Painting inside a Mornington house
The houses here and how they're lived in, and what each means for the rooms inside.
Painting around someone who has lived there for decades
Mornington's median age at the 2021 census was 50, against 38 for Victoria, and 5.2% of residents were 85 or older, more than double the state's share. Four homes in ten are owned outright, and 31.5% of households are one person. A lot of inside painting here is for someone who has lived in the house for decades and is staying. The house is full, the furniture is heavy, and nobody wants to move out for a week. Tell us which rooms you live in and we plan the order of the rooms around you. Ask to see our insurance certificate whenever you like.
Painting hard plaster, cornices and ceiling roses
The Shire's heritage study records the inside of one Mornington house from 1892: three rooms either side of a passage, moulded skirtings and architraves, moulded plaster cornices, ceiling roses in the front rooms and hard plaster walls. The old streets behind the Esplanade have more like it. Hard plaster cracks where plasterboard would dent, and a ceiling rose clogged with old paint loses its detail. Cracks are filled and sanded before painting. Trims of that age carry old oil-based enamel. We don't do lead paint removal, so if the early coats might hold lead, have them tested before anyone sands.
Painting units and flats near the town centre
About one Mornington home in five is a flat, a unit or a townhouse: 10.6% flats and apartments and 11.2% townhouses at the 2021 census, and 21.9% of homes have two bedrooms. The Shire's character study notes a clear trend to subdividing lots and building several dwellings on them, mostly close to the town centre and the foreshore. For a unit, tell us about parking and stairs. For a shared stairwell, foyer or hallway, the owners corporation or the strata manager can ask us to quote directly.
Mould and old enamel in houses from the 1970s, 80s and 90s
Half of Mornington's houses were built between 1970 and 2000 on the Shire's property records: 19% in the 1970s, 14% in the 1980s and 17% in the 1990s, with the older ones to the west, nearer the foreshore. Bathrooms and laundries from those decades have had thirty to fifty years of steam. Mould on a wet-area ceiling is treated and cleaned off by our painters before paint goes on. Every quote also checks the doors and skirtings for old oil-based enamel, because it changes the prep.
Repainting rentals and holiday lets between bookings
A local paper wrote in 1912 that Mornington owners would rather let their houses furnished to visitors than unfurnished to a steady tenant. At the 2021 census 21.3% of homes were rented and 9.4% were empty on census night. If the house is let, tell us the dates between bookings or leases, and they go in the written quote with the prep and the price with GST. We can quote your property manager directly.

Interior Repaint in Mornington
In Mornington, most houses were built from the late 1950s through to the 1990s. Houses from before 1970 can have lead-based paint in the older layers. Aussie Painting doesn't do lead paint removal, so if you're not sure, have it tested before any sanding. Doors and trims in houses of that age often still carry oil-based enamel. Painting over it changes the prep, so every quote checks for it. Mouldy bathroom and laundry ceilings are treated and cleaned before any paint goes on, so the mould doesn't come back through.
