Cracked ceiling repair Southern Highlands

Yes, it looks scary but it is fixable.

Cracks in walls and ceilings are fairly common. How do you tell if its a good crack or a bad crack? Most cracks are due to building settlement and expansion and contraction. These are easily fixed. In fact, if you have a newly built home, I wouldn’t do anything for a few years. Once it all settles, you can then repair any cracks.

Sometimes a crack is due to foundation shifting. These will be pretty serious and require expert investigation.

In other cases, there are long standing construction or minor structural issues. Sometimes the plasterboard ceiling wasn’t fixed correctly or the ceiling/roof framing may have a defect either due to poor build or due to somebody modifying structure.

In this case, it seemed like a long standing issue as it had been repaired before. We carried out the repair, repainted and it’s like new again!
