The problem

A 1920s weatherboard a street back from the water, flaking and chalking, with pre-1970 lead-paint history. Two earlier "quick" repaints had been rolled straight over failing coating, so it was peeling again within a couple of summers.

Our approach

We tested for lead first, wet-scraped back to a sound substrate (never dry-sanded), filled and spot-primed the bare timber, then built the system up from a binding primer instead of painting over the problem.

The result

A finish specced for salt and UV, with the prep that makes it last. Two coats, every line on the quote, and a 7-year workmanship warranty in writing.

System & materials

  • Dulux Weathershield exterior, coastal-grade
  • Oil-based binding primer on bare timber
  • Lead-safe containment and disposal
  • Two full topcoats, cut-in by brush
