  • Plaster Repairs

    How much patching and sanding is needed before painting.

  • Ceiling Height and Access

    High ceilings and stairwells may need a lift or scaffold.

  • Doors and Trims

    Damaged doors, frames and skirtings to repair and repaint.

  • Empty or in Use

Water Damage and Your Insurance Claim

Two things to know before repairs start after an insured event.

Repairing Water-Damaged Ceilings

Water through a ceiling leaves stains and can soften the plaster. If a stain is painted without being sealed first, the mark often shows through again. The leak needs to be fixed and the plaster dry before any painting starts.

On a two-level office repaint, our team repaired water-damaged ceilings throughout the building. The job needed plenty of plastering work before painting. We patched each damaged area and primed it before the premium topcoat went on.

Working with Your Insurer

You make the claim and deal with your insurer. We repair and repaint the damaged surfaces. Dan gives you a fixed-scope written quote that lists each repair and each area to be painted, so you can pass it on with your claim.

Ask your insurer what they need from a painter before work starts. DC Decorators holds QBCC licence 15331027, and you can check it on the QBCC register.
