Plaster cladding repair that addresses the cause
Cracked or tired plaster cladding usually signals something happening underneath, and a cosmetic patch only delays the issue. When old plaster is stripped back, the substrate is checked for moisture ingress and rotten framing, then targeted plaster cladding repair or partial cladding replacement is discussed with you.
If rotten timber is exposed, the in-house builder replaces it before plastering continues, so you are not chasing multiple trades across the site. Related concrete repairs may also form part of the scope on structural work.

Recladding backed by code compliance and signed warranties
When it comes to recladding, peace of mind is just as important as the physical finish. Our expert team ensures that every stage of your project meets strict building regulations, delivering a result fully backed by council code compliance.
We don't just promise quality—we guarantee it in writing, providing you with our comprehensive 5-year workmanship warranty alongside a 15-year material warranty on your plastering system. With our licensed building practitioners handling the job, you can move forward with complete confidence knowing your home is structurally sound, fully weather-tight, and legally protected.
Site coordination and communication across projects
With around two decades on the tools and Licensed Building Practitioner status, our project managers runs every project from the first site visit to the final QA walkthrough, including before, during and after photos sent to the team leader for any defect.
Enquiries are usually answered same-day, with daily updates where warranted, and anything outside scope is flagged immediately. Scaffolding is coordinated through a trusted team, and site prep is handled in-house.
Floor, window and carpet protection is used, dust is controlled, and the site is cleaned at handover. Interior finishing through interior plastering can be coordinated on combined projects.

A properly installed exterior plastering system should last 20 to 30 years or more when maintained. The exterior texture coating on top usually needs recoating every 10 to 15 years to keep it waterproof. Regular washing and minor touch-ups extend its life considerably.
If damage is localised - hairline cracks, small chips or isolated damp patches - targeted plaster cladding repair is usually enough. Leaky home recladding is needed when there is widespread cracking, failed flashings, rotten framing or moisture readings across multiple areas.
A thorough inspection is carried out first.
Watch for bubbling paint, dark staining, soft or spongy plaster, musty smells inside, cracks around windows and visible rust on fixings. Internal signs include swollen skirting, lifting wallpaper or mould around window reveals. Catching it sooner means smaller repairs and lower costs.
Yes, in many cases. If the underlying framing is sound and damage is confined to specific areas, the affected sections are cut out, rotten timber is replaced by the in-house builder and the plaster cladding is reinstated to match.
Honest advice is given on when patch repairs make sense.
The process starts with an inspection and detailed quote, followed by scaffolding, stripping existing cladding and assessing the framing. Rotten timber is replaced, new building wrap and cavity battens are installed, followed by fibre cement sheeting, plaster system and coatings.
Most reclads take six to 12 weeks.
