Your ceiling is sagging. We can fix it without replacing it.

You'll notice it before it becomes a problem.

Shadow lines running across the ceiling. Visible join lines between sheets. A bow in the middle of the room. Cracks near the cornice. Any movement when you push on the ceiling. These are the early signs. Catch them now and restrapping is straightforward.

Gyprock or plasterglass, we fix both.

Fibreglass restrapping is the correct repair method for both ceiling types. The approach differs slightly. Here is what is happening in each case.

What happens on the day.

1. 1
   Prop and re-screw

   The ceiling is propped up and screwed back into the rafters approximately 100mm apart. Screw holes are flush-plastered in three coats.

2. 2
   Enter the roof space

   We go into the roof cavity, move the insulation clear of the work area, and clean the back of the ceiling sheets.

3. 3
   Lay fibreglass strapping

   One fibreglass strap to the centre of every sheet, or wherever the ceiling requires it. This is what carries the 10-year warranty.

4. 4
   Re-instate insulation

   Insulation goes back exactly as we found it. We leave the roof space clean.

5. 5
   Sand and finish

   Larger jobs get a return visit to sand back the plaster with a vacuum sander. Any visible join lines are re-flushed. Job is left clean and ready for paint.

Screw-up only (no strapping) is available at lower cost, but it doesn't carry a warranty. We'll explain both options and let you decide.

Done right the first time. Backed for a decade.

Every ceiling we restrap with fibreglass, gyprock or plasterglass, is covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty. If there's a problem with the strap work, we'll come back. That's the deal. Repairing done correctly the first time will last 50-plus years.

Answers before you call.

How much does ceiling restrapping cost in Perth?

A standard bedroom restrap typically runs $400–$1,200 depending on ceiling size, access, and condition. We quote on the job, no surprises.

How long does restrapping take?

Most single-room jobs are done in a day. Larger homes or ceilings with significant movement may need a return visit to sand and finish.

Can you restrap a plasterglass ceiling?

Yes, and it is the only correct way to repair one. Never let anyone re-screw a plasterglass ceiling. The board construction doesn't support it and the repair will fail.

What's the difference between restrapping and replacing?

Replacement means pulling the whole ceiling down and starting again. More cost, more disruption. Restrapping lifts and secures what's already there. In most cases it's the better outcome at a fraction of the cost.

Does the warranty cover both ceiling types?

Yes. Any ceiling we restrap with fibreglass, gyprock or plasterglass, carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.

Is restrapping covered by home insurance?

Insurance typically covers defined events like storm damage or burst pipes. Age-related strap failure is usually classed as maintenance and not covered. We can help you document the cause if you need to make a claim.
