Plastering in The Gap
Holes, cracks, water-stained ceilings and small new walls, finished smooth and ready for paint.
In The Gap, plastering is often about moisture. Shaded, bush-facing walls and bathrooms get damp and the plasterboard suffers. I find where the water is getting in, replace the damaged sections and patch cracks from the split-level homes' movement on sloping blocks.
The Gap is about fifteen minutes from my base in Ferny Hills, over the hill via Settlement Road.

Homes in The Gap
The suburb grew through the 1960s and 70s with brick and timber split-level homes on large sloping blocks, many with elevated timber decks and carports. Blocks close to Enoggera Reservoir and the bushland edge are shaded and damp, which drives a lot of the maintenance work: gutters, mould, rot in exposed timber and paths that turn green every wet season.
Working on the hill
Elevated decks and steep yards need the right approach to access and safety. I've done plenty of hillside work across the north-west and price each job on its own terrain rather than a flat rate.

If a crack keeps coming back or a ceiling is sagging badly, the cause may be structural or a roof leak. I'll find it first rather than just covering it.
