Ceiling Cracking

Dabroa · Sep 06, 2020 2:05 pm

I’ve got a house which is about 15 years old and has some ceiling cracking.

What is the best way to repair this or does anyone have a good quality repairman in the Perth area that could do the job?

Can you shoot a general photo of your ceiling? Which materials used to build your ceilings?

I’ll try and get one tomorrow but it’s at my mums place. The ceiling is gyprock and they’ve used the ceiling tape at the joins. The ceiling was painted originally but when it began to sag and was re-fixed into place it was patched with some kind of patching compound.

Cracks between gyprock sheets are usually putty using a special mesh that serves as a reinforcement function. I think there is no need to invent something new here.

as in the comment above, I also believe that you need to buy this ceiling mesh. It was like that for me and it helped me a lot. It is a pity that now there is no photo. Then this grid is not visible if you care about the visual effect
