Renovating a room?
Small Renovation Plastering Sydney
We install plasterboard ceilings and walls for small renovations, whether you're updating an existing room, refreshing your home or renovating a property. From new rooms to replacement ceilings and walls, we deliver a smooth, quality finish ready for painting.
Do you do plastering for small renovations?
Yes. Sydney Plastering Service installs plasterboard walls and ceilings for small renovations across Sydney — a single room, a replacement ceiling, a room re-lined after rewiring or replumbing, or a small extension or conversion. We supply the board, fix it, set the joints, add cornice and access hatches where needed, and leave it smooth and ready for painting. We specialise in small renovations and single rooms, not whole-house builds or large construction.
What's included
Small Renovations: what we do
- New plasterboard walls and ceilings for a room update
- Replacing an old or sagging ceiling in one room
- Re-lining walls and ceilings after rewiring or replumbing
- Water-resistant (wet-area) board for laundries, bathrooms and kitchens
- Sound-rated board between bedrooms, living areas and home offices
- Fire-rated board where required, installed and completed to code
- Cornice supply and installation
- Ceiling access hatches
- Joints taped, set and sanded ready for painting
Clean, low-dust finish: we sand with a vacuum sander connected to a dust extractor, so most of the dust is captured at the source. How our dust-free sanding works
Small renovations we plaster
Most of our renovation work is one room at a time: a bedroom or living room being refreshed, a dated ceiling being replaced, a rental being brought up to standard between tenants, or a room that has been opened up for new wiring, plumbing or ducting and now needs new linings.
We also line small extensions and conversions — a sunroom, a closed-in verandah or a converted garage — where the framing is in place and the walls and ceilings need plasterboard, cornice and a smooth finish.
How a room is re-lined
Old linings are removed where they need to come out, then new plasterboard is fixed to the framing with the right board for each wall and ceiling. Cornice goes in, access hatches are cut in where you'll need roof or ceiling access later, and every joint and screw fixing is taped and set.
Setting compound needs time to dry, so once the joints are set we come back the next day to sand them smooth with our vacuum (dust-free) sanding machine. Then the room is ready for your painter.
Working with your other trades
Renovations usually involve electricians, plumbers or air-con installers. Tell us who else is on the job and we'll plan the plastering around them — rough-in first, then linings, then setting — so nothing has to be cut back open after it's finished.
Getting a quote for a small renovation
Every room is different, so we don't publish a price list. Send us a few photos of the room, its rough size, what's changing and your suburb, and we'll get back to you about the best way to run the job.

“Michael has just recently completed plastering work at our home. Michael and his team were very professional. He repaired ceiling cracks in three rooms of our house.

Small Renovations across Sydney
Based in Ryde, we do small renovations for homeowners, landlords, property managers and strata across Sydney, including:
Do you plaster small renovations?
Yes. Small renovations and single rooms are exactly the kind of installation work we take on — new walls and ceilings for a room update, replacement ceilings, and re-lining after rewiring or replumbing. We don't take on whole-house builds or large construction.
Can you replace an old ceiling in one room?
Yes. We remove the old ceiling lining where it needs to come out, fix new plasterboard, add cornice and set it ready for painting. If there's water damage, the leak needs to be fixed first.
Do you supply the plasterboard?
Yes. We supply and install the plasterboard, cornice and setting materials as part of the quote, including water-resistant board for wet areas and sound-rated board where you want less noise between rooms.
Is it ready to paint when you finish?
Yes. Every joint and screw fixing is set over several coats and sanded smooth, so the walls and ceilings are ready for your painter.
How do I get a quote?
Send us photos of the room, its rough size, what you're changing and your suburb through the quote form, or call 0450 535 200. We'll review the details and get back to you.
