Types of plastering installations
New wall and ceiling surface installations
Whether it’s for residential or commercial use, new buildings all need plaster installation to the ceiling and walls. It is very important to have this foundation done professionally with top quality materials to save money repairing and replacing it in the future.
Water damage repairs
Water leaks in the ceiling or walls can lead to discolouration and marks on the surface, and if left untreated can cause mould build-up and even weakening of the structure itself. Once the broken pipe is repaired, an expert plasterer can come in to dry the area properly, then install new gyprock plaster to replace the damaged sections.
Repairing cracks in ceilings, wall joints and cornice installations
Over time, cracks may appear in the original plaster on a ceiling or wall. Many older buildings with decorative cornices can get fine cracks or crumbly damage to them, not to mention indentations and even holes from kids playing inside the house. That’s where a professional plasterer comes in to repair the damage.

Some of the less common reasons can include cornice installation, soundproof plasterboard fittings and plastering for fancy, decorative panels.

How to choose the right plastering professional
Experience and expertise
When you are looking online for companies that provide plastering services, identify which ones have been in business for a long time and the types of services they offer. If this information isn’t mentioned on their site, call them and ask them about their experience in the field. Check their portfolio to get a better idea about their body of work and expertise in plastering.
Reputation
This aspect goes hand-in-hand with the experience factor. Identify what kind of projects the plastering professional has worked on; read online reviews and customer testimonials for the company. This will give you a fair idea about their expertise and the level of service they provide.
Insurance and license
Find out whether the company is licensed and insured. A licensed professional will ensure the work is completed in line with Australian Standards. Also, a credible plastering company will always provide guarantees for their work and this means they will focus on doing the job correctly the first time around.
