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.

Exterior Painting
Beachfront paint jobs fail fast when generic systems are used. We use oil-based primers, salt-tolerant exterior 100% acrylic top coats, and treat any rust on metal trims before we paint over it. Built for Bondi's salt-air microclimate.
Feature Wall Painting
Deep colours, blacks, and bold tones are unforgiving — every roller mark and cut-in shows. We prep, prime in tinted base, and apply two even coats so a feature wall reads as designed, not patchy.
Ceiling Repairs
Water stains from bathroom leaks, sagging plaster on hot Bondi summers, popped screws across new gyprock, cracks running across an old fibrous-plaster ceiling — we diagnose, repair, and refinish.
Plaster Crack Repair
Cracks in Bondi walls and ceilings come from two places — building movement and bad joints. We rake out, reinforce with mesh tape and flexible filler, and finish so the crack doesn't reopen at the next seasonal shift.
