When to call us for ceilings and pvc panels
The ceiling goes in late in the build, after the trades above it are done. We work alongside your foreman or contractor, and we quote from your plans.
After the roof is closed
The ceiling goes in once the roof is on and watertight.
After wiring and pipes
Electrical and any pipes above the ceiling go in first.
Mark the lights and fans
Decide where lights and fans go before we close the ceiling.
Choose by room
PVC for wet areas, paintable board where you want a smooth finish.
Fixing or replacing?
The ceilings and pvc panels problems we see most
Sagging ceilings
Wooden frames bend, termites eat them, or leaks soak the boards.
Stains that come back
The stain was painted over but the leak above it was never fixed.
Wavy lines
The frame wasn't levelled, and you see it every time the light hits.
Termites in the frame
Wooden furring is food for anay.
How we do it right
Our ceilings and pvc panels checklist
Fix the leak first
If there's a stain, we check the roof above before we touch the ceiling.
Metal frame, levelled
Metal furring and carrying channels, levelled across the whole room.
The right board
PVC where it's damp, board you can paint where you want a smooth finish.
Straight joints, neat trim
Lines run true and edges are finished clean.
Plan the lights first
Downlights and wiring planned before the ceiling closes.
Clean up
Dust and offcuts gone before we leave.
Before you hire anyone
Four questions to ask any ceiling installer
Ask whoever you're thinking of hiring, us included. A good answer is specific. "Don't worry, boss" isn't an answer.
- Is the frame metal or wood?
- How do you make sure it's level?
- Will you fix the leak above it first?
- Which board do you recommend for my room, and why?

Questions
Ceilings and PVC panels: what people ask
PVC panels or gypsum board?
PVC panels don't mind moisture, need no painting and go up fast. Gypsum gives a smooth painted look but doesn't like water. Bathrooms, kitchens and covered outdoor areas suit PVC.
Can you put PVC panels on walls too?
Yes. They're easy to wipe clean, which suits kitchens, bathrooms and shops.
Can you add lights while you're at it?
Yes. We plan downlights and wiring before the ceiling closes, so nothing gets cut open later.
