The look and appeal of timber add style to any home, but maintaining timber can sometimes be hard for those without experience. Our painters are trained to identify, prepare and treat all types of natural timber to either maintain the timber or restore it. If left without maintenance the timber will become worse as moisture can easily enter and be absorbed.

Weatherboard repairs from Melbourne's best

We specialise in complete weatherboard repairs of the highest quality.

We undertake any works from the early inspections in Melbourne, right through to any alterations needed/replacement or relining of the gutters themselves if necessary – combining first rate workmanship with guarantees of up to 25 years.

Custom Weatherboard Repairs Your Weatherboard your way!

Weatherboard is an archetypal characteristic in Australia’s housing landscape, and across the country you’ll find worker’s cottages, Federation houses, Queenslanders, Californian bungalows, and contemporary homes and renovations clad in this simple and functional material.

Weatherboards – also known as clapboard, bevel siding and lap siding – are traditionally available in timber. Nowadays they also come in aluminium, fibre-cement, metal, acrylic and vinyl. They are lightweight, easy to install and affordable, while protecting your house from the elements and insulating both noise and heat. Weatherboards offer a classic look on a traditional or modern home, as the following houses and renovations demonstrate.

  • Full Home Renovations

    Upgrade every aspect of your home! Demolishing and rebuilding a home is a long and exhausting process. You also end up without usable accommodation for months on end. It’s incredibly expensive!

  • Kitchen Renovations

    Renovating the kitchen is the most popular type of major renovation in a home. It’s also the best way to increase a home’s value if it were to be put on the market.

  • Bathroom Renovations

    We are highly dedicated to providing you with quality, affordable bathroom renovation services. Our quality work and excellent customer service have made us one of the most trusted names in the business.

  • Room Additions

    Adding a room (or more than one) is also very popular. Often, families with two or more children and not enough bedrooms choose to add on so each child can have their own bedroom.

Is your weatherboard home in need of some love?

When you look at the exterior painting on your home do you see flaking paint, unsightly mould, or an outdated colour scheme? Windows that don’t close properly and stairs, handrail and timber decking with wood rot are signs that your home needs some attention!

Weatherboard Repairs Solutions

Recladding can be fraught with traps for first-timers; so it pays to have an experienced team on your side. There’s a lot you need to get right – from sourcing the right timber, to navigating the intricacies of your building consent. As with any renovation, the final cost will depend on the scope of work. A villa reclad might range from simply replacing a few rotten weatherboards, to undergoing a full reclad and paint of the entire house. 

Most original villas are of weatherboard construction; although some were made of solid plastered brick. There are certain heritage restrictions around changing the look of your villa. These will be prescribed by your council; but as a rule of thumb, the aesthetics of your home must be in keeping with others in the street. If you want to change to an entirely new look – say, a monolithic cladding – then you’re facing a substantially bigger project.

Some of the problems a weatherboard house can face are:

  • Cracks
  • Damps
  • Regular maintenance

We think these are all very serious things when choosing a house, so let us help you with them!

Frequently Asked Questions

If an impact occurs on a slat board after its installation, there are two solutions possible:
- If the impact is minor (less than a few millimetres): there are pots of touch-up paint to hide the impact.
- If the impact is extensive (more than a few millimetres): efficient replacement solutions for weatherboards are available.

The best time to treat any external timber is before the damage begins.  If the surface colour is faded or oxidised and no longer beads water, your timber needs re-treatment with a wood oil or stain.  Exposed timber, discolouration (black spots or marks or silvering) or the appearance of moulds (white, red, green, or black) or moss and lichens are indications that maintenance is well over due.

Yes, we encourage you to take an interest in maintaining your property.  Please ask us for our recommendations first.  To avoid damaging the timber and removing the protective coating don’t use a water blaster, chemicals, or stiff bristle brushes.  A regular light hosing off (soft wash) of the cladding with clean water will help remove the build-up of air-borne contaminants such as dust, pollens and salt air residues.

We encourage you to show an interest and be active in caring for your home and are happy to help you in that regard.  But bear in mind that treatment is a specialised area, very physical work and does require a level of practical ability, the right equipment, and time.  Considering that well-maintained boards will add much value to your property having the work done by specialists is a good investment.
