Plastering and Gyprocking in Parramatta

Yes. We work across Greater Western Sydney and the surrounding localities, including every suburb listed on this page. There is no travel charge anywhere we work. If your suburb is not shown, contact us and we will confirm coverage.

We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 5:30pm. A quote can be requested at any time through the form on this page or by sending through your floor plans or a photograph, and we come back to you during working hours.

Because the sheet length was set by whatever fitted in the goods lift. In a tower the longest board that can be used is the longest one that fits into the lift car and turns out of it on your floor, which is usually shorter than a house would take, so the ceiling is built from more pieces. That is unavoidable. What is avoidable is those joints showing later, and the answer is backing them properly rather than relying on compound. Where yours stand proud and pick up the light, that is the step nobody took.

It depends entirely on which Parramatta you are in, and this is the one suburb where the answer genuinely goes both ways. If you are in one of the older detached or low rise properties, the ground here is reactive and seasonal movement is a real explanation. If you are in a tower, it is not, because the building sits on piled foundations, and cracking along the head of a wall is almost always the slab deflecting with nothing detailed to absorb it. Getting that wrong costs an owners corporation a lot of money in the wrong investigation.

In a fully glazed apartment with continuous downlights, it is what the finishing standard calls for rather than an upgrade. The standard reserves its highest level for surfaces seen under critical lighting or gloss and semi gloss paint, and light raking along a long open plan wall all day is exactly that condition. In a bedroom with a smaller window, a Level 4 is correct and we will say so. The honest version is that it varies room by room, which is why we would rather specify it that way than apply one level through a whole apartment.

Possibly, and the honest answer is that it turns on your scheme rather than on your trade. The default is that structure, the walls you share with a neighbour, and anything enclosing services sit with the owners corporation, while a plain internal partition sits with you. Schemes then write their own by laws on top of that default, and a fair number of the newer buildings here carry a minor works by law that either pre approves small jobs or forbids them outright. So the real answer is in your by laws rather than in any general rule, and we would rather wait a week to read it than start something that has to come back out.

Quite possibly, and it is worth checking before you spend anything. Statutory warranties in NSW run six years from completion for a major defect and two years otherwise, and a large share of Parramatta's stock has been completed since 2015. What we can do is inspect, tell you honestly what we think caused it, and put that in writing for the owners corporation or the builder. Advice on the claim itself belongs to somebody qualified to give it, and in a strata building it usually starts with your committee rather than with you.

It might, and it needs settling before anybody quotes. Parramatta carries layered heritage controls, from council listings through to state significance and a world heritage buffer over part of the centre, which is an unusual amount for one suburb. What triggers consent depends on the property and on what is being altered. Internal plastering is often exempt, but we are not the people to tell you that yours is. Ask the council or your certifier, and we will work to whatever comes back.
