Heritage Exterior Painting
Heritage exterior painting requires a careful approach that considers the condition, character and significance of the building or asset.
Protrades Property Group provides preparation and exterior painting for heritage buildings, historic properties, churches, public buildings, bridges and other character assets. Existing surfaces are assessed before work begins so preparation methods and coating systems can be selected appropriately for the substrate, exposure conditions and required finish.
Particular care can be taken around original timberwork, architectural details, decorative elements and existing surfaces where preservation of the asset’s character is important.

Careful preparation of aged and previously painted surfaces
Exterior walls, cladding and architectural details
Timber weatherboards, trims, doors and window frames

Exterior Surface Preparation
Durable exterior painting begins with appropriate surface preparation. Exterior substrates are exposed to weather, moisture, contaminants, ageing coatings and environmental conditions that can affect coating performance.
Protrades Property Group assesses existing surfaces and coating condition before painting begins, allowing preparation methods to be selected according to the substrate, condition and requirements of the project.
Preparation is carried out with consideration for surrounding property, adjacent surfaces and the environment in which the work is being undertaken.
Exterior Preparation May Include:
Building and surface washdowns
Water-blasting and pressure cleaning where appropriate
Chemical cleaning and treatment where required
Removal of dirt, contaminants and surface growth
Scraping and removal of loose or failing coatings
Sanding and mechanical surface preparation
Filling, stopping and remedial surface repairs
Preparation of timber, masonry, concrete and previously coated surfaces
Priming, sealing and spot-priming where required
Masking and protection of adjacent surfaces, fixtures and property
Exterior Coating Systems & Finishes
Exterior coating systems need to provide more than a finished appearance. Product selection should consider the substrate, existing coating condition, environmental exposure and the performance requirements of the property.
Protrades Property Group selects coating systems appropriate to the surface and project requirements, with consideration given to preparation, compatibility, durability and the intended finish.
Where required, coating systems can be applied in accordance with project specifications and manufacturer recommendations.
Exterior Coating Options May Include:
Exterior acrylic coating systems
Primers, sealers and undercoats appropriate to the substrate
Coatings for timber, masonry and concrete surfaces
Coating systems for previously painted metal surfaces
Weather-resistant finishes for exposed exterior areas
Low-sheen, satin and gloss finishes where appropriate
Coating systems selected for demanding commercial environments
Recoating and maintenance painting systems
Colour changes and existing colour matching
Coating selection based on substrate, exposure and intended use
