Commercial painters in Melbourne

Interior and exterior painting for offices, schools, clinics, shops, strata and industrial buildings in Melbourne, staged so the site keeps running.

The CBD is one of the places where Commercial Painters has the most active sites. Work in the Hoddle Grid runs from office floors and lobbies in the towers to shopfronts, arcades, hotels and the older buildings along the laneways.

Most of it is interior work done out of hours: an office floor repainted overnight or over a weekend so it opens on Monday as normal, or a vacant floor turned around between one tenant leaving and the next fitting out.

Every job starts with a visit to the building, so the scope, the condition of the surfaces, access and your working hours are settled before a price is.

Melbourne building stock

CBD office towers, lobbies and retail podiums, Docklands and Southbank high-rise, nineteenth-century masonry laneway buildings and corner hotels, the Parkville hospital and university precinct, and converted warehousing at Kensington and North Melbourne.

Inside the city the paint is rarely the hard part. Loading dock and lift bookings, building management inductions, hoarding and street occupation consents and strict after-hours noise limits decide what a shift can achieve, and the older frontages carry so many previous coating layers that adhesion testing is worth doing before anything is specified.

Commercial painting services in Melbourne

Interior and exterior, run by one team. Most jobs draw on more than one line of work: an exterior that needs its render repaired first, or an office repaint that ends up including the patching.

  • Interior painting

    Interior work in occupied buildings — offices, classrooms, wards and retail floors — staged so the space keeps working.

    • Walls and ceilings
    • Doors, frames and joinery
    • Corridors and high-traffic wall zones
  • Exterior painting

    Exterior systems specified for UV, moisture and temperature movement, with access planned per elevation.

    • Render, brick and precast concrete
    • Roof and roof plant
    • Fascias, gutters and eaves
  • Office painting

    Workplace repaints programmed around business hours so staff keep working through the job.

    • Open-plan floors and meeting rooms
    • Kitchens, common areas and bathrooms
    • Patching and making good
  • Protective and specialist coatings

    Systems for industrial substrates where the coating is doing a protective job, not a decorative one.

    • Concrete and tilt-panel
    • Structural steel
    • Colorbond and metal cladding
  • Painting for builders and head contractors

    Painting delivered into a construction programme — staged to the build, sequenced around other trades, and carried through to handover.

    • New-build painting packages
    • Staged painting to a construction programme
    • Defect rectification and touch-up painting before handover
  • Repairs and making good

    Patching, plastering, rendering, tiling and flooring run in the same programme as the painting, so one team answers for the whole job.

    • Patching and plastering
    • Render repairs
    • Tiling and flooring

    “I have been working with Reece for a number of weeks, maybe months, to begin works on having our building painted. Our store had seen better days and Reece and his team worked around many of my setbacks with the utmost professionalism. Reece was receptive and quick to communicate via phone or email. The team got the job done quickly and even went back in to do some final touch ups a day or two after. I can’t thank Reece and the team enough. We appreciate you bringing our building and our store back to life!”

    Before you enquire

    Do you work in Melbourne?

    Yes. Melbourne is 27km from our Bayswater North base, a drive of 20 to 40 minutes. It sits in the Melbourne council area, part of Inner Melbourne, and the postcode is 3000 or 3004.

    Can the building stay open while it is painted?

    Usually, yes. Work is staged after hours, at weekends, in school holidays or one zone at a time, and each area is cleaned down and handed back as it is finished. Low-VOC systems are standard in occupied workplaces.

    How is a commercial painting job priced?

    After a site visit, as an itemised written quote covering labour, materials and scheduling, per site where the work spans several buildings. Repairs are priced on separate lines from the painting, so you can see what is remediation and what is finish.

    What happens at the free site assessment?

    We visit the building to check the areas involved, the condition of the surfaces, access and the hours contractors are allowed on site. It costs nothing and comes before any price, because preparation is the largest variable in a painting job and cannot be judged from a photograph.

    What warranty do you give?

    Five years on workmanship, backed by our standing as a Dulux Accredited Painter. It covers peeling, flaking and blistering, which is why preparation and application are settled on site rather than assumed.
