Crisp modern tray-profile plaster ceiling with cove lighting in a bright contemporary living room
01 — Profile & Finish

A profile chosen for your room, not a brochure.

Flat, tray and box-up plaster ceilings each suit different room heights and design goals. We walk you through the real trade-offs — cost, ceiling depth, install time — before you commit to one, rather than upselling the most expensive profile by default.

  • ✦Tailored ceiling profilesFlat, tray or box-up plaster ceilings sized to your room's height and layout — never a one-size-fits-all mould pulled from a supplier catalogue.
  • ✦Clean, modern finishesCrisp lines and hand-stopped joints suited to contemporary new-builds as much as renovated older terrace and semi-D homes.
  • ✦Paint-ready hand finishingEvery ceiling is skim-coated, sanded and primed so your painter — or our own finishing crew — can go straight to topcoat.

02 — How We Get There

Measured on site, not quoted over the phone.

Every plaster ceiling project starts with us walking your room, not a generic figure emailed sight unseen. Where an old, failing ceiling needs to come down first, that's handled as part of the same visit and the same quote.

  • ✦A measured site visit before quotingWe come to you first. Beam positions, ceiling height, aircon ducting and existing wiring all get measured before a single figure is quoted.
  • ✦Old ceiling removal & disposalWhere the existing plaster, plywood or PVC ceiling needs to come down first, we strip and haul it away as part of the same job.
  • ✦A contractor who visits siteA plaster ceiling contractor near you across KL, Puchong, Shah Alam and Kepong — we measure before we quote, not after.

Signs You Need This

When a plaster ceiling
is worth it.

Most enquiries come from one of a handful of situations. If any of these sound familiar, a site visit is the next sensible step.

01
Your ceiling is still bare concrete slabNew-build units and gutted renovations are often left with an exposed concrete soffit — uneven, cold-looking, and showing every formwork mark until a ceiling goes in.
02
Cracking, sagging or water-stained plasterHairline cracks along joints, a ceiling that has started to sag, or old water-stain patches usually mean the board or skim coat has failed and needs replacing, not just repainting.
03
You want to hide beams, ducting or wiringStructural beams, aircon trunking and exposed conduit are common in older Klang Valley homes — a box-up or bulkhead ceiling folds them out of sight.
04
You are combining or reshaping roomsKnocking down a wall between two rooms almost always leaves a mismatched ceiling line that needs re-plastering to read as one continuous space.
05
You are renovating before a sale or rentalA tired popcorn or stained ceiling is one of the first things buyers and tenants notice — often a higher-return fix than new flooring alone.
Our Process

From site visit
to final coat.

A plaster ceiling installation typically runs seven to fourteen working days, depending on the number of rooms and how much needs to come down first.

01

Site Measurement

We visit and measure ceiling height, beam positions, ducting and existing damage before quoting a fixed price.

02

Profile & Layout

You choose flat, tray, cove or box-up — mapped against your actual floor plan, not a generic diagram.

03

Framing & Boarding

Metal furring channels go up first, then gypsum board is cut, fixed and taped, coordinated with your electrician where needed.

04

Skim Coat & Handover

A hand-applied skim coat, sanding and a final walkthrough with you before the crew leaves site.

Materials & Specifications

What actually goes
into the ceiling.

We spec materials to the room, not a single default — a bathroom and a living room don't call for the same board.

01
Gypsum board, 9mm or 12mmStandard board for most living areas and bedrooms; 12mm is specified for longer ceiling spans or where extra rigidity is needed.
02
Moisture-resistant board for wet areasBathrooms, kitchens and laundry areas use MR-rated board to resist humidity-driven sagging and mould.
03
Galvanised metal furring & carrying channelsThe support framework is metal, not timber battens, for a straighter, longer-lasting ceiling that won’t warp with humidity.
04
Flat, tray, cove and box-up profilesFrom a plain flat ceiling to a stepped tray with cove lighting recesses — profile choice affects both look and installed cost.
05
Joint tape, compound & skim finishFibre joint tape and multi-coat compound before the final skim, so board joints don’t telegraph through paint later.
Where We Work

Plaster ceiling contractor,
near you.

We survey and install across the Klang Valley — typically on site within days of your enquiry, not weeks.

Kuala Lumpur →

From condo renovations in the city centre to landed homes in Bangsar and Bukit Tunku, we work around building management access rules and lift-lobby booking slots.

