Lead-safe preparation
Aligned with Queensland guidance for pre-1970 homes.
Detail-led sanding
Hand work around fretwork, brackets and decorative timberwork.
Timber repair
Replacement of rotten weatherboards, sash frames, sills and fascia.

3-coat exterior systems
Specified for Queensland UV, humidity and the local microclimate.
Weatherboard Full Repaints in 4011
Full weatherboard repaints are one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of a Clayfield home. We pressure clean, scrape and sand failing coatings back to a sound substrate, spot-prime bare timber, fill and caulk every joint, then apply two premium finish coats for an even, durable result.

Board & trim replacement
Damaged weatherboards and timber trim swapped out as needed.
Premium 3-coat system
Primer plus two finish coats — Dulux Weathershield, Taubmans All Weather or equivalent.
Whole envelope included
Eaves, soffits, fascia, barge boards, gutters, downpipes, windows and doors.
Site protection
Gardens, paths and outdoor furniture covered, masked and protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you specialise in Clayfield character homes?
Yes — Clayfield 4011 has a dense stock of interwar bungalows, Queenslanders and 1930s brick-and-tile character homes. Almost all of the pre-1946 stock is inside the Traditional Building Character overlay.
How do you handle the Character overlay in Clayfield?
Exterior colours on pre-1946 Clayfield homes need to sit within a heritage-appropriate palette. We specify from Dulux Heritage and Porter's, and hand you painted sample boards on site before you commit to a scheme.
Can you strip lead paint safely on Clayfield homes?
Yes. Pre-1970 Clayfield homes routinely have lead-based coatings. We follow lead-safe practices — HEPA vacuums, wet scraping, sealed drop-sheets, no dry sanding or open-flame stripping.
Do you paint interwar leadlight and stained-glass window frames?
Regularly. Leadlight and stained-glass frames are hand-scraped, primed with an oil-based bonding primer and finished in an enamel — with the glass masked and protected throughout.
Do you refresh 1930s tiled bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Tiled bathrooms and kitchens can be refreshed with a tile-suitable etch primer and hard-wearing enamel topcoat — a fraction of the cost of retiling with a durable finish.
What's the price band for a Clayfield character exterior?
Full-exterior repaints on Clayfield character homes usually land $14k–$26k depending on lead-safe scope, timber repair and access.
