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

Painting a house in Flemington 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. Flemington 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
No two Flemington quotes look alike: a double-storey terrace on the hill and a single-fronted workers’ cottage are completely different jobs. Three things decide the number.
Prep work required
The scale of the job sets the opening figure. Much of Flemington’s stock is narrow but deep, single-fronted cottages and terraces that run back room after room, so hallways, high ceilings and ornate cornices add paintable surface a floor plan never shows. Full interior painting through a double-storey terrace is a much bigger undertaking than freshening two bedrooms and a hall, and the quote follows the scope.
Paint product specified
Surface condition shapes the labour. Flemington’s Victorian and Edwardian exteriors need real preparation: cracked render and parapet mouldings patched, timber fretwork and window sashes re-puttied, and pre-1920 layers treated as lead until proven otherwise. That groundwork is what makes an exterior repaint hold for a decade instead of flaking in three winters, and it’s where quotes genuinely differ.
Access & height
Your paint spec is the third lever: Dulux Wash & Wear keeps the budget down, Haymes Ultra-Premium costs more and lasts for it, and a west-facing Flemington facade that cops the afternoon sun head-on gets Wattyl Solagard for the UV. The tin written into the quote is the tin we open, with no swaps mid-job. Want a ballpark before anyone visits? Run our painting cost calculator.
A worked example for a Flemington home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a weatherboard cottage in Flemington, weatherboard walls, fascia boards and timber sashes.

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 Flemington
Two councils, one suburb, and overlays on the terrace streets
Flemington is split between the City of Melbourne and the City of Moonee Valley, and heritage overlays from both councils sit across much of its Victorian and Edwardian fabric, including the terrace rows on the hill streets between Racecourse Road and Mount Alexander Road. For a contributory home, a new exterior scheme can need sign-off first from whichever council your side of the suburb answers to. We check which council your street falls under and walk you through the overlay map before any change of scheme is quoted.
Pre-1920 Flemington homes almost certainly carry lead paint
Most of Flemington’s terraces and workers’ cottages went up before 1920, which puts lead-based paint under the modern coats as a near certainty. We work those surfaces lead-safe as a default: contained wet-sanding, sheeting that catches every flake and disposal done properly, never a dry orbital sander throwing lead dust over the fence into a courtyard two metres away.
Hill-street exposure and hard-working render
Flemington’s high side takes weather from the west with little between it and the Maribyrnong flats, so west-facing render and weatherboard fade and powder first, while the shaded south walls between close-set terraces stay damp for days after rain. We split the spec by elevation, a UV-tough topcoat on the weather side and an anti-mould system on the sheltered side, so the facade wears evenly.
Newmarket shopfronts, flats and race-day scheduling
The retail strip along Racecourse Road and Pin Oak Crescent mixes ground-floor shopfronts with flats and offices above: work that needs trading-hours scheduling, awning access and body-corporate approvals, all of which we manage. We’ve handled apartment painting and commercial repaints throughout Moonee Valley and the inner city, and around Spring Carnival week we plan access early, because parking at the racecourse end of the suburb simply disappears.
