BODEK provides a wide range of gyprock plastering and repair services for residential, commercial and strata properties. Our work includes new plasterboard installation, gyprock wall and ceiling repairs, water-damaged plasterboard, sagging and bowed ceilings, cornice installation and repairs, wall patching and specialist plasterboard solutions.We can also assist with plastering as part of a larger renovation, extension or new build. Where painting is required after the plastering work, BODEK can coordinate the preparation and painting as part of the same project.
BODEK takes a practical, hands-on approach to every project. We focus on careful preparation, quality workmanship and clear communication throughout the job. As a locally owned business, we take pride in the work we carry out and aim to leave each project clean, well finished and completed to a high standard.
BODEK can install specialist plasterboard systems where required for the project, including moisture-resistant plasterboard for wet areas, fire-rated plasterboard and acoustic plasterboard designed to improve sound control. The appropriate system depends on the location, building requirements and the result you're looking to achieve.
The time required depends on the size and condition of the area, the type of work involved and the level of finishing required. Some small repairs can be completed relatively quickly, while new walls, ceilings, water-damaged areas or larger renovation projects may require several stages of work.Before starting a project, BODEK will discuss the scope of work with you and provide an estimated timeframe. We believe proper preparation and finishing are important, so we focus on achieving a quality result rather than rushing the job.
If you notice water stains, mould, bubbling paint, cracks or sagging plasterboard, the first step is to identify and address the source of the water. This may be a leaking roof, plumbing issue or another source of moisture.Once the cause has been addressed, BODEK can assess the affected gyprock and determine whether the damaged area can be repaired or needs to be replaced. We can repair or replace damaged plasterboard, prepare the surface and coordinate the painting required to restore the area.Water-damaged plasterboard should not simply be covered up, particularly if there are signs of ongoing moisture or mould. If you're unsure about the condition of your ceiling or walls, contact BODEK to discuss the problem.
Yes. BODEK repairs sagging and bowed gyprock ceilings and can assess the cause of the problem before recommending the appropriate repair. Depending on the condition of the plasterboard and its fixings, the solution may involve re-securing the existing sheets, repairing damaged areas or replacing sections of the ceiling. Once the repair is complete, the surface can be finished and prepared for painting.
Not all damaged gyprock needs to be completely replaced. Small holes, cracks, impact damage and some areas of water damage can often be repaired, while severely damaged, warped or deteriorated plasterboard may require replacement. BODEK can assess the condition of the affected area and explain the most appropriate option for your project.
Yes. BODEK works with residential, commercial and strata properties across Sydney.
