Painting a shop or office in Rye
Every suburb is a different paint job. Here is what's particular to Rye, and what each thing means for the work.
Shopfronts that face the bay wind
Rye's shops line Point Nepean Road from Dundas Street to Lyons Street, and on to Hygeia Street, looking north over the foreshore to the bay. The Shire's design study of the centre records strong north-west winds off the water, foreshore planting that only partly shelters the shops, and sand blown across the road onto the shopfronts. Salt and grit are hard on door frames, window frames and signage panels. They need washing down before any paint, rust needs treating and priming, and galvanised gutters and downpipes are primed before the top coat.
Single-fronted shops with verandahs over the footpath
The same study describes the shops as small, mostly single-storey and single-fronted, built to the footpath with full-size windows and verandahs without posts. Painting one means working above a public footpath while the door stays open. When we come to look, we work out with you what gets masked and when people can still get in, and it goes in the written quote with the prep and the price with GST.
Food at one end, offices at the other
Food businesses cluster between Ozone Street and Weir Street, and professional suites run from Weir Street to Hunt Avenue. They are different jobs. In a kitchen or cafe, steam and cooking oil get into walls and ceilings, paint won't hold over grease, and any mould on a ceiling is treated and cleaned before it is painted. An office or consulting room is mostly scuffed walls and doors.
What the planning scheme asks for
The design overlay for Rye's town centre asks for materials that last in exposed coastal conditions, such as brick, steel, stone and treated timber, in muted earthy tones, with canopies over the footpath. If a repaint is part of bigger changes to a building, check the colours with the Shire first. Traffic here is at its heaviest in the peak holiday weeks, so the quieter months suit outside work better.
