Gyprock Repairs & Patching in Burleigh Heads

Our gyprock repairs and patching service in Burleigh Heads

Common faults in older homes in Burleigh Heads

Older houses move, and the repair list reflects it: doors that drag as frames drop, cracked cornice and wall joints, gates that no longer latch because the post has rotted at ground level, and trim that has swollen in wet areas. We fix the cause rather than planing a door that will bind again next summer. 1960s and 70s beach houses, hillside homes above James Street and newer builds toward Burleigh Waters.

Holes, impact damage and handle marks

Damage is cut back to a clean square, backed so the new piece is supported rather than floating on filler, taped, then set in multiple coats and sanded flush. That sequence is what makes a repair disappear under paint instead of telegraphing through it.

Cracks, joints and cornice repairs

Cracked and popped joints, nail pops, corner bead damage and cornice re-runs and mitres. Where a crack keeps returning at the same corner the cause is movement, not the set, and we tell you that rather than resetting the same crack every year.

Water damage and full sheet replacement

Stained, sagging or soft plasterboard is cut back to dry, sound material, the framing behind is checked, and new sheet is fixed, set and sanded. Wet sheet loses strength permanently and the paper facing supports mould, so painting over it is never the fix.

Ceilings and wet areas

Ceiling sheets sag differently to walls and need correct fixing and support, and bathrooms and laundries in Burleigh Heads need moisture resistant sheet rather than standard board. We use the right sheet for the location so the repair does not become the next problem.

Cracks that keep coming back

Hairline cracks running diagonally from door and window corners, or joints that reopen each summer, usually indicate structural or timber movement. Reactive soils and seasonal moisture swings move houses in Burleigh Heads more than people expect. Set jointing over a stabilised crack lasts; over an active one it does not, so the structural cause comes first.
