin, the original water source should be identified and rectified. Once the area is dry, we can assess whether the damaged plaster can be repaired or needs replacing.
Localised damage may only require a section of plasterboard to be replaced, while more extensive water damage can require a larger ceiling replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ceiling repair questions.
Can you repair cracks in ceilings?
Yes. We repair cracks in plasterboard and older ceiling systems. The repair method depends on the cause of the cracking and the condition of the surrounding ceiling.
Can a sagging ceiling be repaired?
In many cases, yes. The ceiling first needs to be assessed to determine why it is sagging and whether the existing plasterboard can be secured or whether sections should be replaced.
Do you repair water-damaged ceilings?
Yes, provided the source of the water leak or moisture issue has already been repaired. Damaged plaster may then be patched, partially replaced or completely replaced depending on its condition.
Can you repair ceilings after electrical or plumbing work?
Yes. We regularly repair holes and damaged sections left after downlights, electrical work, plumbing repairs and other building services.
When does a ceiling need replacing instead of repairing?
Replacement may be more appropriate where plasterboard is badly sagging, water damaged, loose over a large area or affected by widespread deterioration. We can assess the area and recommend a practical approach.
