Walls, ceilings, doors and trims, plus the picture rails, deep skirtings and timber sashes Yarraville’s Edwardian homes are full of. Low-odour, low-VOC paints and strict dust containment, because in a small cottage the living room is the work zone.

Book commercial painting →Start with an instant online price or a phone chat. We walk the rooms with you, agree scope and colours, then one itemised written figure covers the lot. Nothing vague, nothing added later.
We wash down, sand, fill and prime before any colour goes on, then apply premium systems matched to weatherboard or render, with floors, gardens and footpaths protected from day one.
Nothing is finished until you have inspected every wall with us and signed off. Touch-ups are sorted before we leave, and the seven-year cover starts the day we finish.

Much of the Yarraville village and the cottage streets around Anderson Street and Ballarat Street are covered by a City of Maribyrnong heritage overlay. Repainting in the existing colours is usually simple. A new exterior scheme on a contributory house can need a permit, so we look your address up on the overlay map while quoting. If you want a change, we can show you heritage colour ranges from Dulux and Haymes that suit a Victorian or Edwardian cottage.

Yarraville sits near the port and the truck routes, and exteriors here carry a film of road grime that paint will not key through. We pressure wash and degrease before priming on every exterior, and it is in the price. On the streets closest to the truck routes along Francis Street and Somerville Road we allow extra washing time, because a single pass does not shift it.

The Victorian and Edwardian cottages through the village almost all have lead in the older paint layers. We do not dry-sand them. We wet-sand or chemically strip with sheeting down, bag and remove the waste, and clean the site properly at the end of each day. If there are young children in the house, tell us at the quote and we will take you through exactly how the containment works.
Frontages on streets like Stephen Street are narrow and a lot of these cottages have no side access at all, which means everything moves through the house or over the roof. That changes how long an exterior takes and we would rather price it honestly than discover it on day one. We check access at the walkthrough, including whether the neighbour's side is an option, and put it in the quote.
Painting a house in Yarraville 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. Yarraville has older and newer homes side by side, so where a quote lands depends on the individual house: trim, wall height and condition matter more than the suburb. Four things do most of the work on your quote, and our painting cost guide works through three examples in detail.
Rarely do two Yarraville repaints land on the same figure. A double-fronted timber cottage and a rendered infill townhouse ask for different prep, different products and different access.
Metres of wall set the starting number. Yarraville’s Edwardian weatherboards carry high ceilings, deep skirtings, picture rails and timber sash windows, and all of that detail takes brush hours a plain modern room never asks for. A full interior repaint through a double-fronted home off Canterbury Street is a far larger scope than refreshing a couple of bedrooms and a hallway; the quote shows that difference line by line.
Condition decides the middle of the price. Timber boards this close to the Francis Street truck corridor wear a film of traffic grime that has to be washed right off before sanding, west-facing elevations chalk under the afternoon sun, and anything painted before 1970 gets lead-safe handling. Preparation is the reason an exterior repaint here lasts a decade rather than five years.
Product choice moves the figure too: Dulux Wash & Wear holds the entry price, Haymes Ultra-Premium sits above it, and Wattyl Solagard earns its place where boards face the hard western sun. Quote says Solagard, wall gets Solagard: no quiet substitutions. For a room-by-room ballpark before anyone visits, run the numbers through our painting cost calculator.
Access finishes the sum. Cottage rows near the station share tight side setbacks and permit parking, while two-storey townhouse walls and shopfront parapets around the village can call for towers or a boom lift. Every access cost is written into the quote before we start, not discovered on the invoice once the job is underway.
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a weatherboard Victorian cottage in Yarraville, weatherboard walls, fascia boards and timber sashes.
of paintable exterior surface, which is the number that actually drives the quote, not the floor area.

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.



Recent Newline Painting work across the inner west, weatherboard cottages included. Preparation time changes with the age and condition of each house, and it is the part of the job that decides how long the paint holds up.

$20 million public liability cover sits over every Yarraville job, whether it is one cottage hallway or a full signage repaint, and the certificate of currency lands before we do.
Your dates are locked in writing at booking. We arrive on the agreed day and stage the rooms around your household, school run and street parking included.
In Maribyrnong a paint finish gets judged against some of Melbourne's best-kept houses, which is the standard we quote to.
From quote to handover your Yarraville job belongs to a single Newline crew, nothing subcontracted out. We have repainted picket fencing for an Edwardian weatherboard on Schild Street, and that same vetted, trade-qualified crew covers the village grid, Yarraville West and the new townhouse rows. The crew that prices the work is the crew that hands it back, and they stand behind the warranty personally. Meet the full team →
