Hi, we just noticed that our garage roof/ceiling seems to slowly Sloping down ( not inline anymore ).Beside building inspector, any other tradie can help fixing / investigating the cause ? It may be due to land movement. Thanks.

If its an older house they can start to do that.. either pay a carpenter/builder or get some nails and a hammer and follow the studs.. I've done it at my old place pretty easy
Thanks for reply . Im not that handy and not so sure abt the risk of fixing it Myself . Here are some pics to describe the condition better.
That doesn't look too bad doubt its land movement as you would see alot of cracking everywhere in the plaster and also in the brick work out side, a carpenter/builder can pin the gyprock back to the studs, sort it out sooner than later as more will start to become undone due to the weight
Thanks a lot for reply.So contact carpenter or plasterer to fix it? Not too sure who to call haha.Thanks again
Photo to show us?
English to describe it better?
Ceiling replacement for double garage including taking away old gyprock and 2 coats of paint ~$3k.
more screws.
need to take away the cornices too, maybe have a right angle flashing screwed against the gyprock then glue the cornices back.
do it sooner, the gyprock sheet might not want to bend back.Thanks for reply.I'm not sure which type of tradie I should call.Plasterer? Thanks
How old is house?
Older places used normal gyprock so over time moisture gets into the gyprock, making it heavier and so this happens.
Rescrew or replace sagging area.About 13 years old.I'm not sure which type of tradie I should call.Plasterer? Thanks
Yes - only some will do replacement (very dusty).
Thanks, we re contacting a plasterer. Hopefully we can fix it rather than replacing. Thanks again.
