CEILING REPLACEMENT CAIRNS
PROFESSIONAL CEILING REPLACEMENT IN CAIRNS
If your plasterboard ceiling is on its last legs, our local team of plasterers can help
Plasterboard ceilings can be functional, beautiful, and relatively maintenance-free for many years, but they can crack, flake, and sag over time. When your plaster ceiling starts to look a little worse for wear, or even unsafe, it can be hard to know what you should do next.
Do you just get it repaired, or is a complete ceiling replacement necessary? The options are confusing, and the consequences of a poor decision can be costly. Don't be sold into a total ceiling replacement if it's not absolutely necessary. On the other hand, repeatedly paying for a 'band-aid' ceiling repair may be futile and wasted money in the case when a new ceiling is really required.
There are dozens of plasterers in Cairns, but it can be hard to know who will give you the right advice.
Cairns Plaster Professionals specialise in ceiling replacement services in Cairns QLD and restoring the beauty of your home without breaking your budget.
With over 34 years of combined experience installing replacement plaster ceilings, our expert local plasterers will promptly ensure that your new ceiling is installed with the highest quality workmanship and at a price you can afford.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR PLASTER CEILING NEEDS REPLACING?
Some of the signs that your ceiling is on its last legs and needs replacement include:
- Multiple cracks in the ceiling surface
- Large bumps, waves and dips in the ceiling surface
- Excessively peeling paint or flaking plaster surfaces
- Damaged and sagging cornices or other decorative embellishments such as rosettes or roses
- Badly water-damaged walls and ceilings
- Rust stains or mould growth on the ceiling surface
If you are noticing any of these symptoms, it is time to
call one of our knowledgeable plasterers for an honest ceiling assessment and replacement estimate (only if required). Our team can provide advice on the best course of action regarding your ceilings, advise if replacement is vital, otherwise advise if other options may work better for you.

A CEILING IS OFTEN THE MOST OVERLOOKED AND NEGLECTED PART OF THE PROPERTY
Although not out of sight, the integrity of a plasterboard ceiling is often out of mind. It has been estimated that one in every thirty-two homes experiences some sort of ceiling-related problem each year.
At Cairns Plaster Professionals, we offer plaster replacement ceiling services as a way of improving the appearance and durability of your ceiling area. We can tailor our service to meet your exact space, style, and budget requirements. We have a wealth of experience working with domestic and commercial clients, and we guarantee that our work meets the highest standards.
WHAT CAN CAUSE A PLASTERBOARD CEILING TO FAIL?
There are numerous reasons a ceiling can begin to fail, ultimately leading to replacement. Some of these causes include:
Extreme heat:
The plasterboard adhesive detaches from the ceiling battens, causing the ceiling to sag or fall. Excessive ceiling space heat can cause the adhesive to let go from the battens. Adhesive failure is widespread in our Cairns climate due to the high humidity and many homes not having sarking or anti-condensation layers underneath the roof tiles or sheeting.
Water damage:
Leaks, even small ones, can cause damage to the ceiling's paper lining and its adhesive.
Ceiling batten failure:
Ceiling battens that are nailed (and not screwed) can work their way loose from the ceiling battens. Batten failure causes the ceiling to pull away from the joists and sag.
Ceiling discolouration:
Ceilings can begin to turn yellow and brown due to mildew growth, mould spores or cigarette smoke. Sometimes, you can paint this discolouration, but other times, you must replace the ceiling to solve the problem.
Structural movement:
Subsidence or movement in the footings can cause a roof or ceiling structure (such as ceiling joists, beams and battens) to move. This movement can compromise the integrity of the ceiling structure and cause it to fail.
Faulty design or original installation workmanship:
The initial installation contractor may have made a mistake when designing or installing your ceiling, which can lead to replacement. Failure could either be due to incorrect adhesive application, ceiling battens being installed too far apart, wrong plasterboard choice or incorrect fixings being installed.
No matter the problem, if your ceiling needs replacement or repairs, Cairns Plaster Professionals is the place to call. We provide high-quality plasterboard installation and replacement services, helping homeowners in Cairns and surrounding areas get back on their feet quickly and easily.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF A PLASTERBOARD CEILING IS NOT REPLACED?
If you do nothing about a failing ceiling, the problems will only worsen and potentially lead to a safety issue. The ceilings could drop, sag or fall altogether, causing structural damage and putting everyone in the house or business at risk.
If you leave a failing ceiling untreated, you could even risk damaging your still serviceable ceiling and walls when the old ceiling fails. Additionally, damage to electrical items such as ceiling fans and lights can occur if the ceiling has dropped or sagged.
