Practical Plaster Advice for McDowall Properties
A lot of McDowall homes are brick-and-tile builds from the seventies and eighties. Over time, original ceiling battens warp and glue gives out, causing sheets to sag. When opening up rooms or fixing old ceilings here, we check the timber framing, fit metal battens where things are out of line, and back-block the joins so movement and humidity don't crack the joints down the track.

Residential plastering
From knocking out walls for open living to patching up water leaks and bathroom refits, we get the sheets straight and the joins flat. We use three coats of compound on joins and bed internal and external angles tight so walls hold up well to everyday family living.

We build suspended ceilings, acoustic walls, and fire-rated walls for shops, offices, and clinics. For fire and acoustic jobs, ratings rely on the designed system, and we install strictly to the manufacturer specifications and site plans.
Learn more →Ceiling installation & replacement
If a roof leak has ruined a ceiling or an older room has started to drop, we can patch it or pull it down and start fresh. We pack out uneven joists, screw off new plasterboard sheets, and hand-trowel the joins flat so you don't catch shadows under natural light.

McDowall plastering FAQs
How do you treat water-damaged ceilings before replastering?
First make sure the roof leak is fixed and the framing has dried out. We cut out the water-stained or sagging plasterboard back to solid timber, inspect the joists, and screw in new board. Then we tape, apply three coats of mud, and sand it flush.
Can you install bulkheads to hide ducted air conditioning ducts?
Yes. We frame up timber or steel stud bulkheads around ductwork, pipework, or beams, sheet them with plasterboard, and fit metal corner beads for straight edges that tie into the room.
