Plastering Heritage Cottages and Character Homes
Old timber frames settle over time, leaving uneven studs and crooked corners. When fixing plasterboard over old framing or cracked lath, we use metal furring channels and packing to take out low spots and avoid wavy walls. We set joints properly to handle normal building movement, leaving flat, paint-ready surfaces that work with the age of the house.

Residential plastering
Renovating an inner-city cottage or townhouse brings its own challenges. We handle full room re-sheeting, clean square-set finishes, and patch repairs. Where sound dampening is needed, we install acoustic plasterboard systems strictly to the manufacturer's specified design.

We line local offices, shops, and studios with suspended grid ceilings, feature bulkheads, and durable partition walls. We keep the site tidy, work cleanly in tight street frontages, and keep jobs moving without cutting corners.
Learn more →Ceiling installation & replacement
Old ceilings sag over time, and Brisbane storm season can expose roof leaks fast. We pull down damaged sheets or horsehair plaster, check that overhead battens are level, and re-sheet with fresh plasterboard. Where damp areas are an issue, we fit water-resistant board and set the joints flush.

Petrie Terrace plastering FAQs
Can plasterboard be installed over uneven timber framing in older cottages?
Yes. Instead of screwing sheets directly to crooked studs, we install metal furring channels with packers. This flattens out the wall plane so you end up with straight, solid walls ready for paint.
How do you handle water-damaged lath or plasterboard ceilings?
We cut back damaged sections to sound timber, inspect the battens, and screw in new plasterboard. Joins are taped and set flush with existing surfaces so painters can roll straight over them.
