North-west Belconnen, from the 1990s

Dunlop, ACT was developed from the 1990s on Belconnen’s north-western edge, close to the ACT–NSW border. It is a mix of detached homes and townhouses.

What we can do for your Dunlop property

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

Also available: decorative finishes and repairs & preparation.

First full repaints

Homes from this period usually have sound surfaces, but original interior paint is tired and marked, and exterior colours have faded, particularly on west-facing walls. A full repaint with washable interior finishes and quality exterior paint brings them back to new.

Dunlop homes at the first-repaint stage

Dunlop is on Belconnen’s north-western edge, and its 1990s-era homes and townhouses tend to reach the same point at the same time: tired original interior paint, faded exterior colours and small cracks in render or at cornices. That makes it a good time for a planned repaint rather than piecemeal touch-ups. Fibre-cement installed before the 2003 asbestos ban may contain asbestos, so we clean it gently and never sand or drill it. For townhouse complexes, exterior colours may need owners corporation approval.

A note on 1990s and 2000s homes

Fibre-cement installed in the 1990s may still contain asbestos, so we never sand or drill it. Sheeting installed after the 2003 asbestos ban should be asbestos-free. More on painting in Belconnen.

Dunlop painting questions

Our walls are faded on one side only. Why?

That’s usually the side facing the afternoon sun. UV fades paint fastest there.

Do you paint townhouse complexes in Dunlop?

Yes, for owners corporations and individual owners.

Do 1990s homes have asbestos?

Some building products installed before the 2003 ban may contain asbestos. If in doubt, we recommend testing before any work that disturbs it.
