Painters in Scarborough.
Second only to Cottesloe for salt load, with a lot of 70s and 80s brick and tile taking the brunt of it.
The housing
What we're usually painting in Scarborough
1970s–80s brick-and-tile through the middle of the suburb, older beach shacks and their replacements near the foreshore, and a dense band of apartments along the west.
Common substrates
- Rendered and bagged brick
- Cement sheet eaves and soffits
- Aluminium window frames pitting from salt
- Colorbond fencing and garage doors
- Balcony concrete and steel balustrade
What the weather does here
Constant onshore salt and sand-blast from the wind. Western elevations get sun and salt together, which is the combination that strips gloss fastest.
Worth knowing
The Scarborough specific bit
On apartment and townhouse work here the balustrade and the balcony soffit usually fail long before the walls do. Getting those prepped properly — chasing rust back to bright steel rather than painting over it — is what determines whether the job lasts, and it is the line item people are most often surprised by.