Petaling Jaya →

PJ’s older SS and Section terrace homes are a steady source of ceiling replacements — stripping out a sagging plywood ceiling before a flat or tray plaster profile goes in.

Puchong →

A high volume of our enquiries come from Puchong renovations — terrace and semi-D homes needing a full ceiling replacement after a gut renovation.

Shah Alam →

Both new-build handover units and older Shah Alam sections come to us — new units for first-fit ceilings, older ones for replacement.

Kepong →

Kepong’s mix of older landed homes means ceiling jobs here often start with removing a failing plywood or PVC ceiling first.

Pricing Factors

What affects
the cost.

Our rates start from RM3.50 per sq ft for a plain 9mm ceiling (see the full price list in our price guide). These are the factors that move the final number most.

01
Total ceiling areaThe single biggest driver — measured per room, since board, framing and labour all scale with square footage.
02
Ceiling height & accessHigh ceilings, stairwells or restricted lift access add scaffolding or extra labour time.
03
Profile complexityA flat ceiling costs less than a tray or box-up profile with multiple levels and cove recesses.
04
Existing ceiling removalStripping out an old plywood, PVC or failed plaster ceiling adds a day of demolition and disposal before installation starts.
05
Electrical & aircon coordinationCeilings built around cove lighting, downlights or aircon trunking need extra coordination time with your electrician.
06
Paint & finish levelA standard skim-and-prime finish is included; a fully painted handover is quoted separately.
Common Questions

Plaster ceiling
questions, answered.

How much does a plaster ceiling cost in KL or Selangor?

Our published rates start at RM3.50 per sq ft for a plain 9mm ceiling (jobs of 800 sq ft or more) and RM3.70 per sq ft for a 2×4 system, with L-box at RM13 and light troughs at RM15 per running ft. The final price depends on area, profile and whether an old ceiling needs to come down first, and is fixed after a free site visit — our online calculator gives a ballpark before that.

How long does installation take?

A single room typically takes two to four working days; a full home renovation with multiple rooms usually runs seven to fourteen working days, depending on profile complexity and site access.

Do you remove the old ceiling as part of the job?

Yes. Where the existing plaster, plywood or PVC ceiling needs to be stripped out first, we handle removal and disposal as part of the same project rather than treating it as a separate contractor’s job.

Is plaster ceiling installation dusty or messy?

Board cutting and sanding do produce dust. We sheet off the work area, use dust extraction where possible, and clean down before we leave each day — see our partition and aftercare pages for how we manage site cleanliness more broadly.

Do you serve Puchong, Shah Alam and Kepong, or only central KL?

We survey and install across the whole Klang Valley, including Puchong, Shah Alam, Kepong and greater Selangor, not just central Kuala Lumpur.

What’s the difference between a plaster ceiling and a PVC ceiling?

PVC panels are lightweight, snap-fit and quicker to install, but read as a false ceiling and can’t take a fully seamless painted finish. A plaster (gypsum board and skim coat) ceiling gives a continuous, joint-free surface that takes paint like a wall — the trade-off is a longer install time.

Bahasa Melayu

Soalan lazim tentang siling plaster.

Berapa harga pasang siling plaster?

Siling plaster rata 9mm bermula RM3.50 sekaki persegi (kerja 800 kaki persegi ke atas) dan sistem siling 2′×4′ RM3.70 sekaki persegi. L-box RM13 dan light trough RM15 sekaki panjang. Harga akhir disahkan selepas lawatan tapak percuma.

Berapa lama masa untuk memasang siling plaster?

Satu bilik biasanya siap dalam dua hingga empat hari bekerja. Renovasi seluruh rumah biasanya mengambil tujuh hingga empat belas hari bekerja, bergantung pada reka bentuk dan akses ke tapak.

Apakah beza siling plaster dan siling PVC?

Panel PVC ringan dan cepat dipasang, tetapi kelihatan seperti siling palsu dan tidak boleh dicat dengan kemasan licin. Siling plaster (papan gipsum dengan lapisan skim) memberikan permukaan licin tanpa sambungan yang boleh dicat seperti dinding.

Adakah anda membuka siling lama?

Ya. Jika siling plaster, papan lapis atau PVC sedia ada perlu dibuka dahulu, kami uruskan kerja membuka dan membuang sisa dalam projek yang sama. Kosnya disahkan semasa lawatan tapak.
