Damage and repair boundary
Define where sound material begins and how the new patch will be supported.
For holes, cracks, damaged joints and localised sheet damage, the repair boundary and finish matter as much as the patch itself. CRP can assess the affected area and define an appropriate scope.

Local repairs should consider the cause of damage, how the patch will be supported, the position of joins, the existing texture and paint boundaries. Covering movement or moisture without resolving it can lead to repeat failure.
Define where sound material begins and how the new patch will be supported.
Plan tape, compound, sanding and feathering around the repair.
Confirm what is included and whether an exact visual match is achievable.
| Pathway | When it may fit | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Small patch assessment | Contained holes or damage with sound surrounding material. | Written scope required |
| Joint or crack repair | Repair includes stabilising and rebuilding a joint or affected line. | Written scope required |
| Sheet section replacement | The damaged area is too large or compromised for a reliable small patch. | Written scope required |
Review symptoms, location, access and photos.
Confirm condition, cause, boundaries and constraints.
Document method, inclusions, exclusions, timing and price.
Complete the agreed work, clean-up and handover.
Often yes, if the surrounding sheet is sound and the patch can be supported and finished correctly.
Matching depends on the existing texture, age, lighting and paint. The expected finish should be explained before work.
The cause of movement should be assessed first. A cosmetic repair may recur if movement continues.
Only if stated in the written quote. Preparation, priming and painting should be itemised clearly.
Share the ceiling issue, location and access requirements. CRP will confirm the appropriate next step.
