Minimising Disruption in Shared Spaces

Common spaces like lobbies, corridors, and garages see constant activity. Repainting these areas keeps a property modern and well-maintained - but it can also cause inconvenience if not managed properly.

At Grange Banks, we specialise in repainting live environments where hundreds of residents come and go daily. Here’s how to refresh shared spaces with minimal disruption. 1. Planning Around People

Every building has unique traffic patterns - morning commutes, evening arrivals, delivery schedules.

By mapping these patterns, painters can schedule noisy or odorous tasks during quieter periods, such as mid-mornings or after hours.

Staged programming - one floor, one carpark zone, or one entry at a time - keeps facilities accessible throughout the project.

2. Clear Communication

In strata settings, transparency reduces frustration. Before work begins, residents should receive a detailed schedule outlining:

• Which areas are being painted and when.

• Expected noise or odour.

• Alternative access points.

We provide printed notices, email updates, and progress photos so committees and residents always know what’s happening.

3. Low-Odour, Quick-Curing Coatings

Modern low-VOC products eliminate most traditional paint smells and allow rapid re-use of spaces. This is especially useful for enclosed corridors, lifts, or basement levels.

These coatings are safer for residents with sensitivities and improve air quality across the property.

4. Clean, Safe Work Environments

Safety and presentation go hand-in-hand. Work zones are cordoned off, signage displayed, and all tools packed away after each shift. Daily site clean-ups and end-of-week walkthroughs ensure the property remains tidy and hazard-free.

5. Respect and Professionalism

Residents appreciate professionalism - punctuality, courtesy, and attention to detail. Our crews are trained to engage politely, handle concerns quickly, and maintain quiet, efficient operations.

A successful strata repaint depends on communication, planning, and respect. By staging work, using low-impact products, and keeping residents informed, body corporates can achieve a fresh, renewed environment without unnecessary disruption.
