How to Fix Flaking Paint and Mould on Your Ceilings for Good
Peeling ceiling paint, plaster damage, and black mould are common issues in South-West Sydney homes, typically caused by moisture or leaks. Painting directly over damaged surfaces without proper treatment or smoothing will cause the new coat to fail. Grand Design Painting follows a comprehensive 5-step preparation and restoration process to treat mould, repair plaster, and ensure a completely smooth ceiling finish across Camden, Campbelltown, and the Macarthur region.
The 5-Step Plaster & Ceiling Restoration Process
Step 1: Find and Fix the Source of Moisture:
Identify and resolve the underlying leak or ventilation issue before starting repairs.
Step 2: Kill the Mould Spores Completely:
Treat affected areas with a professional mould killer solution and allow the plaster to dry thoroughly.
Step 3: Scrape, Patch, and Sand for a Smooth Surface:
Remove all unstable, flaking paint down to the sound base. For any gouges, cracks, or water-damaged plaster indentations, we apply premium multi-stage plaster patching compounds. Once cured, the entire surface is carefully sanded and feathered smooth until it is flush and completely seamless.
Step 4: Apply a Specialty Stain-Blocking Primer:
Use an oil-based or specialised primer like zinsser coverstain to seal the porous raw plaster patches and permanently lock in stubborn water stains.
Step 5: Repaint with a Premium Moisture-Resistant Finish:
Finish with anti-microbial products like Dulux Wash&Wear® Kitchen & Bathroom or Taubmans Easycoat to inhibit future fungal growth.
Why Choose a Licensed Professional?
Managing toxic mould, scraping loose debris, and executing flush plaster repairs on a ladder can be hazardous and messy. Hiring a licensed contractor ensures proper safety gear, flat plaster patching, and professional trade guarantees.
