Our approach
Adelaide has some of Australia’s finest heritage streetscapes — from the bluestone cottages of Norwood to the grand Victorian villas of Burnside and Unley. Getting the paint right on these homes matters. The wrong product on original lime render or soft sandstone can cause damage that is costly to reverse.
We approach every heritage job with a site inspection first. We identify the surface type, assess adhesion and existing paint condition, and select a coating system that is appropriate — breathable where the wall needs it, flexible where movement is a factor, and colour-matched to period tones where that is the brief. Preparation is always meticulous: hand-scraping, fine sanding and careful masking of irreplaceable details.
Common questions
Can you match heritage period colours?
Yes. We work with period-appropriate colour palettes and can colour-match to existing original paint, council heritage guidelines or your own brief. We are happy to discuss options before the quote is finalised.
Do you work on State or Local Heritage-listed homes?
Yes. We understand the care required on heritage-listed properties and carry out work to a standard that respects the original materials and character of the building. We recommend confirming any colour or finish changes with your local council heritage officer before work begins.
What happens if the existing paint is lead-based?
Older properties may have lead-based paint. We carry out safe removal and surface preparation in line with current Australian standards, using appropriate PPE, containment and disposal procedures.
