Weatherboards, period homes and lead paint

Melbourne has many weatherboard houses and period homes whose exteriors need scraping, filling and priming before any new coat goes on. Homes painted before 1970 may have lead in the old layers, so sanding needs care: ask the painter how they will contain dust and old paint. Exterior work also depends on the weather — paint needs dry days, which Melbourne doesn't always supply.

Before you hire a painter in Melbourne

  • Send photos of the rooms or exterior walls, including any peeling or water stains.

  • Confirm who supplies the paint and how floors and furniture will be protected.
  • Put the rooms, surfaces and finish in the written scope before work starts.

Common questions

What time of year suits exterior painting in Melbourne?
Mild, dry stretches in spring, summer and early autumn are easiest, because paint needs dry surfaces and suitable temperatures to cure. Ask the painter how rain days are handled in the schedule.
Do I need a painter for a small patch?
A small mark may only need touch-up paint. Larger patches can show through if the wall is not filled, sanded and colour matched, so send a photo before deciding.
Why is preparation important before painting?
Loose paint, holes and stains can spoil a new coat. Ask whether cleaning, patching, sanding and primer are included for your surfaces.
