I clumsily put my foot through a sheet while running some wiring through. Cheers Re: Alfresco ceiling damage. 2Mar 30, 2011 1:57 pm define one sheet please? one sheet of gyprock/plaster (which I doubt you have as the alfresco ceiling) can be 600/900/1200/other mm wide and lots of lengths too Plaster is generally less than $5per m2 bu then you have to pay for it to be put up and painted. a hole the size of my foot (Size 12) would probably cost 3-500 if you paid a contractor. I'm pretty sure most of the time it'll be villa board(the stuff they use for eaves) not sure on cost but i'd imagine around teh same cost per m2 but may be different to install. Re: Alfresco ceiling damage. 3Apr 03, 2011 11:14 am hey first thing you must do is figger out what exactly it is either gyprock or fibro( soffit lining ). good news is if you just put your foot through gyprock then it can be patched ( insert sheet for hole then set ) regardless of the size of the hole if its a foot hole or a 2 m x 2 m hole doesnt matter, and it would be "cheaper" to repair and repaint the alfresco ceiling rather than resheet , reset, and repaint, and if you have to resheet you may have to pull the beeding or cornice off so theres another stinger for ya lol, however if its fibro your in trouble a carpenter will have to come out and replace the sheet from the plastic joiners to and fro. hope this helps. glenn I thought this would be a popular question but I haven't been able to find any similar posts.
