Preston interior painters for bungalows, clinker brick and deco homes since 1987.
A Preston bungalow painted in the right muted palette with crisp trim looks a class above the same house in builder white. Getting there is mostly preparation and colour judgement. We have painted Melbourne interiors for more than three decades: walls, ceilings, doors and apartments, all with a fixed written quote.
Yes. Bungalow interiors suit warm, muted wall colours with the timber trim, picture rails and built-ins picked out in a soft white or enamel, and we can show you combinations that have worked on similar Preston homes at the quote visit. See the cost guide →
Interwar Preston homes usually have solid hard plaster rather than plasterboard. Fine cracks get raked out and filled with the right setting compound, and any drummy sections are flagged honestly before painting, because paint alone will not hold failing plaster.
Wherever the timber is sound we prepare and repaint rather than replace: sanding back flaking layers, priming bare timber and finishing in enamel. On pre-1970 homes we test for lead first and use safe wet methods where it is present.
A fixed itemised price covering preparation, materials and labour, and the exact products. It is free and there is no obligation. Character homes vary a lot, which is why we always quote in person.
Window frame painting for Preston's interwar and post-war homes. Timber frames sanded back and primed so the enamel holds.
Strata painting for Preston's apartment blocks along High Street and near the station. Common areas painted in stages with the owners corporation.
Commercial painting for the High Street shops and Preston Market traders. After-hours work so the shop stays open.
Wall painting for Preston's interwar and post-war homes. Old walls filled and sanded flat before the colour goes on.
Interwar homes here usually have hard plaster, not plasterboard. Fine cracks are raked out and filled with the right setting compound, and any drummy sections are flagged honestly before painting, because paint alone will not hold failing plaster. The picture rails, cornices and panel doors in a room like this one are then cut in and finished in enamel.

Thanks to lachlan and his team, did a great job painting our home, they were quick to respond to the quote and professional throoughout the whole paint job, will be using them again in the future.
Lachlan did an excellent job with our wall repairs. He was great to work with too: punctual, friendly. Highly recommend.
Quick to respond, competitive on price, and incredibly helpful with our timeline and job needs. We had a last-minute painting that needed to be done before settling our property, and the work was done perfectly. Went above and beyond to get it sorted.
