They specialise in high-quality finishes, and their attention to detail really shows in the final result. The team is professional, reliable and takes the time to make sure every project is completed to the client’s satisfaction.
As a designer, I know how important the finishing touches are, and Newline Painting consistently delivers.
I would definitely recommend Phi and the Newline Painting team to anyone looking to refresh or transform their space with a beautiful new coat of paint.
The whole process was excellent. From first contact, to quote, to price, to organising a date and time, and the paint job. You can tell these guys care about their work and their customers. Will definitely use again!
They are quality tradesmen, very respectful of our space and left it in great condition at the end of each work day. Great attention to detail.
Each of the team were extremely pleasant to deal with, easy communication including Roi at head office.
Exceptional!
Affordable, very good customer service and the final product was really good

What Changes the Price of a Camberwell Painting Quote
Painting a house in Camberwell typically costs between A$4,000 and A$20,000 or more, depending on the size and condition of the home. As a per-square-metre guide, standard interior work runs about A$20 to A$30, detailed work with heavy trim rises to A$60 to A$100, and exterior repainting sits around A$15 to A$60. Camberwell tends toward the upper end, because the period homes here carry more trim, taller walls and more preparation than a modern build. Four things do most of the work on your quote, and our painting cost guide works through three examples in detail.
There’s no published "Camberwell painter price list", and anyone showing you one is guessing. A few variables set your figure, and our paint cost calculator gives you a realistic ballpark before anyone knocks on your door.
Wall area, ceilings and coats
Sheer paintable area moves a Camberwell quote more than anything else. A typical Camberwell period home, a three or four-bedroom Edwardian or Californian bungalow, often runs well past 350m² of paintable interior across two coats. High ceilings, picture rails and decorative cornices add surface and detail time, so a full interior repaint is priced room by room; a one-coat refresh costs far less than bare-plaster or previously-unpainted timber.
Prep work required
Sanding, filling, patching, lead-paint handling for pre-1970 homes (the bulk of Camberwell’s period housing), gap-sealing and mould treatment on damp walls. On heritage exteriors, prep is 40–60% of total labour, and the part that decides how long the finish lasts.
Paint product specified
Paint choice shifts the price too: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and we specify Wattyl Solagard where a Camberwell exterior takes the full brunt of sun and weather. Whatever is written on your quote is what goes on the wall. We don't switch to a cheaper tin once work is under way.
Access & height
Two-storey Camberwell homes and steep period rooflines need scaffold or trestle work on an exterior repaint, and apartment exteriors around the Junction need owners-corporation sign-off and sometimes an EWP. Driveway and street access off Burke Road changes setup time. We factor it all in before quoting.
A worked example for a Camberwell home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take an Edwardian or Californian bungalow in Camberwell, picture rails, cornices and panel doors.

That is a planning figure, not a quote. Preparation condition, colour change, ceiling height and access move it, which is why we measure on site and give you one itemised written price rather than a rate.

What we know about painting in Camberwell
Heritage overlays shape exterior work in Camberwell
Parts of Camberwell, including the Prospect Hill precinct, sections of Burke Road and a number of Boroondara heritage precincts, sit within heritage overlays. If you’re repainting the exterior of a contributory or heritage-listed home and significantly changing the colour scheme, you may need City of Boroondara planning approval. We help you understand whether your project needs a permit before we quote.
Lead paint is common in Camberwell’s older homes
Most homes built before 1970, a large share of Camberwell’s Edwardian, Federation and interwar stock, carry lead-based paint under later coats. We handle it the safe way: surface testing, wet-sanding with dust containment, proper disposal, and no dry-sanding that sends lead dust through the house. It protects your family and our team.
Leafy streets and weather exposure
Camberwell’s tree-lined streets are part of its character, but overhanging canopy, southerly weather and damp shaded walls all shorten the life of an exterior coat. We spec the right system for each elevation: UV-stable membranes on sun-hit faces, mould-resistant coatings on shaded southern walls, so the finish holds up year after year.
Apartments and body-corporate work near the Junction
The unit blocks and mixed-use buildings around Camberwell Junction and Burke Road come with their own requirements: owners-corporation approvals, common-property scheduling and access coordination. We’ve painted strata interiors, common areas and apartment exteriors across Boroondara, and we manage the building liaison so the job runs without friction.
