The houses in New Lambton
Shade can vary across a single property, leaving one wall dry while another retains moisture. Describe what you see after rain and whether staining returns after cleaning, rather than assuming all surfaces need the same treatment because trees are nearby.
Our New Lambton painters can discuss windows, eaves and walls together while keeping their material requirements separate. If an extension uses different sheeting from the original home, point that out, including any information about its age or composition that may affect safe preparation.

What we look at first in New Lambton
A recurring mark is worth investigating before it disappears beneath fresh paint. Check shaded surfaces, timber beneath gutters and older sheet materials for problems that cleaning or a new coating cannot resolve on their own.
Mould on the shaded walls
Mould needs appropriate cleaning and treatment before repainting is considered. A finish may offer some resistance to growth, but it will not eliminate the moisture conditions behind a recurring problem, so leaks and poor drainage should not be overlooked.
Eaves and fascias under branches
Overhanging branches and accumulated leaves may affect gutters or reduce access. If timber is soft or water stains keep returning, have the gutter, roof leak or damaged timber assessed before repainting; coating an affected board does not establish whether the surrounding roof drainage is working.
Fibro on the additions
Older cement sheeting may contain asbestos, and its condition should guide the next step. Do not sand suspect material or treat damaged sheets as ordinary patching; appropriate identification and professional advice may be needed before preparation can be agreed.
Paint containing lead was used in many Australian houses before 1970. Where it is present, the federal government's Lead Alert guide sets out how to prepare it, with wet scraping and wet sanding in place of dry sanding.

Questions people ask painters in New Lambton
Can you paint over mould?
Mould should not simply be covered. The surface needs suitable treatment and time to dry, while the cause of repeated damp deserves attention so the proposed paint is not expected to solve a continuing building or moisture problem.
Our extension is fibro. Is it safe to paint?
Whether it is suitable depends on whether the sheets contain asbestos and whether they are damaged. If asbestos is suspected or known, preparation needs appropriate guidance, and damaged material should be assessed before a routine painting method is assumed.
Is it worth doing the gutters and eaves at the same time?
List the gutters and eaves in your enquiry if they show wear or need a colour change. Our painters in New Lambton can discuss those parts alongside the walls, with attention to their material, condition and access rather than assuming combined work always costs less or is required.
