1990s Gungahlin, Gold Creek
Nicholls, ACT was developed in the 1990s in western Gungahlin and includes the Gold Creek area with its golf course. Housing is largely detached family homes, many of them two-storey.
Two-storey exteriors
Upper-level eaves, gables and render on two-storey homes need safe access, sometimes scaffolding or an elevated platform, and we include that in the quote. Render cracks are filled with flexible products, and colours chosen with Canberra’s strong UV in mind.
Two-storey homes around Gold Creek
Nicholls, including the Gold Creek area, has many larger two-storey family homes. Upper-level eaves, gables and rendered walls need safe access, sometimes scaffolding or an elevated platform, which we include in the quote. Render cracks are filled with flexible products before a coating designed for masonry. Inside, larger homes often have double-height entries or voids that need the right equipment. Fibre-cement installed before the 2003 asbestos ban may contain asbestos and is not sanded.
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 Gungahlin.
