Painting in Port Kembla

Port Kembla sits right on the coast, so salt carried in on the wind settles on exterior surfaces and works under any coating that was not prepared properly. Exteriors here need washing down before anything goes on, and they need recoating sooner than homes a few kilometres inland.

The housing here is workers cottages, industrial, which decides how a quote is put together — preparation on older timber is a different job from rolling a newer rendered wall.

At the 2021 census, 76.7% of dwellings in Port Kembla were separate houses, with 15.7% flats or apartments — so there is real strata work here alongside the houses.

Port Kembla is in the Wollongong council area.

Weatherboard is the most work of any exterior and the most rewarding. Boards move, old paint lifts at the laps, and anything built before the seventies may carry lead paint that has to be handled properly rather than sanded into the garden.
