We have had a washing machine installed upstairs (due to young kids) and need some small gyprocking done and painting. These holes are quite small. The larger hole we require a paintable access panel installed so we can access the plumbing in the event of a leak. The access panel is about 450 x 400. The 2 holes in the wardrobe one needs plaster and the one needs gyprock from a cut hole from plumber, both are small. We want all the 3 painted if required (Not sure if the access panel will fix exactly or need some gyprocking.
