Homes below Mount Ainslie
Campbell, ACT sits between the city and Mount Ainslie. It is home to the Australian War Memorial and, on its eastern side, the Royal Military College, Duntroon. Its residential streets were built up mainly in the postwar decades with brick homes on generous blocks, and more recently apartments and townhouses have been added on its southern side towards the lake.
Two kinds of job
For the older houses, the work is mostly exterior timber, eaves and window frames, plus interiors with original enamel trims and cracked cornices. For newer apartments and townhouses, it is usually upgrading builder-grade paint, repainting between tenancies, or common-area work for owners corporations.

Between Mount Ainslie and the lake
Campbell spans established streets of postwar brick homes and newer apartments and townhouses on its southern side towards the lake. Its older homes typically need exterior timber prepared and interiors updated, with older paint layers handled carefully. Its newer buildings need interior repaints for owners and landlords, and common-area work for owners corporations. Homes closer to Mount Ainslie may have more exposure to weather on higher elevations.
A note on mid-century homes
Paint on homes built before 1970 may contain lead (and some later paint can too), so we recommend testing and use wet, low-dust preparation. More on painting in Inner North Canberra.
Common questions
Do you paint the newer apartments in Campbell?
Yes. We paint apartment interiors for owners and landlords and quote for common areas through the strata manager.
Our house has original timber windows. Should they be painted or replaced?
Sound timber windows are usually worth repairing and repainting. We’ll point out any sections that need a carpenter first.
Do you paint both older homes and new apartments?
Yes. The approach differs, but we paint both across Campbell.
