Older Homes
- Matching an old cornice profile or a textured finish takes more time than a modern flat ceiling.
- Older ceilings may have loose brandering, sagging boards or several layers of paint. Repairs can turn into partial replacement once boards come down.
- Fibre-cement boards in older buildings can contain asbestos. Do not break or sand suspect boards; asbestos work needs a registered contractor.
Flats and Sectional Title
- Many buildings need contractor names, lift bookings and set working hours. Tell contractors when they quote.
- Roofs, outside walls and most leaks from the unit above fall under the body corporate or managing agent, so report them there first.
- Damage inside your unit is usually yours to fix once the cause is sorted. Check your scheme rules and insurance.
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.
