Pyrmont NSW 2009

Painting in Pyrmont

Pyrmont sits two kilometres from the CBD in the City of Sydney. Once a sandstone quarry and industrial suburb, it is now almost entirely apartments, with restored industrial buildings like The Cooperage and Tablet House and a handful of sandstone terraces along Harris Street.

That makes most Pyrmont work strata and commercial: facades, lobbies, stairwells, balconies and common areas, planned around residents and businesses. Scaffold or lifts are priced as their own line, and strata quotes follow the committee's scope.

We are members of the Strata Community Association (NSW) and registered with EBIX and Trades Monitor. Our nearest recent strata job is a full exterior repaint in Lilyfield.

What painting a Pyrmont home involves

Strata committees and managers

Quotes go to the strata manager and committee and work starts on an approved work order. Certificates of currency are supplied for every job, and our licence and insurance can be checked through EBIX and Trades Monitor.

Working around residents

Wet-paint signs, barriers and a drop zone under any work at height keep residents and visitors clear. Every painter working above 2 metres signs a site-specific Safe Work Method Statement, and the site is left safe every evening.

City of Sydney rules

The City of Sydney's repainting guidelines say you generally do not need permission to repaint a building in a heritage conservation area, but a heritage-listed building needs development consent or a written exemption first. Either way, face brick, tiles and stone are never painted, and decorative details are picked out rather than painted over in one colour.

Harbourside steel and balconies

Balustrades, railings and exposed steel near the water are cleaned back to sound metal, primed with a 2-pack epoxy where needed, and finished so rust does not bleed back through.

Every quote lists the preparation, product, coats and access for each surface. See how we quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Pyrmont homeowners, strata managers and business owners.

Yes. We quote to the strata manager and committee's scope, often taken from a building report, and start on an approved work order. Scaffold or lifts are a separate allowance, render and carpentry repairs are provisional sums at hourly rates, and progress claims follow the NSW Security of Payment Act.

Yes. We paint shops, offices and hospitality venues after hours and on weekends so the business keeps trading. It is priced as after-hours work on the quote, and we complete any site inductions and follow the building's rules alongside our own.

Usually not, unless it is a heritage item. The City of Sydney's heritage conservation area repainting guidelines say you do not need permission to repaint unless your building is heritage listed or in Millers Point or Dawes Point. A heritage-listed building needs development consent or a written exemption from the City. The guidelines also say not to paint face brickwork, tiles or stone. Check with the City's duty planner if you are unsure.

It depends on the size of the home, the condition of the surfaces, access and how much repair is needed, so we do not publish prices. Dougall comes out, measures every surface and sends a written, line-by-line quote, usually within about a week, at no charge. Our How We Quote page explains exactly what goes into the price.

Yes. We are based in Matraville and paint across Sydney, with most of our work in the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West and the North Shore. Call Dougall on 0438 300 403 to book a free on-site quote.
