What we offer in Glebe
Terrace and house repaints in Glebe
Looking for house painters in Glebe? Proview Painting quotes interior and exterior repaints for terraces and houses in Glebe — fully licensed, insured and Dulux Accredited. Outside, that covers render, fascias, eaves and trims. Inside, it covers walls, ceilings, trims and doors. The City of Sydney's planning controls describe one part of Glebe as predominantly rows of mid and late Victorian single and two storey terraces, with cottages among them.
Two of our terrace write-ups show the scope. The Union Street terrace in Paddington was repainted inside and out, including the rendered face, the cast iron lacework balcony, window surrounds, columns and front fence. The Victoria Street terrace in Potts Point had a full interior repaint: walls, ceilings, heritage cornicing, timber joinery and staircase timbers.
If the terrace is heritage-listed, read the City of Sydney section below before work is booked. For guide prices, see our Sydney house painting cost guide.

Quotes are itemised by elevation and area so a committee can compare them, and Neil walks the building with the strata manager or a committee member before quoting. Our strata painters Sydney page lists the paperwork that goes to the strata manager with the quote.
For a strata job we have written up, see the common-property repaint of a strata block in Mosman: the common-area walls, ceilings and unit doors, the balcony railings, fascias and soffits, and the driveway and car park pressure washed, with the car spaces line marked.
Repaint cycles and guide prices for apartment blocks are in the questions at the bottom of this page. The only real number for a Glebe building is a quote after the building has been walked.

Repainting in Glebe: what the City of Sydney says
Glebe is in the City of Sydney council area, not the Inner West Council area. The Glebe Society says virtually all of Glebe and Forest Lodge is covered by heritage conservation areas.
The City's guidance is that repainting the already-painted parts of a building needs no notice to the City, unless the building is listed as a heritage item. To repaint a heritage-listed building, the City of Sydney says you need a development consent or a written exemption from the City.
The City of Sydney's repainting guidelines for heritage conservation areas say to only repaint surfaces intended for painting, and not to paint face brickwork, tiles or stone. For bricks that are already painted, the guidelines say not to repaint over them and to talk to the City instead.
Rules depend on the property, so check whether your building is heritage-listed and confirm with the City of Sydney for your address before work is booked.

Painting in Glebe — common questions
Do I need the City of Sydney's approval to repaint my Glebe terrace?
It depends on the building. The City of Sydney's guidance is that repainting the already-painted parts of a building needs no notice to the City, unless the building is listed as a heritage item. To repaint a heritage-listed building, the City of Sydney says you need a development consent or a written exemption from the City. The City's repainting guidelines for its heritage conservation areas also say not to repaint over painted bricks, and to talk to the City instead. Confirm with the City of Sydney for your address before work starts.
Which council is Glebe in?
Glebe is in the City of Sydney council area, not the Inner West Council area. For a Glebe building, the City of Sydney is the council to ask about repainting.
How often does a Glebe apartment block need repainting, and what does it cost?
As a general guide from our strata painting guide, not a figure for any one Glebe building: external render on Sydney strata buildings is typically repainted every 8–10 years, or 6–8 years on exposed coastal elevations. A full external repaint of a small walk-up block of 6–12 units typically lands between $25,000 and $80,000, depending on access and condition. The real number comes from a quote after the building has been walked.
Who paints inside a Glebe apartment: the lot owner or the owners corporation?
In NSW the owners corporation must repair and maintain common property, and in most cases painting inside a lot is the lot owner's job. The strata plan and by-laws set out what is common property. Proview Painting quotes both: common-property repaints for owners corporations and strata managers, and apartment interiors for owners and landlords.
Is Proview Painting licensed to paint in Glebe?
Yes — NSW painter licence 254277C, ABN 48 380 838 464, fully insured for public liability and workers comp. Trading since 2004 and Dulux Accredited. You get a 5-year written workmanship guarantee with every job.
