Camberwell
"Our two-storey weatherboard was in a very sorry state with peeling paint and rotten boards. The Gladstone team were incredible. Their prep work was a sight to behold; they spent days just sanding, filling, and replacing timber before a single drop of paint was used. It’s the best the house has looked in 30 years."
Albert Park
"I was nervous about having painters in while working from home, but the team was so professional and respectful. They communicated clearly about the schedule, were always on time, and left the place spotless every single day. I felt completely comfortable having them around and the final result is flawless. A truly stress-free experience."
Essendon
"Mate, these guys are absolute legends! My old Californian Bungalow looks incredible. They gave me straight-shooting advice from the start, no fluff, and just got the job done right. The attention to detail is insane. Worth every cent. If you want your place to look a million bucks, just call them. You won't regret it."

Heritage painting focuses on historical preservation, not just a cosmetic update. It requires special knowledge of architectural styles like Victorian or Edwardian and the use of historically accurate colours. The preparation is also more detailed, focusing on repairing original materials like aged timber and ornate plaster, rather than just painting over them.
Yes. We are trained in lead-safe work practices for pre-1970s homes in Melbourne. Our process involves containment to prevent dust from spreading and using the right safety gear. This is a key health measure to protect you, your family, and our team from lead exposure, something general painters might not be equipped for.
Our free colour consultation is part of the quoting process. We use our 13+ years of experience to suggest authentic colour schemes for your home's architectural period. We work with top brands like Dulux and Porters Paints and provide physical swatches to help you see how light will affect the final look.
Yes, our service is a complete restoration solution. Painting over rotten timber doesn't last. Our process includes a full inspection to find and fix structural issues, like replacing weatherboards or repairing damaged timber, before any painting begins. This ensures the repair and the new paint finish will last.
A Level 5 Finish is the industry's top standard for a smooth, flawless wall surface, usually for high-end homes. It involves adding a skim coat of compound over the entire surface, followed by detailed sanding and a high-intensity light inspection to remove all flaws. This is ideal for areas where a perfect surface is important.
Protecting original features is a core part of our service. We use low-tack masking tapes made for delicate surfaces and do careful brushwork by hand. Our team has the skill to work around fine details like ceiling roses and stained glass without causing damage.
Preparation is the key to a long-lasting finish and is much more detailed than a standard paint job. Key steps include:
Thorough Cleaning: Removing all dirt, mould, and flaking paint.
Extensive Sanding: Creating a smooth surface for the paint to stick to.
Detailed Filling: Fixing all cracks, holes, and flaws in plaster and timber.
Targeted Priming: Using specific primers for different surfaces to ensure the paint bonds well.
We only use high-quality, professional-grade paints from trusted brands like Dulux, Porters Paints, and Haynes. For heritage exteriors, we often use Dulux Weathershield for its proven durability. The choice of brand and product is tailored to the material and the historical look you want.
The timeline depends on the size of your home and how much repair and preparation is needed. As a guide, a typical single-storey Victorian exterior in Melbourne might take 2-3 weeks. A full interior could range from 1-4 weeks. We provide a detailed, realistic schedule with our formal quote.
Yes, we are a fully credentialed professional painting company. Gladstone Painting holds full Public Liability Insurance and Worker Compensation insurance. This protects you from any liability. All our team members also hold current White Cards for certified safety training.
Keeping a clean site is a priority. Our daily process includes:
Full Site Protection: Using high-quality drop sheets on all floors, furniture, and garden beds.
Zoned Containment: Using plastic barriers to seal off work areas and stop dust from spreading.
Daily Clean-Up: Tidying the work site at the end of each day.
Final Deep Clean: A full clean of the project area when we're finished.
Our 1-Year Workmanship Guarantee covers any defects from our application process. This includes issues like paint peeling or blistering that are a direct result of our work. The guarantee does not cover existing structural problems or new damage. It is our formal commitment to the quality of our work.
