Storm leaks, stained ceilings and mould

A brown stain or bulge in a Brisbane ceiling after a summer storm almost always means water got in first and the plasterboard is only the result. Find and fix the leak with a roofer before a plasterer replaces the damaged sheet, otherwise the stain comes back. Wet plasterboard in humid weather can also grow mould, so remove sagging, soaked sections quickly.

Before you hire a plastering in Brisbane

  • Photograph the damage with a wider shot showing the whole wall or ceiling.
  • Say whether the job needs new plasterboard, a small patch or a full skim coat.
  • Ask whether sanding, dust protection and painting are included.
  • Show any water stains and fix the leak before closing up the wall.

Common questions

Can a plasterer fix a ceiling stain left by a storm leak?
Yes, once the leak is fixed and the area is dry. They can replace damaged board, set the joints and leave it ready for painting; seal stains before repainting so they do not bleed through.
Who patches a hole left by a plumber or electrician?
A plasterer can patch and finish the wall. Ask whether the quote also covers matching the existing paint.
Can you paint straight after plastering?
The plaster or joint compound needs to dry and be prepared first. Ask the tradesperson when the surface will be ready for primer and paint.
