Melbourne Protective Coatings + Painting

A weathered commercial building in Glen Iris needed more than a fresh coat of paint. Its rendered and non-rendered exterior surfaces also needed reliable protection from Melbourne’s changing weather.

Melbourne Protective Coatings restored the façade with a tailored exterior coating system, using Dulux Acratex on rendered surfaces and Dulux Weathershield on non-rendered areas. Thorough surface preparation helped ensure both systems were applied correctly for a durable, professional finish.

The completed project revitalised the building’s appearance while strengthening protection against weathering, UV exposure and everyday wear, helping reduce ongoing maintenance and keep the exterior looking its best for years to come.

Commercial Roof Waterproofing & Rust Protection in Mulgrave

A leaking, rusting commercial roof can quickly become a bigger problem, especially when the building is in constant use.

That was the challenge for Alsco Uniforms in Mulgrave. Their 4,400 m² roof had active leaks, spreading rust and a constant build-up of lint from extraction vents.

Melbourne Protective Coatings tackled the issues with thorough roof preparation, reinforcement, StormShield Essentials waterproofing measures and two full coats of Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane.

With lint continuing to settle during the work, additional cleaning was needed between coating stages to help ensure proper adhesion.

The result was a durable waterproofing and anti-corrosion system designed to protect against water ingress and further rust development.

Sharp lines. Consistent colour. Durable protection. Professional results.

For the Goodyear Auto Braeside conversion, Melbourne Protective Coatings was tasked with transforming the interior and exterior of the former Beaurepaires site to meet Goodyear's corporate brand standards.

Achieving the result required more than applying new paint. Surfaces were carefully cleaned and prepared before a three-coat coating system was applied throughout the building.

High-access areas were completed using a 32-foot scissor lift, helping maintain consistent workmanship across elevated sections.

The successful completion of this first conversion led to almost 10 more Goodyear projects across Victoria and interstate.

The Box Hill TAFE pedestrian bridge is used every day by thousands of students, staff and visitors, making long-term protection essential. After years of exposure to Melbourne's harsh weather, the bridge's exterior steelwork had developed peeling paint and visible rust, requiring more than just a cosmetic refresh.

Our team completed a full commercial protective coating and exterior steel restoration, beginning with thorough surface preparation to remove contaminants and deteriorated coatings. We then applied a proven three-coat system using Dulux 1Step Prep Primer followed by two coats of Dulux Weathershield to deliver outstanding adhesion, corrosion protection and long-lasting weather resistance. Using specialised elevated access equipment, every section of the bridge was safely restored to a consistent, high-quality finish.

The result is a revitalised campus asset that's built to withstand the elements while maintaining its appearance for years to come.

Metal Roof Restoration in Northcote: Extending Roof Life Without Replacement

When rust, leaks, and weathering began affecting this Northcote body corporate property, the goal was clear: restore and protect the existing roof before deterioration led to costly replacement works.

Following a detailed roof assessment, our team identified corrosion, water ingress risks, degraded sections, and box gutter issues. Using a 26' scissor lift, we completed extensive surface preparation, reinforced vulnerable areas, and applied the Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane® across the roof and gutters.

The result was a restored roofing system protected against corrosion and water ingress, helping extend the roof's service life while avoiding the disruption and expense of a full replacement.

A great example of how proactive roof restoration can help body corporates protect their assets and maximise the lifespan of ageing metal roofing systems.

Exterior Repainting Project for The Corner Hotel in Alexandra VIC

The Corner Hotel in Alexandra had undergone significant internal renovations, and the exterior needed to reflect the same high standard. Years of weather exposure had left the building looking tired, so Melbourne Protective Coatings was engaged to deliver a complete exterior repaint designed to enhance presentation and provide long-term protection.

Our team carried out a detailed assessment, extensive surface preparation, and applied a premium Dulux coating system tailored for commercial exteriors. Using specialised access equipment and careful project planning, we safely restored weathered surfaces, refreshed the building's appearance, and delivered a durable finish built to withstand Alexandra’s changing conditions.

The result is a revitalised exterior that complements the hotel’s transformation, improves street appeal, and helps protect the property for years to come.

Extreme Rust Restoration For A Fairfield Commercial Roof

A Fairfield commercial roof was affected by widespread rust, active leaks and ongoing deterioration, placing building operations at risk. To avoid the high cost and disruption of a full replacement, Melbourne Protective Coatings delivered a complete Noxyde System roof restoration instead.

Works included pressure washing, re-fixing loose sheets and fasteners, sealing deteriorated box gutters, and reinforcing all joints and penetrations.

Two coats of Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane were applied, forming a seamless waterproof barrier that stops further rust and moisture ingress. High-risk areas were reinforced with waterproofing tape for added durability.

Result: a fully sealed, strengthened roof with improved waterproofing and extended service life without replacement.

Solving Major Roof Leaks at Epping Club Sydney

Melbourne Protective Coatings completed a commercial roof waterproofing project for Epping Club, resolving ongoing roof leaks affecting the venue. Around 20 active leaks were causing damage to ceilings, lighting, carpets, and newly completed internal fitout works, making urgent repairs essential.

With solar panels and large plant equipment covering the roof, the project required careful planning and detailed waterproofing work. Our team installed a complete waterproofing system using Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane, designed to provide long-term flexibility, durability, and seamless protection for ageing metal roofs.

The result was a fully sealed roofing system that eliminated leaks, protected internal assets, reduced future maintenance, and extended the roof’s lifespan without the cost of a full replacement.

Stop wasting money on temporary fixes, discover how proper roof waterproofing, rust protection, and cool roof solutions can permanently solve leaking, rusting, and overheating commercial metal roofs while reducing long term costs and disruption.

Specialised Roof Waterproofing at Howmans Gap Alpine Centre in Falls Creek

Melbourne Protective Coatings delivered a cost-effective roof waterproofing solution at Howmans Gap Alpine Centre in Falls Creek for YMCA Victoria, restoring a leaking, ageing metal roof in a challenging alpine environment.

Instead of a costly full replacement, our team applied a high-performance Noxyde anti-corrosion membrane system, sealing leaks, stabilising rust, and extending the roof’s lifespan. The project included full roof preparation, fastening repairs, advanced sealing techniques, and dual membrane coating, all completed with strict safety systems in place.

This approach saved over $300,000 while providing long-term protection against harsh mountain conditions. The result is a durable, weather-resistant roofing system that safeguards the facility for years to come, proving restoration can outperform replacement when done right.
