Exterior Painting & Protective Coatings Canberra

Remicon delivers exterior painting as a remedial contractor: substrate repaired first, then protective and decorative coating systems applied to specification for Canberra conditions, with the whole job photo-documented and warranted by a licensed builder.

Remicon delivers exterior painting as a remedial contractor. We repair the substrate first, then apply coating systems specified for the exposure, the material and the defect they are protecting against. Strata, commercial and government buildings across Canberra, delivered as a single accountable contractor.

What we do before the paint goes on a Canberra building

  • Façade condition inspection: render, precast concrete, blockwork, fibre cement, steel and timber
  • Drummy and delaminated render cut out and replaced
  • Concrete spalling and rust staining treated at the reinforcement, not painted over
  • Failed sealant joints at panels, windows and movement joints removed and replaced
  • Cracks injected or bridged depending on cause and movement
  • High-pressure clean, mould treatment and surface preparation to the coating manufacturer's specification

Protective coating systems for Canberra conditions, not just colours

  • Anti-carbonation coatings for concrete and precast façades, slowing the reinforcement corrosion that leads to spalling
  • Elastomeric membrane coatings for render and blockwork with hairline cracking and water ingress
  • Protective coatings on structural and balustrade steel to AS/NZS 2312
  • Anti-graffiti and sacrificial coatings for ground floor and public-facing walls
  • Roof and trafficable coatings for podiums, walkways and plant decks
  • Decorative exterior repaints to AS/NZS 2311 with products rated for Canberra UV and freeze-thaw exposure

Delivering a repaint on an occupied Canberra building

  • Access planning: elevated work platforms, swing stages, rope access or scaffold, chosen for the façade and the residents, with the strata manager informed at each stage
  • Colour and specification submitted to the committee for approval, with samples on the building
  • Works staged by elevation with notice to residents, and balconies cleared and protected
  • Photo-documented preparation and application so the committee can see what was under the coating and what went over it
  • Warranty documentation from the coating manufacturer and Remicon as the licensed builder

Why Canberra strata managers engage a remedial builder for painting

  • One contractor is responsible for the substrate repair, the coating and the outcome. No dispute between a painter and a concrete contractor about who caused the blister
  • Repairs are scoped and priced from a proper inspection, not discovered halfway through the job as variations
  • The program can be aligned with other envelope works such as window sealant, balcony waterproofing and roof flashings so the scaffold is used once

Frequently asked questions

Do you paint houses? No. Remicon works on strata, commercial and government buildings. A residential painter is the right fit for a house.

Can you attend our committee meeting? Yes. We present the scope, the coating specification and the staging plan to the executive committee on request.

How often should a Canberra apartment building be repainted? Typically eight to twelve years for a quality exterior system, depending on exposure and the condition of the substrate. Buildings with unresolved water ingress will fail earlier regardless of the paint.

Do you use Dulux or another brand? We specify from major manufacturers including Dulux Protective Coatings and others, selected for the substrate and defect rather than a single brand.
