Ceiling repairs across the Perth metro area

We cover the whole metro area, north to Butler and Two Rocks, south to Mandurah, east to Midland, Ellenbrook and the hills. The pages below are not a list of suburbs for the sake of it: each one talks about the houses actually built there and the ceiling problems those houses produce.

Inner city

Perth CBD

Ceilings in the city centre are rarely a simple domestic job. Apartment towers, converted heritage buildings and tenanted offices all bring access rules, strata approvals and neighbours above and below. We work around all of that, from a single stained bedroom ceiling in an East Perth unit to a suspended grid across an open-plan office floor.

Inner south-east

Victoria Park

Victoria Park is one of those suburbs where the ceiling tells you the age of the house before you see the front door. Federation and inter-war homes with decorative cornice and ceiling roses sit next to 1960s unit blocks and brand-new infill townhouses, and each one fails in its own way.

Inner south

South Perth

From the apartment towers along Mill Point Road to the brick-and-tile streets behind Angelo Street, South Perth ceilings cover every era of Perth building. We repair and replace all of them, and we are used to the strata paperwork that comes with the riverside end of the suburb.

Western suburbs

Subiaco

Subiaco's streets of Federation and Edwardian homes have some of the oldest ceilings still in daily use in Perth. Lath and plaster, early fibrous plaster, deep run cornices and ceiling roses that have outlasted several owners. Repairing them properly takes patience and a feel for the original work, which is what we bring.

Inner north

Mount Lawley

Mount Lawley is Perth's showcase for Federation and Californian bungalow architecture, and the ceilings inside those homes are part of what makes them worth owning. High fibrous plaster, ornate cornice, big ceiling roses. We repair them in a way that respects the original work and does not leave an obvious patch.

Eastern suburbs

Midland

Midland has been a working town for over a century, and its housing reflects that: railway-era cottages, post-war brick and fibro, and the newer homes and apartments that have filled the old workshops precinct. We repair ceilings across all of it, from a sagging lounge in an older rental to a water-stained bedroom in a new build.

Swan Valley

Ellenbrook

Ellenbrook was built almost entirely from the mid-1990s onward, so its ceilings are plasterboard rather than plasterglass, and the problems are modern ones: cracked sheet joins, condensate leaks from ducted air conditioning, and big open-plan spans that have started to sag. We fix all of them and we know the construction well.

Perth Hills

Kalamunda

Hills homes have a harder life than suburban ones. Heavy tree cover, winter rain that arrives sideways, gutters full of leaves and roofs that are hard to reach all mean more water finds its way into Kalamunda ceilings than almost anywhere else in Perth. We repair the damage once the roof is sorted, and we are used to steep driveways and awkward access.

South-east suburbs

Cannington

Cannington is classic 1960s and 1970s Perth brick-and-tile, and the plasterglass ceilings in those homes are now at the age where they let go. Sagging lounges, cracks across bedrooms and cornice gaps are what we get called out for most, along with the units and rentals that make up a big share of the suburb.

Gosnells

Gosnells and its surrounding suburbs were built out across the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and the ceilings in those brick-and-tile homes are now failing in predictable ways. We re-fix sagging plasterglass, repair water and termite damage, and replace ceilings that are past saving, across Gosnells, Maddington, Thornlie, Huntingdale and the foothills.

Canning Vale

Canning Vale is a suburb of big houses on modest blocks, nearly all built between the mid 1990s and the 2010s with plasterboard ceilings over long open-plan rooms. When those ceilings crack, sag or stain it is rarely dramatic, but it is very visible under the downlights. We repair and replace plasterboard ceilings across Canning Vale and the surrounding estates.

Northern suburbs

Joondalup

Joondalup was laid out as a planned city centre in the late 1980s and most of its housing went up in the two decades after. That means plasterboard ceilings on timber or steel framing, long open-plan spans and raked ceilings over living areas. We repair the cracks, sags and water damage those ceilings develop, and replace them when patching is no longer worth it.

Wanneroo

Wanneroo is two places in one. The old townsite around Wanneroo Road has 1960s to 1980s brick-and-tile homes with original plaster ceilings, while the estates spreading east toward the lake and north toward Carramar are plasterboard builds from the last twenty-five years. We repair both, and we know which failures to look for in each.

Stirling

Stirling and the suburbs around it were built mostly in the 1960s and 1970s, and that era means plaster-set ceilings: plasterglass sheets glued and strapped to timber joists, finished with cove or decorative cornice. Fifty years on, the glue has dried out and these ceilings are sagging, cracking and in some cases coming down. We re-fix and restore them, and replace them when that is the better call.

Balcatta

Balcatta is one of the suburbs that defined post-war Perth building: solid brick-and-tile homes from the 1960s and 1970s, many built by the Italian tradesmen who settled here, with plasterglass ceilings and decorative cornice throughout. It also has one of the larger light industrial areas north of the river. We repair ceilings in both.

Northern coast

Clarkson

Clarkson grew fast through the 1990s and 2000s along the rail corridor, and nearly every home here has plasterboard ceilings on timber trusses. The usual calls are cracked joins over open-plan living areas, ceilings that have dropped where the fixings have crept, and water damage from roof-space air-conditioning. All of it is repairable, and we do a lot of it here.

