When and if the ceiling of your home in Perth gets worn out, it forms cracks and in this situation, you don’t have any other option than to call professionals for a repair. Today, we will focus on the ways the professionals follow to repair a cracked ceiling or the ceiling cornice.
Scraping loose materials with a knife
The first step is the scrape the loose materials with a knife but before doing so, the professionals put a plastic cover in the ground to avoid the scraped materials to fall directly on the ground. Anyway, they scrape the materials carefully and ensure that the drywall beneath does not get damaged.
Patching the crack
Next, the professionals providing the cracked ceiling repair in Perth will apply mesh over the crack and then apply mud on the drywall mesh and will leave it to dry for at least 30 minutes and during the process, they will make sure that the mud covers the entire mesh.
After this procedure, the professionals will texturize the mud so that it blends well with the ceiling. So, they will use a paintbrush or any other tool for the job.
Sanding and applying the second coat of mud
In the next step, the professionals will apply sanding so that the mud looks smoother. For this, the professionals will use a sponge or a paintbrush if needed.
Now, the second coat of mud needs to be thinner as it will cover the cracks that are formed on the surface and to apply it precisely, the builders will use a knife and when the application is over, they will again need to wait for half an hour to let it dry fully.
The repairing process
In the final stage, the professionals providing the cracked or cornice ceiling repair in Perth will make the rough patches smooth with a sponge. However, this process might create a lot of debris so to remove them properly later on; the professionals might put another plastic cover in the ground.
Sometimes, depending on the depth of the crack, the repairers can apply another coat of mud to make your wall smoother.
Applying the coat of paint
When the crack has been fully repaired, the professionals will move to the next step which is applying the paint and after the application of the paint, your ceiling might look a bit odd because the colour of the repaired area will look more prominent than the other parts. But with time, as more dust accumulates, it will match the other parts of the ceiling.
Drying the paint
The final process that marks the end of the cracked ceiling repair in Perth is to let the paint dry and testing the integrity of the paint as well as the applied drywall.
The professionals will check both of these with his bare hands but before this, as we just mentioned, all of these can be done only after the paint has dried fully.
So, this is an overview of the steps required for repairing the cracks in the ceiling. But please note that the actual process is quite long.
