How we work
Our wallpaper removal & installation process
- 1
Strip carefully
Steam and score so the gyprock surface comes through intact.
- 2
Skim flat
Skim coat, sand, and prime so paper has a clean substrate.
- 3
Hang plumb
First drop is the hardest — laser line, plumb, and patient.
Local context
Bondi homes from the '70s and '80s often have heavily textured wallpaper that's been painted over multiple times. Removal is a project — we're upfront about that in the quote.
Wallpaper Removal & Installation questions, answered
Do you supply the wallpaper?
No — you choose and order. We measure and quote installation only.Will removing old wallpaper damage my walls?
Some surface damage is common. We factor a skim coat into removal quotes for that reason.

Feature Wall Painting
Deep colours, blacks, and bold tones are unforgiving — every roller mark and cut-in shows. We prep, prime in tinted base, and apply two even coats so a feature wall reads as designed, not patchy.
Interior Painting
We paint Bondi homes the way the trim work should be done — full prep, gap-fill, sand, prime, two topcoats. Drop sheets on every floor, daily clean-down, low-VOC paints so you can sleep in the room the same night.
Gyprock Repair
Doorknob holes, furniture damage, plumbing-access cuts, and the inevitable removalist gouge — we patch gyprock invisibly. Three coats of compound, sanded flat, primed, ready for paint or handed back paint-ready for your decorator.
Plaster Crack Repair
Cracks in Bondi walls and ceilings come from two places — building movement and bad joints. We rake out, reinforce with mesh tape and flexible filler, and finish so the crack doesn't reopen at the next seasonal shift.
