Bayside · 3186
Brighton's proximity to the bay is beautiful and merciless. Airborne salt settles on render and sills, chews through cheap acrylic films and lifts coatings from the western elevations facing the water within a few short summers.
We specify marine-grade primers and flexible exterior membranes for Brighton homes, pay particular attention to parapet capping and balustrade fixings, and wash down thoroughly so salt is not sealed under a new coat.
Most of our Brighton work is residential: exterior repaints on rendered and weatherboard facades that face the bay, heritage villa restoration where original joinery is worth saving, and interior repaints staged room by room so the house stays liveable. The Brighton projects in our library show the standard we hold on both.
Housing stock in Brighton: Grand interwar villas along the Golden Mile, contemporary rendered rebuilds and heavily glazed beachside townhouses.
