If Your House Is Older
- Suspect fibre-cement or old boards should be checked before anyone cuts into them, in case of asbestos.
- High ceilings need scaffolding or tall trestles, which adds to the price.
- Patches on old, uneven ceilings show unless the whole ceiling is skimmed or repainted.
Renovations and Upgrades
- Estate rules on access times and contractor registration apply. Tell contractors when they quote.
- Bulkheads, feature ceilings and LED lighting are common upgrades. Plan wiring with a registered electrician before boarding.
- Cracks along board joints in newer homes are usually from settling or untaped joints, and are a straightforward repair.
Sagging or bulging ceiling? Keep people and furniture clear of it, do not push or pierce it, and do not use light fittings in a wet ceiling. Switch off that circuit at the distribution board if it is safe to reach. Then arrange a professional assessment.
