Painters in Mount Lawley.

1920s and 30s character stock where the detail is the job — tuckpointing, stucco, leadlight reveals and deep verandahs.

The housing

What we're usually painting in Mount Lawley

Inter-war bungalows and Federation homes through the heritage precinct off Beaufort Street, art deco flats along the main road, and a small number of unsympathetic 1970s infills.

Common substrates

  • Tuck-pointed and face brick
  • Stucco and roughcast render
  • Deep timber verandah posts, fretwork and brackets
  • Pressed metal and plaster ceilings
  • Original jarrah floors and skirtings

What the weather does here

Inland, so no salt — but the summer UV load on unshaded north and west walls is high, and the mature street trees keep southern elevations damp enough to grow mould through winter.

Worth knowing

The Mount Lawley specific bit

Mount Lawley has a character protection area, and painting previously unpainted face brick is close to irreversible. We will say so before quoting rather than after. Where the brick has already been painted by a previous owner, stripping is sometimes possible and is quoted separately because the outcome genuinely varies wall to wall.
