Plastering in Elermore Vale.

What plastering looks like in Elermore Vale

At the 2021 Census, 79% of the 2,298 occupied homes in Elermore Vale were separate houses, 19% were semi-detached houses, terraces or townhouses and 2% were flats or apartments. It became a residential suburb in the 1900s after years of farming and coal mining, and knock-down rebuilds are becoming more common. That mix brings a spread of work: repairs, ceilings and renovations in the houses, and patching and sound-control linings in the townhouses and units.
