Painters in Girrawheen.
1970s brick and tile on generous blocks, and the suburb next door to us.
The housing
What we're usually painting in Girrawheen
Almost uniformly 1970s brick-and-tile, built out in a single wave, with mature gardens and an increasing number of rear-lot subdivisions.
Common substrates
- Face brick, much of it since painted
- Cement sheet eaves and gable infill
- Timber fascia, barge boards and pergolas
- Concrete roof tiles
- Steel-framed windows on the earliest houses
What the weather does here
Inland and hot. Mature street trees keep much of Girrawheen shaded, which slows UV damage on the walls and speeds up lichen growth on the roof tiles.
Worth knowing
The Girrawheen specific bit
Because the stock went up in one wave, the roofs are reaching the same point at the same time — concrete tiles with the surface slurry eroded, shedding grit into the gutters. That is exactly the case where restoration genuinely extends the life of the tile rather than only changing its colour.
