Frequently Asked Questions
Can ceiling work be done after hours?
Many commercial contractors work nights or weekends. Expect it to cost more, and confirm this on the quote.
Who approves ceiling work in a rented building?
Usually the landlord or building manager, under the lease's fit-out rules. Get approval before work starts.
Can damaged tiles be replaced without a full new ceiling?
Yes, if matching tiles are available and the grid is sound.
Do you handle sectional-title ceiling repairs?
Contractors quote for body corporates and managing agents, who usually appoint them for common-property repairs.
