Local detail

Working on Ballina homes

Much of Ballina is brick veneer and slab on ground, which makes for predictable stud spacing and easy masonry fixings, but newer estates around Cumbalum and Skennars Head bring hebel and lightweight cladding that need specific anchors. We carry both.

Riverfront and canal properties see steady humidity. Timber decks and external hardware age faster here, so we use coated fixings outside and check for movement in deck framing while we are there.

Do you service all of Ballina?

Yes, including East Ballina, West Ballina, Cumbalum, Skennars Head and Wollongbar, at the same prices as the rest of the Northern Rivers.

Can you do several jobs in one Ballina visit?

Send the list first. We will tell you honestly how many days it looks like, and the price is fixed before we start.

Can you fix into hebel walls in Cumbalum and Skennars Head?

Yes. Hebel needs its own anchors and we carry them. A standard plasterboard or masonry plug will pull out of hebel under load.

Do you do repairs for Ballina rental properties?

Yes, for owners and property managers. Send the list or the inspection report and we will tell you how many days it looks like.
