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.
