Carpenter-built

Flat walls start with a straight frame

Plasterboard shows every problem in the frame behind it. A bowed stud becomes a wave in the wall, and a frame out of plumb gives you a door that won't sit right. Because we're carpenters first, we build or straighten the frame before a sheet goes up, with noggins wherever the wall will carry shelves, a TV or cabinets.

We lay out the sheets to keep joins to a minimum and away from where light falls across the wall, then fix, tape and set every join and corner. The board matters too: standard for most rooms, moisture-resistant for laundries, acoustic where you want quiet. In bathrooms, waterproofing is a separate job for a waterproofer.

Typical jobs include splitting a big bedroom into two, closing in a study nook, lining a garage and re-sheeting rooms in a renovation. If a new wall needs power points, a licensed electrician runs the wiring before the sheets go on, and we can coordinate that. We'll also tell you if a wall is load-bearing and needs an engineer. We work across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, from Helensvale and Coomera to Wynnum and Indooroopilly.

FAQ

Plasterboard installation questions

What's the difference between plasterboard and gyprock?

Nothing, really. Gyprock is a brand name that most Australians use for any plasterboard. You'll hear us use both words for the same thing.

Can you put a doorway in the new wall?

Yes. We frame the opening, hang the door and fit the architraves, so the new room is finished as one job. That includes a cavity sliding door if space is tight.

Will a new stud wall block sound between rooms?

A plain wall cuts some noise, but sound batts in the cavity make a real difference, and acoustic board helps further. Sound also travels under doors and through the ceiling, so we'll talk through what will help most in your room.

Can you put power points in the new wall?

We don't do electrical work ourselves. A licensed electrician runs the cables and fits the outlets, and we can coordinate one so the wiring goes in after the frame is up and before the sheets go on.

Can you take a wall out as well?

We can remove non-load-bearing walls and patch the walls and ceiling around them. Any pipes or wiring inside need a plumber or electrician to make them safe first. If the wall might be holding up the roof or the floor above, it needs an engineer's advice, and we'll tell you if that's the case.
