FAQ
Property maintenance — common questions
Who maintains the exterior of an owners corporation building?+
Under Victoria's Owners Corporations Act 2006, the owners corporation must repair and maintain the common property, and lot owners look after their own lots. Whether a roof or external wall is common property depends on the plan of subdivision, so check it before work is commissioned.
Why does exterior paint peel or blister?+
The usual causes are moisture behind the paint film, painting over dirty, chalking or unsound surfaces, and failed earlier coats. Repainting over these without fixing the cause usually fails again, so the moisture source and surface preparation matter more than the paint chosen.
When is a crack in a wall or render more than cosmetic?+
Fine hairline cracks that do not change over time are generally cosmetic. Cracks that are growing, stepped or diagonal, or that come with doors and windows jamming or water getting in, can indicate movement and call for assessment before any patching.
Can several repair items be grouped into one project?+
Yes. Related maintenance items such as plastering, painting and timber repairs can be combined into one scope. Grouping avoids repeated access set-up and keeps make-good finishes consistent where one trade disturbs another's work.
