CEILING DAMAGE REPAIRS ยท THORNLANDS
Cracks, stains and sagging sheets are more than a cosmetic annoyance. Left alone they tend to spread, and a wet ceiling can eventually come down. SEQ Custom Renovations fixes ceilings and walls across Thornlands, and because we are based just down the road in Redland Bay, getting someone out to look is quick and easy.
A lot of Thornlands has been developed in recent decades, with modern estate homes alongside larger acreage blocks. In newer houses, the frame and slab often settle during the first years, which can open fine cracks along cornices and sheet joints. Acreage homes tend to have bigger roof areas and long gutter runs, so a blocked gutter or tired flashing can send a lot of water into the ceiling during a storm.

why choose us
local considerations
repair or replacement
Not every damaged ceiling needs complete replacement. After inspecting the area, the scope may include plasterboard patching, gyprock repairs, re-fixing loose sheets, crack and joint setting, cornice repair, removal of water-damaged material, partial re-sheeting and preparation for painting. Where moisture is involved, the source should be addressed before damaged ceiling materials are closed up or refinished.
signs to check
cost and timing
The cost and timeframe depend on the size and location of the damaged area, ceiling height, access, the cause of the damage and whether the existing sheets can be repaired or need replacement. Water-damaged areas may also need drying time before plasterboard repairs and finishing can be completed.

faqs
Pricing depends on how far the water has spread, whether the leak has been fixed and how many sheets need replacing. A small stained patch is a modest job, while a soaked room costs more. We quote for free after an inspection.
Glance over your ceilings every season and always after a heavy storm. Look for new cracks at the cornice, discoloured patches or bubbling paint. Catching them early keeps the repair small.
We do. We choose low-VOC setting compounds and paints where possible, and we only replace the plasterboard that genuinely needs it, which keeps waste to a minimum.
The leak comes first. Once the roof or plumbing is fixed and the area has dried out, we cut out the damaged plasterboard, fit new sheets and finish the joints so the repair disappears under paint.
Usually not. Fine cracks along cornices and joints are common as a new house settles in its first years. We can refix and re-set them properly. If cracks are wide, keep growing or come with sticking doors, we will recommend having the structure checked.
