Rated Reviews on Google
Ivanhoe’s interwar homes have solid plaster walls and ceilings in most rooms, and the renovation activity common in the suburb creates regular demand for both new work and careful repair of the original plaster.
Alleviate Plaster and Paint works across Ivanhoe on California bungalows and interwar homes with solid plaster throughout, often supplemented with newer gyprock partitions from previous renovations of varying quality.
Shaun Holmes founded Alleviate in 2022 with a clear focus: to deliver high-quality plaster and paint work in a way that takes the stress out of the process for the homeowner. The team has since built a reputation across Melbourne’s inner suburbs for skilled workmanship, honest communication, and a genuine respect for the properties they work in. When you hire Alleviate as your plasterer in Ivanhoe, you are working with people who care about getting it right.
Alleviate Plaster and Paint provides a complete plastering service for residential and commercial clients in Ivanhoe. Whether the job is a straightforward gyprock installation or a more complex heritage repair, we bring the same level of care to every project.

Protecting your space is just as important as the finish itself.
No dust, no plaster debris, no paint splatters, no stress.
Plaster repair sounds straightforward, but the difference between a repair that blends invisibly into the surrounding surface and one that is visible under paint comes down to experience and patience. Alleviate takes the time to do it properly.
For hairline cracks, we open the crack slightly, apply a flexible filler, and sand it back so the surface is truly flat before painting. For larger holes and damaged sections of plasterboard, we cut out the damaged area cleanly, install a proper backing and patch, and apply finishing coats to bring the repaired area flush with the surrounding surface.
Water-damaged plasterboard is replaced rather than patched over. Saturated board retains moisture internally even after the surface appears dry, and painting over it without replacement creates conditions for mould and ongoing deterioration. We confirm the source of any moisture has been resolved before installing new board and finishing the surface.
Many of the homes in Ivanhoe have original plasterwork that forms part of what makes the property special. Decorative cornices, ceiling roses, archways, and solid plaster walls with the warmth and mass that modern plasterboard cannot replicate are features worth maintaining properly.
Alleviate has experience working in heritage properties throughout Melbourne’s inner suburbs, including recognised work on Channel 9’s The Block. When we work with original plasterwork, we assess what is genuinely worth preserving and repair it to a standard that honours the original craftsmanship rather than the quickest achievable result.
For cornice matching and installation, we source the closest available profile to the existing detail or advise on options for more complex heritage profiles. We will always be honest about what can and cannot be matched precisely before any work starts.

Because Alleviate handles both plastering and painting, your renovation or repair project can be completed by one contractor from plastering through to the finished painted surface. This removes the coordination overhead of managing separate trades and ensures the plaster is finished to the standard the paint finish requires.
