Services

The plaster jobs
people call him for.

Cracks, holes, tired ceilings and broken cornices. The damage is fixed and finished with paint, so the room looks like nothing happened.

  1. 01

    Crack repairs, walls and ceilings

    Most mentioned in reviews

    Cracks in walls and ceilings found, opened up, filled and set smooth. Including the fine ones you have stopped noticing, and the ones you never saw.

  2. 02

    Ceiling repairs

    “Perfectly smooth, seamless”

    Damaged or failing ceiling sections repaired, down to opening the ceiling up to the joists when that is what the job needs. Recent work includes a ceiling repair after mould remediation.

  3. 03

    Cornice replacement

    Replace and paint

    Damaged cornices replaced and painted, from plain modern profiles to the ornate period cornices found in older Melbourne homes.

  4. 04

    Patching and sheet replacement

    Walls and hallways

    Holes and damaged sections cut out and replaced, then joins taped, set and sanded back so the wall reads as one surface again.

  5. 05

    Painting the repair

    Plasterer and painter

    The job is finished with paint, so the repair disappears into the room rather than leaving you a patch to sort out with another trade.

  6. 06

    Older homes and outdoor ceilings

    Period and alfresco

    Cracked ceilings in old homes, period hallways, and covered alfresco ceilings outside. Care taken with what is already there.

The work

The part most people never see.

These are straight off the job: cracks before they are opened up, ceilings taken back to the joists, fresh set plaster waiting for paint. A good plaster repair is invisible when it is finished, so this is where you can see it.

How Adrian works

Look first.
Explain. Then fix it.

The same four things come up again and again in what his customers write. Here they are, in their words.

1

He comes and inspects

Adrian looks at the job in person before anything else, and works out what is actually causing the problem.

“He was very thorough with his inspection and gave me a detailed explanation of the problem.”Sam H

2

He explains your options

You hear what is required and what the choices are, in plain terms, before any work starts.

“came and inspected the job and explained options and what was required.”Paul Hosking

3

Repair, set and paint

The plaster is repaired and finished with paint, and you are kept up to date while it happens.

“kept me updated as the work progressed.”Kelly Franks

4

He cleans up

Plastering is dusty work. The house is left tidy when he goes.

“We had to do zero cleaning after he was done”Sam H

Cornice fitted where built-in cupboards meet the ceiling, joins set ready for paint

Cornices

Where the ceiling meets everything else.

Cracked, broken or mismatched cornice spoils a room. Adrian replaces damaged cornice and paints it, so the line runs clean again, around joinery too.

“Adrian did a great job in replacing and painting our ceiling cornices.”

“Couldn’t be happier with the end result and would highly recommend.”“He did the job in a timely manner and for a reasonable price.”

“Adrian did an incredible job with a difficult plaster repair, following mould remediation works. The ceiling repair and paint finish are perfectly smooth, seamless, and look like new!

He was prompt, professional, and an excellent communicator from the initial inspection through to the final clean up, explained the repair options, and kept me updated as the work progressed.

The finished product exceeded my expectations, and he left everything tidy when he was done. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adrian’s work, and would give more than 5 stars if I could.”

“Adrian did an amazing job in fixing the cracks in our walls and ceiling. He was very thorough with his inspection and gave me a detailed explanation of the problem.

He came on time on both days and was very clean with both the painting and plastering jobs. We had to do zero cleaning after he was done and all he did the work for a very reasonable fee.”
