faq's
How often should a home be repainted in Wellington?
Wellington’s weather conditions can be tough on exterior paint systems, particularly on exposed or coastal properties. Strong UV, wind, salt air, and moisture can all shorten the lifespan of exterior coatings over time.
As a general guide, many Wellington homes benefit from exterior repainting every 7–15 years depending on the surface type, paint system used, level of exposure, and the quality of the original preparation work. Interiors typically last longer but high-traffic areas may need repainting sooner.
Regular washing, maintenance, and using quality paint systems such as Resene products can help extend the life of painted surfaces and protect your property for longer.
Do you handle plaster repairs and surface preparation before painting?
Yes. Proper preparation is an important part of achieving a durable, long-lasting finish.
Our team can assist with plaster repairs, sanding, stripping, filling, surface preparation, and general remedial work before painting begins. We understand that preparation work often has a major impact on the final result and the long-term performance of the paint system.
Can work be completed as part of a renovation project?
Absolutely. Orkney Painting + Decorating regularly works alongside wider renovation and construction projects completed by the Orkney Group.
This allows painting work to be coordinated alongside other trades and project stages more efficiently, helping projects run more smoothly from preparation through to finishing work.
What type of properties do you work on?
We work across a wide range of residential and commercial properties throughout the Wellington region.
This includes family homes, apartments, rental properties, offices, and properties managed by landlords and property management companies. We also work alongside renovation and maintenance projects across both residential and commercial environments.
What paint systems work best for Wellington weather conditions?
Wellington’s climate can be demanding on exterior surfaces, particularly in exposed coastal areas where wind, moisture, UV exposure, and salt air can affect paint performance over time.
We commonly use Resene and Dulux paint systems and select products based on the type of surface, level of exposure, and overall condition of the property. Proper preparation, product selection, and ongoing maintenance all play an important role in helping painted surfaces last longer in Wellington conditions.
Do you work on occupied homes and businesses?
Yes. We regularly complete painting work in occupied homes, rental properties, offices, and commercial spaces.
Where possible, we work around occupants and business operations to minimise disruption, maintain safe working areas, and keep projects running efficiently throughout the painting process.
