Sound familiar?

If any of this is you, you're not alone. Here's what we hear every week from Northern Beaches homeowners:

“Original Federation cornice. Cracked at the corners. I don't want a cheap modern replacement — I want my house to look right.”

— Heritage owner pride

“Painter says the cornice needs to come off before he can paint. I need a second opinion before I let him touch it.”

— Tradie disagreement

“Selling the house in six weeks. Cornice is chipped and crumbling in the hallway. Open homes start soon.”

— Pre-sale deadline

We hear you. Here's exactly how it works — fixed price, profile-matched, paint-ready.

The crack at the corner — gone.

The sagging detail — gone.

The cheap-looking chip you've been embarrassed about — gone.

Your home's character — back where it should be.

★★★★★

Federation home, original cornice deteriorating. Jack matched the profile perfectly — even the painter couldn't tell which sections we'd replaced.

★★★★★

Quoted for a full replacement by another tradie. Jack came round, said it was just a corner repair, fixed it for a fifth of the price. Honest.

Cornice repair — your questions

The questions we get most often before quoting a cornice job.

How much does cornice repair cost in Sydney?+
Most cornice crack and gap repairs sit between $290 and $600 per room. A full cornice replacement (5 lineal metres, modern profile) is usually $480–$850. Heritage / Federation profile replacement starts around $980. Bundle multiple rooms and the per-room rate drops. Every quote is fixed-price and written.
Can you match my heritage cornice profile?+
Yes — we match Federation, Victorian and Edwardian profiles. We carry the common pre-cast profiles, and for unique heritage detail we can source or hand-form to match. Send a photo at the quote stage so we know what we're matching.
How long does cornice repair take?+
Most single-room cornice repairs are completed in one visit (3–5 hours). Full-room replacement is typically a single day. Heritage profile matching with sourcing may need a second visit 5–10 days after the quote.
My cornice is just cracking at the corner — repair or replace?+
Corner cracking from house movement is usually a repair, not a replace. We fill, feather, re-bond and paint-ready the section. Cost is much lower than replacement. Send a photo and we'll tell you straight at the quote stage which is the better call.
What if the repair fails or cracks?+
Our 2-year written workmanship guarantee covers any cracking, lifting or finish failure caused by our work. Jack comes back and fixes it free.
Are you NSW Fair Trading licensed?+
Yes — Jack is a NSW Fair Trading licensed plasterer. Licence number provided in writing with every quote, verifiable at service.nsw.gov.au.
Do you do square-set / shadowline (no cornice) finishes too?+
Yes — modern square-set ceilings are a common ask, especially in renovations. Quote and pricing different to cornice; mention it on the call so we plan correctly.
My painter says the cornice needs to be removed before painting — can you advise?+
Yes — we look at the cornice and tell you straight whether it needs replacement, just a patch, or whether the painter is being overly cautious. No-cost honest opinion at the quote stage.
