Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Oct 22, 2021 2:09 pm Hi all, First time poster, just bought a house which needs a bit of work before we move in. The main thing will be the ceilings...I received a quote for $30k (including GST) to batten out existing ceiling in 5 rooms and a hallway. Includes cornices and ceiling roses.
