Painting Plumstead's Mid-Century Family Homes

Plumstead’s streets are lined with homes that have been painted many times over the decades. Layers of old paint start to flake, steel window frames and burglar bars rust through the paint, and roofs fade in the summer sun. Plenty of houses have also been extended over the years, and the joins between old and new sections are where cracks and leaks tend to appear.

The suburb lies on the drier side of the Southern Suburbs compared with places right under the mountain, but it still gets a proper wet winter. Flat-roofed additions and garages are often the first places to leak, staining ceilings and spoiling interior paint.

What Our Painting Team Does in Plumstead

Thorough preparation

Flaking layers are scraped, cracks at the joins of extensions are filled and sealed, and surfaces are cleaned so the new paint bonds properly.

Metalwork and trim

Steel window frames, burglar bars, gates and gutters are wire-brushed, treated for rust and painted, which makes a big difference to how a house looks.

Roofs and leaks

We clean and paint roofs and waterproof flat sections, so the work inside the house is not spoiled by the next winter storm.

Painting a Plumstead Rental Between Tenants

Repainting a cottage or garden flat between tenants is one of the quickest ways to make it look fresh and let it again. We can repaint the interior in a short window and fix any wall damage first, so the unit is ready for viewing.

Our team also does handyman services in Plumstead, building and renovations in Plumstead and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

What Affects the Cost of Painting in Plumstead

  • Old paint layers. Flaking or chalky surfaces need more scraping and priming.
  • Steel and burglar bars. Rust treatment and painting metalwork by hand adds time.
  • Roof size and repairs. Cracked tiles or rusted sheets are fixed before the roof is painted.
  • Leaks. Waterproofing flat roofs is priced separately from the painting.
