Hawthorn's grand Victorian mansions, leafy streets around Glenferrie Road and proximity to the Yarra River give it a distinguished character. MAJIK WALL applies polished plaster by hand, layering fine coats into smooth, luminous walls that suit formal reception rooms, hallways and modern extensions. The finish is durable, easy to clean and suits both heritage rooms and modern kitchens and living areas.
Historic Hawthorn homes commonly show cracks, water damage and old repairs. We repair plasterboard carefully and blend it into the original surface. For a statement finish, Venetian plaster provides a deep, marble-like gloss that suits grand living and dining rooms. We also match existing textures and profiles so repairs stay invisible even under raking light.
Hawthorn renovations often mix heritage restoration with contemporary additions. Our decorative plastering adds texture and dimension to feature walls, while plasterboard installation creates new walls, ceilings and extensions with straight lines and tight joins, ready for painting. We can also detail arches, alcoves and window reveals, which are common in Hawthorn's period homes.



Hawthorn's period homes often feature elaborate ceiling details. We install cornices that suit each era and repair existing sections so new work blends in. Our ceiling plastering fixes stains, cracks and sagging, leaving smooth surfaces that highlight fine detail. Careful measuring and pattern matching ensure new cornices flow seamlessly into original sections.
Marmorino plaster gives Hawthorn interiors a subtle, stone-like softness, pairing well with heritage features. Lime plaster is a breathable finish for solid masonry walls, adding authentic mineral depth. Both are hand-applied and tinted to suit your colour scheme. Sample panels can be prepared on site so you can judge colour and sheen before the whole wall is done.
Preparation is critical in older Hawthorn homes. We remove failing coatings, patch cracks, treat moisture-affected areas and prime surfaces before new plaster goes on. Our wall and ceiling repairs address movement and past alterations, ensuring a lasting result. We also check for hidden issues such as loose sheeting or historic water damage before any new finish is applied.
Many Hawthorn homes have walls that have been repainted and patched repeatedly. Skimming applies a thin plaster coat to remove those irregularities, giving you a flat, refined base that takes paint and wallpaper beautifully.
