Specialist painting and protective coating systems for residential, strata and commercial buildings across Sydney.
The sun breaks down paint molecules, causing fading, chalking and loss of surface protection.
Colour loss and a chalky powder on the surface when touched. UV has broken down the topcoat binder.
Paint lifting away from the substrate in sheets or flakes. Adhesion has failed completely.
Fine network of cracks across the paint film. The coating can no longer flex with the substrate beneath it.
Damp patches, rust staining from fixings, or tide marks on the surface. Water is getting in.
Black, green or brown discolouration on the paint surface. Moisture is trapped and the coating is degrading.
UPKEEP provides rope access painting, facade maintenance, concrete repairs, remedial works, sealant replacement, soft washing, window cleaning, roof cleaning, anchor testing and building inspections throughout Sydney.
Whether a project requires rope access, EWP access, ladders or ground-based access, we use the safest and most efficient method to complete painting, remedial and maintenance works.
We recommend repainting every 7–10 years for most exterior surfaces. Coastal properties and high-exposure facades may need attention sooner. An inspection will give you a clear answer for your specific building.
Every job is different. Scope, access requirements, surface condition and building size all affect the timeline. An on-site assessment gives you a clear picture of what's involved and a confirmed schedule before any work begins.
Yes — always. Cracks, spalling, failed sealants and surface defects are addressed before any coating is applied. Painting over an unsound surface is not something we do.
All rope access technicians hold current IRATA or SPRAT certification — the global standard for rope access. All height work complies with AS/NZS 4488 and relevant WHS legislation.
We inspect before we quote, specify the right system for your building rather than the cheapest option, and every job ends with a written report and photos. You have a record. Your building has a history. We aim to do it right while working within your budget.
We are Dulux Accredited and primarily specify Dulux premium coating systems. Where required or requested, we also work with other leading Australian brands including Solver, Haymes and Taubmans. Every system is specified to match the substrate type, exposure level and performance requirements of your building — never by margin.
We service the Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, North Shore, Inner West and Sydney CBD. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.
Yes. We plan all works around building occupancy and coordinate with strata managers to minimise disruption to residents and tenants.
Weather delays are factored into our scheduling. We do not apply coatings in conditions that compromise adhesion or finish quality. Any delays are communicated promptly.
Our team holds a broad range of certifications and licences across the business including IRATA and SPRAT rope access qualifications, public liability and workers compensation insurance, First Aid, Police Checks, Working with Children, Height Safety System Installation and Testing, EWP over 11m, Asbestos Awareness, Confined Spaces, and Painting and Decorating trade qualifications. Every job is staffed with the right people for the scope of work.
