Repairs, resurfacing and repainting for ceilings in homes and commercial spaces.
Ceilings are often overlooked — until cracks, sagging, or water stains begin to draw the eye. Whether it’s the result of age, past repairs, moisture damage, or simply a poor-quality original install, a tired or damaged ceiling can affect both the appearance and structural integrity of a room.
AR Plus provides full-service ceiling restoration across residential and commercial properties. From small touch-ups to complete replacements, we restore ceilings to a high standard using modern materials, best-practice fixings, and a clean, careful approach.
AR Plus restores ceilings in a wide range of residential and commercial settings — always aiming for a clean finish, minimal disruption, and a professional standard.
Homeowners call on us to refresh dated interiors or fix damage caused by leaks, ageing, or earlier renovations.
Property managers rely on fast, tidy work between tenancies to help improve rental appeal.
Builders & project managers count on us to deliver smooth, paint-ready finishes during new builds or refurbishments.
Business owners & facility managers bring us in to address ceiling issues in offices, retail spaces, and customer-facing environments — often under tight timeframes.
Whether it’s a single room or an entire building, we tailor our approach to suit the scale and setting of the project.
If your existing ceiling was installed before the 1990s, chances are it used plasterboard nails — a method that often leads to movement, popping, or sagging over time.Â
Modern ceilings are fixed with a combination of adhesive glues and screws, providing a much more secure and long-lasting result. Where ceiling replacement is needed, we use updated plasterboard options that can dramatically improve performance. These include:
Thicker board for a more solid finish
Moisture-resistant options for kitchens and bathrooms
Fire-rated plasterboard for garages, commercial fitouts, or compliance upgrades
Acoustic-rated panels for offices, apartments, or high-occupancy spaces
In many cases, upgrading the ceiling isn't just about repair—it's a chance to enhance comfort, compliance, and value.
We begin by inspecting the ceiling and identifying any structural or cosmetic issues. From there, the process typically involves:
We work carefully in occupied homes and commercial spaces, protecting floors, furniture, and equipment throughout.
To complete the look, AR Plus can supply and install GIB® Cove — a clean, stylish alternative to traditional cornices or square-set finishes.
Available in a variety of profiles to suit both classic and modern interiors, GIB Cove adds a polished edge between walls and ceilings. It’s lightweight, durable, and cost-effective to install during the restoration process.
This renovation project involved full popcorn ceiling removal and restoration and vinyl floor removal. The AR Plus team worked in stages, starting with site containment and surface preparation, then completing detailed plastering and painting. All work was carried out following safety protocols and coordinated around the homeowner’s schedule to minimise disruption.
Ceiling restoration can be messy and disruptive — unless you’re working with a team that knows how to manage the details. Whether it’s water damage, tenant wear and tear, or just outdated finishes, we help bring ceilings back to life with minimal stress and maximum care.
At AR Plus, we bring decades of experience, professional coordination, and a commitment to finish quality that shows in every ceiling we complete.
Ceilings installed before 1990 — especially those with textured coatings — may contain asbestos. These must be tested and removed by a licensed professional before restoration can begin.

Common causes of ceiling cracks and sagging include moisture, movement in the framing, age, or older fixing methods like plasterboard nails. Sagging can also result from insulation being moved or disturbed above the ceiling. We assess the root cause before recommending a solution.
Yes. We're experienced in working with occupants, tenants, and staff. We’ll plan the job to minimise disruption and protect flooring, furniture, and fittings during the ceiling restoration.
If your ceiling was installed or coated before 1990, especially if it has a textured (popcorn-style) finish, asbestos may be present. We recommend asbestos testing before any work begins. AR Plus can help you assess and, if needed, remove asbestos before restoring the ceiling.
Often, popcorn ceiling removal can be done without a full ceiling replacement. Depending on the condition, we can strip, repair, and resurface your existing ceiling for a smooth, modern finish.
A textured or popcorn ceiling doesn't always mean it contains asbestos, but many older popcorn ceilings—especially those installed before the 1990s—may contain asbestos. If your ceiling is textured or has a popcorn finish, it’s safest to assume there could be asbestos until it’s professionally tested. Our team can handle asbestos popcorn ceiling removal safely and according to regulations.
A clean, modern ceiling can lift an entire room. AR Plus restores ceilings to a smooth, paint-ready finish that looks good and lasts. Contact us to request a quote for ceiling restoration or to schedule an inspection.
