Dee Why: Eight Strata Buildings Washed, Repaired and Repainted

Location: Dee Why, Northern Beaches
Building: strata complex of eight rendered residential buildings
Scope: pressure washing, render repairs, exterior and balcony painting
Access: industrial rope access, with ground-level work where it suited

Eight strata buildings in Dee Why after washing, repairs and repainting

The site

A strata complex in Dee Why made up of eight rendered apartment buildings with balconies, set among gardens and palms.

The challenge

The whole complex needed the same treatment: a clean façade, repairs to the render, then a full repaint, including balcony areas, delivered building by building on a site where people live.

What we did

1. Pressure washing

Each façade was washed down before any repairs or paint, to remove dirt, growth and loose material.

2. Render repairs

Defects in the render were repaired and finished flush on the ropes, so the surface was sound before coating.

3. Painting by rope access

The façades were painted drop by drop. The first photo shows the new colour going on next to the old finish on the same wall.

4. Balconies

Balcony walls were painted from inside the balconies, with surfaces below protected.

Result

All eight buildings were washed, repaired and repainted. We did not take a matching before photo on this job, so the in-progress photo in step 3 is the clearest comparison of old and new.
