Water stains and sagging boards after a roof leak or burst pipe. We identify and fix the moisture source first, then repair the ceiling — preventing repeat damage.
A sagging ceiling indicates water saturation or failed fixings. We assess whether boards can be re-secured or need replacement before the ceiling comes down.
Peeling paint, efflorescence, and musty smells indicate damp penetration. We trace the source — rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation — and apply the correct treatment.
Damaged, crumbling, or asbestos-containing ceiling boards replaced with modern Rhino Board or similar — matched, skimmed, and painted to blend with the existing ceiling.

Fonster’s response to my initial enquiry was very quick, and the plumber phoned me shortly after. He was able to come within a hour and sorted my blocked drain quickly. I am very happy with the service.
Martmarie was great, their service was good.
I urgently needed a new automated entry gate. The previous one was old and rusted. Roelof Bruwer (RJ Projects) did an amazing job. The weather did prevent him from sticking to the original schedule but he kept me updated. He made a new gate and installed it. He even fixed the level of the track. It runs smoothly... beter than the previous gate. I would definitely recommend him.
We were very happy with Eugene
got very prompt and exemplary service from Eugene and will easily recommend him for sundry handy man repairs
Great personal service, which is rare these days. I had shelving erected in my garage and utility room. I couldn't fault them they did a great job and were very courteous.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Water-stained boards in good structural condition can often be treated and repainted. Sagging, bowing, or boards softened by prolonged moisture need to be replaced. We assess the ceiling and the moisture source before recommending repair vs. replacement — sometimes it is a combination of both.
Find and fix the source of the water first. Brown stains indicate moisture that has collected and dried, but the entry point is rarely directly above the stain. Common causes include a roof leak, blocked gutters overflowing against the fascia, or a plumbing leak. Repainting over a stain without fixing the source guarantees it will return.
Minor repairs — patching plaster cracks and painting — can be done in a day. Replacing water-damaged boards, applying skim plaster, and painting typically takes 2–3 days depending on drying time. We advise on realistic timelines during the assessment so you can plan accordingly.
Yes — we coordinate both. Repairing the ceiling before fixing the source is a waste of money. We identify and fix or refer out the water source (roofing, plumbing, waterproofing) and only proceed with the ceiling repair once the moisture issue is resolved. This is the correct sequence and we enforce it.
Yes. Rising damp in walls is often related to the same water ingress that damages ceilings. We treat damp walls using appropriate products for the type of damp (rising damp vs. penetrating damp) and repair or repaint the affected surface once the moisture is controlled.
