Local knowledge
Painting in Matraville
Matraville is a quiet residential suburb with a mix of private dwellings and Housing Commission homes, plus some commercial and industrial pockets along Botany Road. The suburb's older housing stock includes fibro and weatherboard cottages from the mid-20th century. These require asbestos-aware painting practices and specialist surface preparation. More recent private homes and Housing Commission buildings from the 1980s add to the variety. The commercial strip along Botany Road also presents painting opportunities for shopfronts and industrial premises. Located right next to Maroubra, Matraville is within easy reach of our base and a suburb we service regularly.

What does painting a home in Matraville involve?
Matraville was Church and Schools Corporation land that reverted to the Crown in 1917 and was then set aside as a settlement for soldiers returning from the First World War, which is why so much of it was built in pairs. At the 2021 Census 30.8% of Matraville’s 3,459 occupied private dwellings were semi-detached, row or terrace houses, against 11.7% across NSW, with 47.6% separate houses. Randwick City Council also maps a Former Bunnerong Power Station heritage conservation area on Bunnerong Road, on the site of what was once the largest power station in the southern hemisphere.
Semis change the job. The pair shares a party wall and usually a parapet, so a colour decision is really a joint decision with the neighbour, and the flashing at the join is where water finds its way in. With a median age of 42 and 31.6% of homes owned outright, most of what we do here is long-cycle maintenance on original paint systems rather than turnover work.