Butler

Butler is one of the youngest suburbs we work in, built out through the 2000s and 2010s around the Brighton estate and the new rail station. Young does not mean trouble is years away. Lightweight framing, thin plasterboard and long open-plan spans mean join cracks and dropped sheets show up well within the first fifteen years, and we fix them properly rather than filling and hoping.

Hillarys

Hillarys sits right on the coast between Sorrento and the boat harbour, and the salt air and winter storms shape what goes wrong with ceilings here. The original 1970s and 1980s brick-and-tile homes are at the age where plaster ceilings drop and roofs leak, while the newer two-storey rebuilds and apartments near the marina bring plasterboard problems of their own.

Scarborough

Scarborough takes the full force of the weather off the Indian Ocean, and its ceilings show it. From the 1960s and 1970s brick-and-tile homes on the hill behind the beach to the apartment towers and two-storey rebuilds along the esplanade, we repair water damage, sagging plaster and cracked plasterboard across the suburb.

North-east suburbs

Morley

Morley is prime territory for sagging ceilings. The suburb filled out in the 1960s and 1970s with brick-and-tile homes on quarter-acre blocks, nearly all with plasterglass ceilings fixed to timber joists, and those ceilings are now at the end of the life of their original strapping. We re-fix and restore them every week, and we replace the ones that have been wet or are too far gone.

Bayswater

Bayswater runs from the older streets near the train line and the river flats up to the 1960s and 1970s brick-and-tile blocks toward Morley. The character homes have ornate cornice and ceiling roses worth keeping, the post-war homes have plasterglass ceilings that are sagging, and the low ground near the Swan brings moisture that older ceilings do not like. We repair all of it.

Port city & heritage precinct

Fremantle

Fremantle ceilings are some of the oldest still hanging in Perth. Limestone cottages, Federation terraces and inter-war bungalows carry original plaster that has been up there for a century, and it tends to come down in its own time rather than yours. We repair and replace ceilings across Freo with the original detail kept wherever it can be.

South-west suburbs

Cockburn

The suburbs around Cockburn Central went up fast and went up big. Open-plan living areas with long plasterboard spans, raked ceilings and ducted aircon in the roof are the norm, and each of those brings its own way of failing. We fix plasterboard ceilings across Success, Atwell, Hammond Park, Aubin Grove and the older pockets of Spearwood and Coolbellup.

Southern river suburbs

Melville

Melville and its river-facing neighbours were built in a hurry through the 1960s and 1970s, and the ceilings went up with the glue and fixing methods of the day. Fifty years on, those methods are showing their age. We spend a lot of time in Melville roof spaces re-strapping plasterglass ceilings that have dropped and replacing the ones that have gone too far.

Booragoon

Booragoon is the kind of suburb where a house looks immaculate from the street and the ceiling in the back family room has quietly dropped two centimetres. The 1960s and 1970s brick-and-tile homes here are well kept and well loved, and their plasterglass ceilings are now at the age where the strapping needs attention. We re-fix, repair and replace ceilings across Booragoon, Ardross, Brentwood and Mount Pleasant.

South-east corridor & foothills

Armadale

Armadale sits where the Perth plain runs into the Darling Scarp, and the housing covers every era from 1950s weatherboard and fibro to brand-new estates in Haynes and Hilbert. That mix means we see every kind of ceiling failure in a single week here, from collapsed plasterglass in an old rental to join cracks in a two-year-old build. We repair and replace ceilings across the whole City of Armadale.

South-west industrial & coastal

Kwinana

Kwinana was built for the refinery workforce in the 1950s and 1960s, and a lot of that original housing is still standing with its original ceilings. Add the newer estates of Bertram, Wellard and Wandi and you have a mix of fibrous plaster that is sixty years old and plasterboard that is six. We repair and replace ceilings across the City of Kwinana.

South-west coast

Rockingham

Rockingham ceilings live with the ocean. Salt air, winter storms coming straight off the water and summers of sea-breeze humidity all work on the fixings, the plaster and the roof above it. From the 1970s brick-and-tile homes of Safety Bay and Shoalwater to the newer estates of Warnbro and Secret Harbour, we repair and replace ceilings across the whole Rockingham coast.

South-west growth corridor

Baldivis

Baldivis went from paddocks to one of the fastest-built suburbs in Perth in about fifteen years. Almost every ceiling here is plasterboard, most are under fifteen years old, and the problems are the ones that come with volume building: cracked joins, under-fixed sheets and leaks from the services packed into the roof space. We repair and replace plasterboard ceilings across Baldivis and the surrounding estates.

Peel region

Mandurah

Mandurah is far enough from Perth that a lot of metro trades will not make the drive, and close enough that we do. The city has every kind of ceiling: 1970s beach houses in Falcon and Silver Sands, canal-estate homes from the 1990s, retirement villages, and new estates in Lakelands and Meadow Springs. We repair and replace ceilings across the whole Mandurah and Peel area.
