Building & Construction Services

Painting reveals what's underneath — cracked render, water damage, tired plasterboard. Because we build as well as we paint, DuraCoat fixes the structure and the finish in one seamless project.

The DuraCoat difference

Construction work, done properly

Nothing stalls a renovation like juggling three trades who don't talk to each other. The plasterer blames the builder, the painter blames the plasterer, and you're stuck making phone calls instead of enjoying your finished space.

DuraCoat runs building and painting under one roof. Our construction team handles the repairs, renovations, and surface remediation; our painters finish what they build. One quote, one schedule, one accountable partner — and a finish that's warranted from the framing out.

Good questions

Answers before you ask

What building work do you take on?

Renovations, extensions, plastering and drywall, waterproofing, roofing repairs and restoration, rendering, and concrete repairs. If it's the kind of work that a great paint finish depends on, we do it in-house.

Why hire one company for building and painting?

Because the handover between trades is where projects go wrong. With DuraCoat there's one quote, one schedule, and one warranty covering both the build and the finish — and our painters never blame 'the other guy's' prep, because it's ours.

Are you licensed and insured for construction?

Yes — we're a licensed contractor with full public liability insurance and workers' compensation. Licence details are listed on every quote, and certificates are available on request.

Can you find and fix damage before painting?

That's exactly our strength. Water damage, cracked render, failed waterproofing, and rotten timber all get diagnosed and repaired properly before any finish goes on — so you're not painting over a problem that resurfaces in six months.

Who manages the project?

One DuraCoat project manager is your single point of contact from quote to handover. They coordinate every trade, keep you updated, and are accountable for schedule and budget.

They found water damage behind our bathroom wall mid-job, fixed it, waterproofed it, and still finished on schedule. One phone number for everything — that's why we picked them.
