Northern suburbs housing stock and what it means for prep
The inner north, Coburg, Brunswick, Northcote, Preston, Thornbury and around, is dense with Edwardian and interwar homes. Double-fronted brick from that era usually has original lime-based plaster inside, which is softer and more moisture-sensitive than the sheet plaster used from the 1970s on. It patches differently and needs the right primer.
Fibrous cement sheeting is common inside post-war homes through Reservoir and similar pockets, usually in bathrooms, laundries and sleep-outs. Older sheet can contain bonded asbestos, harmless when intact but something to identify before any sanding starts.
Period homes around Fitzroy North and Carlton North often carry ornate plaster and timber inside, cornices, ceiling roses, deep architraves, that needs hand preparation rather than power sanding so the profile is not flattened. Knowing which surfaces need hand work is part of quoting these jobs honestly.
