Painting & Plastering Expertise for Newlands Properties
Newlands is Wellington’s 7th largest suburb, featuring predominantly 1960s-era housing stock alongside newer townhouse developments and modern builds. Located in a valley approximately 8.1 km north of Wellington’s CBD at about 138 meters elevation, the suburb offers a mix of weatherboard and brick family homes with some ridgeline properties boasting harbour and Hutt Valley views.
Housing Characteristics:
-
- The majority of properties built 1960-1969 (weatherboard and brick family homes)
- Recent townhouse developments (Newlands Centre, Spenmoor Street)
- Mix of original character homes and contemporary builds
- Different painting needs: 1960s homes require weatherboard prep and period techniques; modern builds suit contemporary coating systems
Climate & Weather Considerations:
-
- Moderate climate with good sun exposure
- Sheltered position = less wind than Wellington CBD
- Some valley areas receive limited afternoon sun
- Standard Wellington weather challenges (moisture, occasional strong winds, UV exposure)
Common Newlands Projects:
-
- Refreshing 1960s family homes
- Rental property maintenance and updates
- Pre-sale improvements
- New townhouse development painting
- Weatherboard restoration for older properties
