What matters for painting in Sydney

  • BlueScope classes Manly and Bondi as surf marine, Botany Bay, Sydney Harbour east of the Harbour Bridge and Kurnell as exposed marine, and Darling Harbour and the Parramatta River as calm marine. The right Colorbond and fastener grade changes across those bands, so a quote written for an inland job will not last on a beachfront roof.

  • SafeWork NSW warns that any home built before the late 1980s may contain asbestos in flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, roofs, ceilings and walls. A licensed removalist is required for any friable asbestos and for more than 10 square metres of bonded asbestos such as fibro sheeting.
