Paint & Stain (Interior & Exterior)
Interior Paint (Dulux Wash & Wear Low Sheen)
Section titled “Interior Paint (Dulux Wash & Wear Low Sheen)”All interior walls are finished in Dulux Wash & Wear Low Sheen. Touch-up paint has been provided in labelled containers with your handover pack.
Routine cleaning
Section titled “Routine cleaning”- For dust and light marks: wipe with a soft damp microfibre cloth.
- For scuffs and stains: damp cloth with mild detergent (a few drops of dishwashing liquid in warm water). Do not scrub aggressively or in tight circles — this can polish the paint and create a sheen difference.
- Always wipe in the direction of the original paint application where possible.
- Test any cleaning method on a small inconspicuous patch first.
Touch-up technique
Section titled “Touch-up technique”- Stir the touch-up paint thoroughly before use.
- Apply with a small roller (not a brush) for the best blend with surrounding wall.
- Feather the edges by lifting the roller gradually as you reach the edge of the touched-up area.
- Spot touch-ups may still be visible in raking light. Repainting the full wall gives the best result if a spot touch-up doesn’t blend.
Do NOT
Section titled “Do NOT”- Use abrasive cleaning pads, scouring sponges, or harsh chemical cleaners.
- Use solvent-based cleaners — they can soften the paint film.
- Allow water to pool against painted skirtings or architraves.
Exterior Paint (Dulux Weathershield)
Section titled “Exterior Paint (Dulux Weathershield)”Exterior surfaces are finished in Dulux Weathershield.
Routine cleaning
Section titled “Routine cleaning”- Wash annually with a garden hose and soft brush to remove dirt, dust, and surface mould.
- For mould or persistent grime: a mild detergent solution applied with a soft brush, rinsed thoroughly.
⚠️ CAUTION — No high-pressure washers
Do not use high-pressure water blasters — they can drive water behind cladding and into wall cavities.
Repaint schedule
Section titled “Repaint schedule”- Expect to repaint exterior surfaces every 7 to 10 years depending on orientation and exposure.
- South-facing and west-facing walls may need repainting sooner due to weather exposure.
- Have the surface inspected for chalking, peeling, or flaking before the next full repaint.

Section titled “Timber Stain (Feast Watson — Satin Black Japan)”Selected timber elements have a Feast Watson stain finish.
