Separated cornice in an older bedroom

A widening junction gap and branching cracks had developed where a simple cove cornice met the ceiling.

Problem
Loose cornice, a chipped corner and fine cracking spreading into the adjacent ceiling surface.

ResidentialJoint cracking

Completed CRP project

A long straight crack and slight ridge followed the plasterboard joint across an open-plan dining area.

Problem
Failed joint treatment made the sheet boundary visible, particularly under raking daylight.
Repair scope
Open and assess the joint, re-tape where required, apply staged compounds, sand, seal and repaint the affected plane.

ResidentialComplete collapse

Completed CRP project

Complete family-room ceiling collapse

The ceiling lining had detached across almost the entire room, exposing the roof structure and leaving heavy plasterboard debris throughout the living area.

Problem
Widespread loss of ceiling attachment made the room unsafe to enter and ruled out a local patch repair.
Repair scope
Make the area safe, remove failed lining and debris, inspect framing and services, then install a complete new ceiling system, insulation, cornice, lighting and paint finish.
Completed result
A fully rebuilt, flat and continuous ceiling with fixtures reinstated and the living area returned to a clean usable condition.

ResidentialGarage replacement

Completed CRP project

Complete double-garage ceiling collapse

Most of the garage ceiling had fallen, exposing timber roof framing and insulation across a large span while debris covered the workshop floor.

Problem
Extensive sheet detachment and failed joints meant the remaining ceiling sections could not be treated as a reliable repair base.
Repair scope
Isolate the area, remove unstable lining, assess framing and garage-door clearances, then replace the full ceiling, reset junctions and reinstate lighting.
Completed result
A secure new garage ceiling with even joints, clean perimeter detailing and services returned to their intended positions.
