Why Choose Us for Strata Painting

Clear Project Coordination

Strata painting involves coordination with the relevant committee, manager or body corporate representative. The included surfaces, access requirements and work sequence are established before painting begins. Clear planning helps keep decisions and project responsibilities organised.

Staged Resident Access

Common areas may need to remain accessible while preparation and painting are underway. Work can be divided into sections to manage entrances, corridors, stairwells and shared facilities. Drying areas and temporary restrictions are considered during scheduling.

Consistent Property Finishes

Colours and coatings are coordinated across repeated doors, walls, trim and exterior elements. Existing schemes can be matched or updated according to the approved project requirements. Consistent application helps maintain a unified appearance throughout the property.

Preparation for Shared Spaces

Common areas often show scuffs, marks, fading and coating wear from regular use. Surfaces are cleaned, repaired, sanded or primed where required before repainting. Preparation is adjusted for internal, external and high-contact surfaces.

Common Area Painting

Common area painting can cover entrances, foyers, corridors, stairwells, landings and shared rooms. Finishes are selected according to traffic levels, cleaning needs and existing building features. Work zones are staged to preserve access where practical while coatings dry.

Apartment Exterior Painting

Exterior painting can include façades, balconies, eaves, doors, trim and other common property surfaces. Existing coatings are checked for fading, peeling, chalking and weather-related deterioration. Preparation and product selection are adjusted to the substrate and Newcastle’s coastal exposure.

Townhouse Complex Repainting

Townhouse complex repainting coordinates colours and finishes across multiple dwellings and shared features. The project may include exterior walls, fences, garage doors, entries and communal structures. Dividing the work into building or property sections helps manage access and maintain consistent progress.

Our Strata Painting Process


Step 1: Property and Scope Assessment

The property is assessed to identify included buildings, surfaces and access conditions. Existing coating failure, high-use areas and preparation needs are documented. These details help define the scope for review and approval.

Step 2: Colour and Coating Planning

Colours and coating systems are selected according to the approved scheme and surface requirements. Existing building finishes, repeated elements and exterior exposure are considered. Final selections are confirmed before materials are prepared.

Step 3: Access and Surface Preparation

Work areas are arranged around resident movement, shared entries and property access. Surfaces are cleaned, repaired, sanded, scraped or primed according to their condition. Nearby property features are protected before application begins.

Step 4: Staged Paint Application

Paint is applied in planned zones using methods suited to each surface and location. Required drying periods are allowed before access restrictions are changed or work moves to adjoining areas. Coverage and colours are kept consistent across repeated property elements.

Step 5: Inspection and Area Reopening

Completed areas are checked for coverage, clean lines and unfinished details. Protective materials and preparation debris are removed from each work zone. Access is restored after the relevant coatings are ready and the area has been cleared.

Strata and Body Corporate Painting FAQs

How much does strata painting cost in Newcastle?

Strata painting costs depend on the number of buildings, included surfaces, access and preparation requirements. High areas, extensive coating failure and staged work can increase the project scope. A property assessment provides the details needed to prepare an estimate for approval.

What areas are included in strata painting?

Strata painting may include common areas, exterior walls, stairwells, corridors, doors, fences and shared facilities. The exact areas depend on the property boundaries and approved project scope. Individual lot interiors are generally treated separately unless they are specifically included.

Can strata painting be completed while residents remain onsite?

Strata painting can often be completed while residents remain onsite when access and work zones are properly managed. Entrances, corridors and common areas may be painted in stages to reduce disruption. Residents should follow temporary access restrictions while preparation and coatings are underway.

Who approves the colours for a strata painting project?

Strata painting colours are generally approved by the authorised committee, body corporate or property representative. Existing schemes may be retained, colour-matched or updated as part of the project decision. Final approval should be documented before paint is ordered and applied.

How long does a strata painting project take?

A strata painting project may take several days or weeks depending on the property size and scope. Surface preparation, weather, resident access, building height and drying time can affect the schedule. A staged work plan can be prepared after the property has been assessed.
