What we can do for your Chisholm property

The services most relevant to Chisholm homes, with links to more detail on each.

Also available: exterior painting and decorative finishes.

Dated interiors

Interiors from the 1980s often feature dark timber, strong colours and textured ceilings. Repainting in lighter, consistent colours makes rooms feel larger and brighter. Textured ceilings need gentle cleaning and the right roller to cover evenly.

Bringing a 1980s Chisholm home up to date

Chisholm’s homes and townhouses date mainly from the 1980s, and their interiors often show it: textured ceilings, dark timber, and strong feature colours. Lighter, consistent colours make rooms feel larger. Textured ceilings need gentle cleaning and a suitable roller to cover evenly without flattening the texture. Fibre-cement installed before the 2003 asbestos ban may contain asbestos, so any suspect sheeting is left undisturbed. The local shopping centre also means a few small commercial premises nearby, which we can paint outside trading hours.

Before work starts
