High Rise Painting Brisbane & Sunshine Coast

Alltech Coatings is a team of specialist high rise and high access painters servicing apartment blocks, commercial towers and strata-managed buildings across South East Queensland. Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast are our primary markets, and we also travel from the Gold Coast as far north as Rockhampton. We are QBCC licensed, fully insured and every painter on site is IRATA-certified for rope access — so your repaint is delivered safely, on schedule and to a standard that lasts.

When undertaking a repaint of a high rise building or apartment block, there are three important things to take into consideration.

Access

Many of the facades and external balcony surfaces will be inaccessible to painters without using forms of access such as boom lifts, swinging stages, scaffolding, or our preferred method for painting high access areas — industrial abseiling (rope access).

Although our team of commercial painters is qualified to use all forms of access usually harnessed to carry out a high-rise painting project in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, our experience has shown that rope access is the safest, most efficient and least disruptive means of painting.

When painting high-rises, the safety of residents and guests is absolutely paramount. That’s why Alltech Coatings has in-house workplace health and safety experts on board to assess each high rise repaint individually and devise a plan to ensure the painting project runs safely and smoothly.

Products

Choosing the right professional paint product for your high rise can mean the difference between a coating system that stands the test of time and protects your building for years to come, and one that fails far too early.

Before selecting a coating system for your high rise or apartment building, our paint technicians factor in the location of the building — proximity to salt water has a major influence on the paint you choose — the substrate it is to be painted on, and the type of product previously applied to your building.

Once a proper assessment or Building Health Diagnosis has been carried out on the current state of your high rise building’s surfaces and substrates, you will receive a detailed report with recommendations for products and methods for carrying out pre-paint remedial works that will ensure the longevity of your paint job. As a Dulux Accredited applicator, qualifying projects are backed by a 10-year warranty.

Business Continuity

Painting your high-rise building is already a big investment for you and your stakeholders.

At Alltech, we understand this and do everything we can to ensure the painting project doesn’t also become an inconvenience for your business, residents or guests.

By taking the time to understand your operations, we are able to put together the most low-impact access solutions and time schedules that allow you to carry on business as usual while the high rise painting project is in progress.

Why Choose Alltech Coatings for Your High Rise Repaint?

  • IRATA-certified rope access team — internationally recognised qualifications for safe abseiling. All work is handled by experts who work on high rise projects every day.
  • No costly scaffolding — old-school scaffolding is obtrusive, outdated and time-consuming. The ‘dead time’ of setup, rental and removal runs up the project price unnecessarily and disrupts residents. Our modern rope-access techniques get the job done in the quickest time possible.
  • QBCC licensed & fully insured — complete peace of mind for body corporate committees and building managers.
  • Dulux 10-year warranty available on qualifying high rise repaints.
  • Quality is our culture — our high rise painting specialists are passionate about delivering outstanding results that exceed expectations every time.

On average, high rise buildings need painting roughly every 10 years before they run the risk of developing chalky, failing paint, cracks and other issues that cause more serious damage to the building’s substrates. If you think it might be time to repaint, it pays to act before minor wear becomes costly remedial work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a high rise building be repainted?

Most high rise and apartment buildings need repainting around every 7–10 years, though coastal buildings exposed to salt air may need attention sooner. A Building Health Diagnosis will tell you exactly where your building stands.

Do you use scaffolding or rope access?

Wherever practical we use industrial rope access (abseiling), which is faster, safer and far less disruptive than scaffolding — and avoids the significant ‘dead time’ costs of scaffold setup and removal. We are equipped for all access methods where a project requires them.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Alltech Coatings is QBCC licensed and fully insured, and our rope access painters are IRATA certified.

Will the work disrupt residents and tenants?

We plan every project around your building’s operations to keep disruption to an absolute minimum, scheduling access so residents, guests and businesses can carry on as usual.
