Pricing guide

Costs are driven mainly by the area to be replaced and whether work is on a wall, ceiling or both. Ceiling or combined wall-and-ceiling jobs typically increase labour and access needs, while materials are usually standard allowances. Hidden issues behind the linings and after-hours attendance can also increase the overall scope and timings.

  • Area and repair size

    Labour hours generally scale with the total square metres being replaced and the number of separate patches.

  • Ceiling height and overhead work

    Ceiling work usually takes longer due to overhead handling, two-person lifts and potential sheet-lifting equipment.

  • Combined walls and ceilings scope

    Replacing both walls and ceilings increases setup, handling and coordination around edges and penetrations.

  • Access and equipment needs

    Scaffold, EWPs or extended ladder work raise setup time and may add to the job if hire is required beyond a short period.

  • Condition of framing and services

    Quotes typically assume sound framing and services; discovered structural or service remediation is usually treated as additional work.
