Painters in Burwood for Federation Homes and Apartment Towers
AKD Painting works across Burwood 2134, from the Federation homes around The Appian Way to the apartment blocks near the station and Westfield. We know the Burwood Council heritage controls on the grand homes, we test for lead on anything built before 1970, and we quote strata and multi-storey buildings with the access and staging spelled out. Honest quotes, clean prep, no shortcuts on the parts you cannot see.
House Painters in Burwood for Heritage Homes and Strata Blocks
Burwood asks two different things of a painter. On the ridge it is grand Victorian and Federation homes with heritage controls, lead-painted timber and decorative joinery that has to be restored properly. Around the station it is multi-storey apartment blocks where access, staging and owners-corporation coordination decide the job. We do both, and we scope each one honestly rather than off a template. Alex and the AKD crew work across the inner-west and Burwood area every week. We quote in person, walk the heritage or the access plan with you, and put the full scope in writing.
Before you repaint in Burwood: Burwood Council rules
Approval to repaint: Outside a heritage conservation area, repainting is exempt development. For heritage homes, Burwood Council allows repainting in the same colours, but a new colour scheme needs a paint schedule and written sign-off from council first.
Scaffolding over the footpath: Needs a hoarding permit from council before it goes up. We tell you on the quote if your job needs one.
Lead paint: Homes built before 1970 often have lead in the older coats. We test before sanding and use lead-safe methods: wet scraping, dust containment and no open-flame stripping.
Information checked October 2026. Rules change, so we confirm the current position for your street when we quote.

Our Painting Services in Burwood
Burwood homes split into two kinds of job, and we quote them differently. A Federation house on the ridge needs lead-safe prep on its timber and a period colour scheme that sits within Burwood Council’s heritage controls. A strata tower near the station needs an access plan before a brush comes out. AKD Painting holds NSW Painting Licence 330882C, is Dulux Accredited, and backs every job with a 5-year written workmanship warranty.
Interior Painting
Interior painters in Burwood work in very different rooms: high plaster ceilings and decorative joinery in the old villas, compact living areas in the apartment towers. We repair cracks, protect floors and keep each room usable.
Exterior Painting
Residential painting in Burwood often means a large Federation or Victorian house on a generous block. Street-facing face brick stays bare in the conservation areas, so the work goes into timber, render and trim, finished in period colours.
Roof Painting
Many of Burwood's grand homes sit under slate or terracotta, which should be repaired and cleaned rather than coated. Concrete tile and metal roofs on later houses take a proper recoat, and we will tell you which yours is.
Timber and Detail Work
Bargeboards, finials, verandah joinery and leadlight sashes on Victorian and Federation homes are stripped, repaired and primed before paint, with sealed prep and HEPA extraction for the lead in older undercoats.
Commercial & Large-Scale Painting
Burwood has one of Sydney's densest apartment cores, plus Art Deco walk-ups and post-war brick flats. We price common property with boom lifts or swing stages where needed, and stage the work so buildings stay occupied.
Our Portfolio
Our portfolio covers jobs right across Sydney. For a Burwood property, look at the Federation timber restoration, the period colour work and the larger strata repaints, since those are the two jobs this suburb asks for most.
Why Choose AKD Painting in Burwood

“AKD were able to come to my place with very little notice. They were so tidy and clean. My floors were being removed so i told them not to worry about drop sheets but there was no paint left anywhere. The finish is beautiful such straight lines. Would highly recommend them for my next job.”

Burwood Painting FAQs
What warranty do you offer on painting in Burwood?
Every job carries a 5-year written workmanship warranty covering flaking, peeling, blistering, and adhesion failure attributable to application. Manufacturer paint warranties run in parallel and can extend to 10 or 15 years depending on the product applied.
How much do painters charge in Burwood?
House painting prices in Burwood move with the size and age of the home. A large Federation or Victorian house on a generous block involves lead-safe prep on its timber, repairs to bargeboards and finials, and a period colour scheme if it sits in a conservation area. Multi-storey strata blocks are priced mostly on access, such as boom lifts or swing stages, plus render crack repair and staging around residents. After a free on-site visit you get a fixed written quote. For general guidance, see what it costs to paint a house in Sydney.
Are you licensed and insured to paint in Burwood?
AKD Painting holds NSW Painting Licence 330882C and carries full public liability insurance. Both are listed on every written quote and can be verified through NSW Fair Trading.
We own a Federation home near The Appian Way in Burwood. Can we repaint the exterior in a modern grey and white scheme?
On the timber, render and trim you have some room, but not a free hand. Homes in and around The Appian Way sit in a heritage conservation area, and graded Federation houses are expected to keep period-correct colour schemes on the street elevation. Original face brick also has to stay unpainted. For Burwood’s non-heritage brick homes it is a different call; our guide to painting brick houses covers which brick takes paint well. We check your address against the Burwood Council heritage mapping, prepare a colour board that reads as heritage-appropriate but still fresh, and flag anything that would need approval before we start.
We are the owners corporation for an apartment block near Burwood station. Can you handle a full external repaint of a multi-storey building?
Yes. We quote large strata buildings with the access, staging and safety spelled out: elevated work platforms or swing stages where needed, render crack repair, sealed prep, and a coating system matched to the building’s exposure. We coordinate timing and notice with the strata manager and residents and stage the work so the building stays occupied and usable throughout. Everything is fixed-price and in writing before we start.
AKD Painting also works in nearby painters in Croydon, painters in Strathfield and painters in Concord.
