Heritage Compliance & Site Protocols

Working on heritage and government buildings requires more than painting expertise. Premier Painting brings a compliance-first approach to every heritage project:

All staff working on government and heritage sites are background-screened as required
Lead-based paint hazard management in full compliance with AS/NZS 4361.2 — essential for pre-1980 buildings
Asbestos encapsulation services available where required
Heritage-appropriate paint systems specified in consultation with conservation requirements and client briefs
Rope access and abseiling solutions for hard-to-reach heritage facades — minimising disruption to the building and its surroundings
CM3 Accredited and WHS compliant on every government site
Preferred contractor of the Historic Houses Trust of NSW

What makes heritage building painting different from standard commercial painting?

Heritage buildings require specialist knowledge of historically appropriate paint systems, careful surface preparation for aged substrates, and compliance with conservation guidelines. Our team has delivered heritage painting works across NSW’s most significant government properties since 1997 and understands how to work within the constraints these sites demand.

Are your painters background-screened for government and heritage sites?

Yes. All staff working on government and heritage properties are background-screened as required — a standard condition of our relationship with the Historic Houses Trust of NSW. A dedicated Project Manager and on-site Supervisor oversee conduct and access protocols on every project.

Can you manage lead-based paint on older government buildings?

Yes. Premier Painting is trained and compliant with AS/NZS 4361.2 for lead-based paint hazard management — essential for pre-1980 buildings. Asbestos encapsulation services are also available where required.

What heritage finishes can you apply?

Our specialist finishes include limewash, cement-based finishes, marbling, graining, and rag rolling. We specify heritage-appropriate paint systems suited to the substrate, exposure conditions, and conservation requirements of each building.

Can you access hard-to-reach facades on heritage buildings without scaffolding?

Yes. We offer rope access and abseiling, elevated work platforms, swing stages, and fixed and mobile scaffold. For heritage facades where scaffolding would be intrusive or impractical, rope access is often the preferred solution — minimising disruption to the building and its surroundings.

What warranty applies to heritage and government painting work?

All projects carry a 7-year workmanship warranty. Where Dulux products are applied by our Dulux Accredited team, a 10-year manufacturer warranty is also available. Other major paint brands we use offer similar 7–10 year warranties
