However if it is a very large or deep crack call in the plasterer from Concord – if you try and repair the crack yourself it could look lumpy, a large repair is best handled by professionals from Sydney Wide Plastering.
• NAIL POPS – This happens in newer homes and happens when the nail head starts to pop out through the paint or the gyprock tape on the wall. The gyprock panel itself won’t fall off the wall even after the nail has popped out but it is important to get a professional plasterer repairer from Concord to look at it for you.
• CORNER BEADS – Corners that are on the outer areas have an edging that is made from plastic or wood, this edging is called a corner bead. While the bead doesn’t often get damaged if it is knocked hard the covering could come off. You may find a hard blow also dents the edging.
• HOLES – A hole in your wall, especially one near any wiring should be fixed immediately.
