Living in Western Australia means dealing with unique environmental challenges like the land being mostly sand and extreme weather, which cause natural movement and material expansion or contraction. This often leads to those pesky cracks under your cornices (which is the weak spot between your ceiling and wall).
Trust Authentic Additions to help you address these issues with professional, honest solutions. 🏡✨

Installing Gyprock or plasterboard might seem simple, but a rough or incorrect installation can lead to ongoing cracks, visible joins and extra maintenance down the track.

For a clean, professional finish, the boards need to be installed properly, secured correctly, flushed tightly and sanded once dry. It’s the kind of detail that makes all the difference once the wall is painted.

At Authentic Additions, we’ve seen plenty of DIY 🛠️ mishaps over the years. Read our blog for some tips on how to get a professional finish.

If you’re unsure about any part of your wall installation, getting professionals like us, involved can save you time, stress and costly repairs later.

Installing Gyprock or plasterboard on walls may look an easy task, but we can assure you that it’s not that simple.

It's a common myth and one we get asked so often
"It's only a small job, is it too small for you to want to do?"

There isn't any job too small. If truth was known, we like these smaller ones as often they aren't as straightforward as some, and require some on the spot thinking and problem solving.

All we ask is you take a couple of photos and send them across to us and we'll assess and go from there.
