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 Clayton Painting Quote
Painting a house in Clayton 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. Clayton 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.
Surface area & number of coats
Clayton pricing follows what the property is doing. A two-bedroom unit being turned around between tenancies is priced and scheduled on a different logic to a full refresh of a 1950s family home that has never left the family. Three drivers set the figure, and our painting cost calculator puts rough numbers on yours before anyone visits.
Prep work required
Total surface decides the starting figure. Clayton runs from compact two-bedroom units and townhouses to double-fronted originals on full blocks, and the wall area varies just as widely. A full interior repaint across a family home asks far more of a crew than a between-tenancy freshen-up of a unit, and each quote itemises exactly which rooms and surfaces are in.
Paint product specified
Surface state sets the hours. Clayton’s 1950s and 60s originals need lead-safe preparation, cracked hard plaster made good and timber fascias brought back before colour goes anywhere. Rentals bring their own list: scuffed corridors, picture-hook holes and kitchens that have cooked for a decade of tenants. On an exterior repaint, most of the hours go into surfaces you never see again once the topcoat is on, and that hidden work is what earns the seven-year cover.
Access & height
Paint selection shifts the number: Dulux Wash & Wear anchors the affordable end, Haymes Ultra-Premium the top shelf, and where hard western sun hammers weatherboard and render we specify Wattyl Solagard. What the quote lists is what goes on, never a swap.

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 Clayton
Repainting permits are rarely a question in Clayton
The City of Monash applies very few heritage controls in Clayton, so on nearly every street an owner or landlord can repaint inside and out in any scheme without council approval. That freedom matters here, because so much Clayton work is investors refreshing a unit or an original veneer before a new lease or a sale. Where a property does sit close to one of the suburb’s scattered heritage places, we check the overlay map while quoting, so approvals never ambush the start date.
Lead paint lives in Clayton’s originals, not its infill
Clayton’s first wave of housing dates to the 1950s and 60s, and under the later coats on those brick veneer and weatherboard originals sits lead paint more often than not. We assume lead on anything painted before 1970 until a test says otherwise: sanding stays wet and contained, debris lands on sheeting and leaves as controlled waste, and a HEPA vacuum does the final pass. The townhouses and units added since the 1980s never saw lead paint, so turnover repaints there skip the cost of protocols they do not need.
The between-tenancy repaint is Clayton’s signature job
With Monash University and the Monash Medical Centre anchoring thousands of student and staff tenancies, more Clayton repaints happen in a vacancy window than in any other week of a property’s life. We run these to the calendar: scope confirmed from the exit report, crew booked to the vacate date, walls back to clean neutral before the photographer arrives for the next listing. Property managers get one contact, tenants get proper notice, and owners get an invoice their agency can process without chasing.
Unit blocks and strata around the university and hospital
Clayton’s walk-up unit blocks, student apartment buildings and townhouse rows put strata rules around much of the suburb’s painting. We shape the paperwork for strata committees, include the insurance evidence up front, and stage stairwells, entries and shared driveways so residents keep moving while the coats cure. Around the medical precinct that includes working to shift patterns, with quiet hours and access windows agreed before the crew arrives.
