House Painters Normanhurst

Interwar bungalows and their timber

Normanhurst’s 1920s and 1930s bungalows are mostly brick with rendered bands, timber-framed casement windows, boxed eaves and timber verandah detail. The brick needs nothing. The render cracks at corners and the timber fails at sills, end grain and joints. We wash, scrape to a sound edge, feather, spot-prime with oil-based primer, replace shrunk putty and fill with flexible compounds before two full coats of a UV-stable system.

Paint from before 1970 is treated as lead-bearing: wet preparation, sealed drop sheets and waste removed from site.

Post-war brick veneer and later homes

The 1950s to 1980s homes around Normanhurst bring fascias, gutters, eaves linings, aluminium or timber windows and often a rendered or bagged section added during a renovation. Each gets the right primer: etch primers on bare metal, oil-based on timber, acrylic sealers on new render. Garage doors and front doors are usually sprayed or finished in enamel for a clean, factory-like result.

Shade, gullies and damp walls

Normanhurst’s gully streets stay damp. South and east walls grow mould and moss and shed paint early if they are coated wet. We treat those elevations with a mould-killing wash, allow proper drying time and schedule them for the driest days of the job. Gutters and downpipes are checked for leaks that would undo the work.
