Interior painting in Dover Heights

Dover Heights 2030 mid-century homes typically have original 1960s glaze paint that's brittle and chips when sanded. Prep here calls for a different approach than standard residential painting.

What's included

  • ✓Wall, ceiling, trim, door, and window painting
  • ✓Fill, sand, and prime existing wall damage
  • ✓Low-VOC, low-odour paint systems (Dulux Wash & Wear, Taubmans Endure)
  • ✓Drop sheets, daily clean-down, full rubbish removal

Dover Heights context

What interior painting looks like in Dover Heights

Original glaze paint in Dover Heights mid-century homes was applied thick and has hardened to a brittle film over six decades. Sanding chips the film at the patch perimeter; we feather wider than standard, sometimes 250mm beyond a hole rather than the normal 150mm. East-facing rooms see salt residue accumulation through windows; we sugar-soap wash before primer. New rebuilds along the cliff use modern acrylic systems that take standard prep without surprise.

Our process — same standard, every booking

  1. 1

    Prep is half the job

    Holes filled, cracks raked out, surfaces sanded and dust-vacuumed. Cheap quotes skip this — the paint then peels.

  2. 2

    Cut and roll

    Two coats minimum on walls, three on ceilings if needed.

  3. 3

    Inspect at handover

    We walk every wall with you in daylight before invoicing — anything missed gets fixed.
