Plastering is one of the most fundamentally important trades in any building project. Walls and ceilings that are well plastered look smooth, take paint evenly, and remain sound for decades. Walls that are poorly plastered show every imperfection under paint, develop cracks, and require constant rectification.
Alleviate Plaster and Paint provides professional plastering services for residential and commercial projects across Melbourne. Whether you need new wall and ceiling installations for a renovation or new build, a gyprock partition wall, or quality finishing of existing surfaces, we bring the skill and attention to detail the job requires.
Plastering covers a broader range of work than many people realise. The term refers to any trade work involving the application, installation, or finishing of plaster-based or plasterboard-based wall and ceiling systems. In residential construction and renovation, plastering typically encompasses:
For decorative finishes like Venetian plaster, see our Venetian plastering page.
Protecting your space is just as important as the finish itself.
No dust, no plaster debris, no paint splatters, no stress.
Gyprock (the Boral brand name for plasterboard, widely used as a generic term in Australia) and drywall refer to the same product — plasterboard panels made from a gypsum plaster core between two layers of paper or fibreglass facing.
Plasterboard is the standard wall and ceiling lining system in Australian residential construction and most commercial interiors. Alleviate Plaster and Paint supplies and installs plasterboard for renovations, additions, and new builds across Melbourne, including standard plasterboard for general areas, moisture-resistant board for wet areas, and fire-rated board where specified.
A quality gyprock installation requires straight framing, correctly spaced fixings, neat cuts around penetrations and openings, and careful jointing and finishing so that the finished surface is smooth and straight with no visible joins or fastener heads under paint.
Plastering is typically priced per square metre for supply-and-install work, or by the day for labour-only engagements where materials are supplied by the builder or owner. The rate varies depending on the scope of work, the access conditions, the ceiling height, and the number of openings and penetrations involved.
Alleviate Plaster and Paint provides free, itemised quotes for all plastering work. We are transparent about what is included in the price: materials, labour, disposal of offcuts, and the number of finishing coats — so you can compare quotes on a like-for-like basis.
If you are getting multiple quotes for plastering work, be sure to confirm whether the quote includes taping and finishing or just board fixing, as these are often quoted separately and the difference can be significant.
