Garage & carport ceilings

Garage ceilings take more punishment than any ceiling in the house. After years of heat, moisture and roller-door vibration, many are one strong gust of wind away from coming down. Most collapses we see have no insulation above them at all.

One pull, and the whole garage ceiling comes down.

Warning signs

  • Sagging or dipping sheets
  • Cracks along the joints
  • Popped screws or nails
  • Sagging over the roller door
  • Cornice pulling away from the wall
  • Staining or water marks
Not sure?

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.

Our garage ceiling system

01
R3.5 insulation

Takes the heat load off the new ceiling and keeps the garage cooler.

02
3-glue / 6-screw fixing method

Most ceilings get minimal glue and screws. We glue and screw every sheet with 32 mm coarse-thread screws, or 25 mm fine-thread screws on steel framing.

03
Every joint back-blocked

Knauf Sheetrock One with back-blocked joints, so the ceiling doesn’t crack.

04
P18 perimeter angles

Steel angles around the edges stop the sheets sagging at the walls.

05
Exterior-grade paint

On Complete and Premium, the ceiling is primed and painted in exterior-grade paint for moisture protection.

Questions

Anything else you’d like to know? Call or text us on 0402 252 511.

How much does a garage ceiling replacement cost in Adelaide?

Our fixed prices, including GST, are: Essential $4,060 for a single (6 × 3 m) or $6,100 for a double (6 × 6 m); Complete $5,500 or $7,850; Premium $6,950 or $9,730. Larger garages are priced per extra m², and you get the exact figure in writing before we start.

How long does it take?

Most garage ceilings take two days, including painting where it’s included. Your roller door is back on at the end of day one.

How many doors are included?

Complete and Premium include removing and refitting up to 2 roller doors on a single garage, or up to 3 on a double, or 1 panel-lift door.

Is there a warranty?

Complete and Premium packages carry a 20-year workmanship warranty. Materials are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Do you have to take the roller doors down?

Only when they’re in the way. If there’s a good gap between the door and the ceiling, it stays up. If the door sits close to the ceiling, there isn’t room to fix the new ceiling above it properly, so we take it down and refit it the same day. Leaving it up just to save time means the ceiling above it isn’t done to building standards.

Do you do carports too?

Yes. Carport ceilings take the same punishment as garages and we replace them the same way.

Can I strip the old ceiling out myself?

Yes. Ask us about the owner strip-out option, which takes $300 off a single or $600 off a double.

Start with a conversation.

Tell us about your ceiling, and add a few photos if you can. One of our experienced team will call to talk it through and, if it needs a look, book a time to inspect it. You can also text photos to 0402 252 511.
