Painters Link® is a reliable, licensed and insured painting company that manages strata painting projects across Sydney.
Strata Painting Services in Sydney
Painters Link® manages strata painting projects for owners corporations, committees and strata managers across Greater Sydney. We coordinate inspections, paint specifications, access equipment, safety documents, resident notices and quality control through to handover.
Residents still need access to their homes, committees need an approvable scope, and each surface needs the correct preparation. Our professional painting services are structured around those requirements.
Strata Painting for Common Property
Under NSW strata maintenance guidance, the owners corporation generally maintains common property. Depending on the strata plan, this can include external walls, gutters, balconies, foyers, corridors, stairwells and basements. Painting inside a lot is normally the owner’s responsibility.
We confirm what belongs in the project. “Body corporate painting” is commonly searched, but owners corporation is the usual NSW legal term.

What Our Strata Painting Services Cover
Strata painting covers a broad range of areas across a property. Our services include:
Exterior Facades and Building Elements
Rendered walls, masonry, soffits, balconies, fascias, gutters and downpipes. We check for chalking, flaking paint, cracked render, failed sealants, rust and moisture symptoms before pricing.
Internal Common Areas
Foyers, lift lobbies, corridors, stairwells, laundries, bin rooms and basements. Washable, low-odour products and staged work zones help keep occupied floors accessible.
Timber, Doors and Metalwork
Doors, frames, pergolas, fascias, balustrades, handrails and gates. Loose coatings are removed, bare timber primed and rusted metal treated before compatible topcoats.
Car Parks and Utility Areas
Car park walls, ceilings, directional markings, safety colours and selected floor coatings. Work zones are staged so affected residents can move vehicles in advance.
Anti-Mould & Waterproof Paint Applications
We use moisture-resistant coatings to help prevent peeling and protect the condition of internal walls in areas prone to damp, such as basements and stairwells.
High-Access Painting
Access may involve scaffold, elevated work platforms (EWPs), swing stages or qualified rope-access technicians. Selection depends on preparation, affected public areas, wind and project duration. See rope access versus scaffolding.
Why Strata Managers and Committees Choose Painters Link
Strata managers deal with enough moving parts without having to manage their painter too. Here's what makes working with Painters Link different in practice, not just on paper.
Best Paint Brands for Strata Paintwork in Australia
There is no single "best" paint for a strata building. Selection depends on substrate, existing coating, exposure and traffic.
Our professional painting services use a coating schedule that names the product, primer, sheen and coats for each surface. Specifications are prepared with reference to manufacturer data and, where applicable, AS/NZS 2311:2017.
Dulux
Dulux Weathershield may be specified for suitable exterior surfaces, Wash&Wear for washable internal common-area walls, Acratex systems for selected rendered or textured masonry, and Metalshield systems for compatible metal handrails, doors and balustrades.
Wattyl
Wattyl Solagard may suit exterior masonry and timber applications. Wattyl I.D Advanced provides washable, very-low-VOC options for internal areas where low odour and easier cleaning are priorities.
Read more about Wattyl paint systems.
Taubmans
Taubmans Endure or Pure Performance may be considered for selected high-traffic interiors, while Taubmans exterior, preparation and trim systems can be specified where they suit the substrate.
Read more about Taubmans paint products.
High-Performance Paints for High-Quality Finishes
To deliver finishes that go the distance, we partner with leading paint and coating suppliers with a proven track record in the Australian market. Every product we specify is backed by a history of reliable performance, consistent quality and formulations designed with our climate in mind, so we can stand behind our work and back it with a warranty that means something.
The result is a written paint specification, provided to your strata manager before work begins, that identifies every product by brand, name, sheen level, and number of coats. No vague references to "quality paint." Every product is named and accountable.
Environmental and Colour Decisions
For occupied common areas, lower-VOC water-based coatings can reduce odour. Selection still considers washability and surface condition.
Waste, wash water and containers are managed under the environmental plan. Painters Link is a Green Building Council of Australia member.
We can prepare colour schedules, samples and test areas. Heritage properties or major exterior changes may require checks of approvals, by-laws and council controls. Detailed help is available through our paint colour consultant.

Our Strata Painting Process
Every strata project follows a clear sequence, from the initial condition inspection to resident communication, quality checks and final handover.
- 01
Onsite Condition Inspection
We record coating failure, cracks, moisture symptoms, rust, access restrictions and items requiring separate remedial advice.
- 02
Scope, Access Plan and Proposal
The committee receives an itemised scope covering preparation, coating systems, access requirements, exclusions and the proposed programme.
- 03
Colour and Committee Approval
Samples or test areas are prepared where required. Approved colours and sheen levels are recorded before the full paint order is placed.
- 04
Resident Notices and Site Setup
Notices explain dates, parking or balcony requirements, temporary restrictions and the project contact. Protection, barricades and access equipment are then installed.
- 05
Preparation and Painting
Preparation may include washing, scraping, sanding, crack filling, patching, rust treatment, spot priming and sealing. Coatings are then applied by brush, roller or spray as specified.
- 06
Inspection and Handover
Completed areas are checked against the approved scope and coating schedule. Touch-ups are completed before product records and warranty information are issued.
Need ongoing inspections or planned touch-ups?
Buildings that require annual condition checks or scheduled touch-ups can use our strata painting maintenance service.
Strata Painting Cost and Project Duration
The number of units alone does not determine cost. The quote changes with paintable area, building height, access method, deterioration, remedial preparation, coating system and resident-access requirements.
A corridor refresh may take days, while a complete occupied-building repaint can take weeks or months. A useful quote states the work sequence, preparation, products, coats, access and exclusions.
When comparing painters in Sydney, ask each contractor to separate:
- Site establishment and access equipment
- Surface preparation
- Remedial allowances
- Primers and topcoats
- Labour
- Project management
- Resident communication
- Waste handling
- GST
Provisional sums and exclusions should be identified rather than hidden inside one figure.
