Plasterboard ceilings,
replaced properly.
Sagging, cracking or glue-failure ceilings replaced, insulated and finished in as little as a day.
Book an inspectionMany Adelaide homes built or renovated 15 to 25 years ago had their ceilings fixed with orange construction adhesive, which is now known to fail. Others simply wear out with age, heat and moisture.
Warning signs
- Sagging or dipping sheets
- Popped screws or nail heads
- Cracks along the joints
- Cornice pulling away from the wall
- Orange glue at the joints (roof space)
- Water stains or damp patches
Tell us what you’re seeing. If it needs a closer look, one of our experienced team will come out, check the ceiling and roof space, and give you a fixed price in writing.
How we replace your ceiling
Floors, furniture and everything else in the room covered up before we start.
Our licensed electrician comes in and safely disconnects all the lights.
The old ceiling, cornice and insulation come out, and we dispose of all the waste.
Installed while the ceiling is open. Upgrades available.
Knauf Sheetrock One fixed properly, every joint back-blocked so it doesn’t crack.
Fibafuse tape and a smooth Level 4 finish, with a square set or the cornice of your choice.
New ceiling, cornice and walls painted.
Our electrician comes back to reconnect your lighting, whether that’s new lights you’ve asked for or your current ones reinstalled.
The process
- Inspection and proposal
One of our experienced team measures every room, checks the ceiling and roof space, and photographs everything. If you have already sent us the measurements and photos we need, we can quote from those instead. Either way, you get a fixed price in writing.
- Lock in your date
Once you say yes, we lock in a date that works for you, and that’s the date we’ll be there. It only moves for a genuine emergency.
- Protect and strip out
We seal off the room and protect your floors and furniture, then remove the old ceiling and take all the waste away.
- Insulate and rebuild
New R3.5 insulation (or your upgrade) goes in, then the new ceiling is glued, screwed and back-blocked.
- Flush, cornice and sand
Joints are taped with Fibafuse and finished to a Level 4 standard, then a square set or your chosen cornice.
- Paint and electrical
Where included, a licensed electrician reconnects your lights and fittings and the room is painted.
- Clean-up
We clean up and take all the waste away.

“Sean and his team were amazing from their initial quoting to job completion. We had our bathroom ceiling replaced, new lights, fan and painted and it looks amazing. We also had bedroom cornices replaced and we couldn’t be happier.”
Giovanna B. · Google · Oct 2026“Our Bathroom Ceiling started to sag - house is 50 years plus old. I researched via Google for a company to replace our Bathroom Ceiling. I found "Adelaide Ceilings Replacements - ACR" in Daw Park, Adelaide S.A. The owner Sean explained clearly how they would replace our ceiling and offered to send a quote. The quote was sent by email very promptly and the price including all labour and parts was very good. I accepted the quote and on the 14th of July they arrived with 2 friendly and very skilled trades people & they covered all the floors etc, did an excellent job with the ceiling replacement and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. The next day the painter came and did a very good job painting the new ceiling and the walls above the tiles. My wife and I were very pleased to deal with such a professional company that laid out the whole process on a written quote and executed that job accordingly. I highly recommend ACR to anyone that needs a ceiling replaced for the perfect job they do and their fair price charged.”
