Painters in Fremantle.
Heritage limestone, jarrah weatherboard and a heritage overlay that decides your colours before you do.
The housing
What we're usually painting in Fremantle
One of the densest concentrations of Victorian, Federation and early workers' cottages in Western Australia, plus warehouse conversions through the west end and post-war infill in Beaconsfield and White Gum Valley.
Common substrates
- Limestone block, some of it unpainted and best kept that way
- Jarrah weatherboard
- Lime render and lime mortar
- Corrugated iron verandah roofs
- Cast iron lacework
What the weather does here
Coastal salt from the west, and the Fremantle Doctor driving it inland every afternoon. Southern elevations hold damp and grow mould in winter; northern elevations chalk out under summer UV.
Worth knowing
The Fremantle specific bit
A large part of Fremantle sits inside a heritage area, and colour schemes on a contributing property can need approval from the City. We quote on the basis of the scheme that will actually get approved rather than the one that looks good on the swatch, and we have worked to period palettes often enough to know which greens and reds the assessors expect.
