Palm Beach State School has a brand new, whopping 3000 sqm learning centre for its students to enjoy. Leisuretex was contracted to do the work with a scope that included the internal and external painting of classrooms, hallways, ceilings/walls, staircases, and common zones.
When painting its perforated ceilings, extra care had to be taken to ensure vents and holes would not become clogged. A significant amount of attention was placed on the priming and painting finish, resulting in a flawless ceiling that still allows for efficient airflow.

Leisuretex Painting Contractors were contracted by Adco Constructions to complete the external and internal painting of the retail complex and internal painting of the Woolworths Supermarket.
Woolworths Meadowbrook is a newly constructed retail development in Loganlea across from the Logan Hospital. Leisuretex Painting Contractors were contracted by Adco Constructions to complete the external and internal painting of the retail complex and internal painting of the Woolworths Supermarket.
Internally the painting works completed are standard for any retail store or particularly supermarket; the food handling areas are painted with gloss paint to ensure easy clean, with the rest of the supermarket being standard painting work.
However externally, the complex paint work is performed. This Woolworths store had a feature stripe wall painted on one wall. These stripes are measured and painted by hand by our painters in stages. The first stage the base colour coat is applied, then the second colour slightly darker shape is measured, drawn and painted, then finally each individual stripe is measured and painted. These works are completed using a scissorlift as the painters need to be able to easily move up and down to ensure the lines are perfect and even.
Other works performed externally included an anti-graffiti coating applied to the building exterior, painting of the feature grey panels and staining of the timber beams.
“I would like to personally thank you and your team for the successful completion of Woolworths Meadowbrook project. The client has advised that they were extremely happy with the quality of finish and the fact that the defect work was actioned and completed prior to hand over. This feedback places ADCO in good stead for future repeat business, in turn creating potential work for such companies as yours. I look forward to working with you, your company and team on future projects if appointed. Again, thanks for the great result- it was a team effort!” – Matt Edwards – Adco Constructions
‘One’, 1 The Esplanade are luxury holiday apartments located in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Being the only absolute beachfront accommodation along the Esplanade and just a few minutes walk to major attractions, this makes ‘One’ a popular choice for visitors to the Gold Coast.
As part of a major refurbishment, Leisuretex was contracted to complete a full repaint to the facade and address the concrete spalling that was evident around the XX storey building.
SCOPE OF WORKS
FULL EXTERNAL REPAINT CONCRETE SPALLING REPAIRS
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Height access and oceanfront weather conditions were main considerations in mitigating risk and protecting the glass balustrade from falling concrete or debris. Safety was key again in working amongst a high pedestrian zone that would be remain busy during working times.
In keeping noise and disruption to a minimum we needed to consider our working process and use of equipment, reducing the amount of exposure to staff and visitors.
Importance was placed on creating a seamless look when repairing the concrete cancer that required removal from the underside of balcony soffits and concrete columns and hobs.
THE SOLUTION
After a site risk assessment was performed, Leisuretex constructed a comprehensive work schedule which included strict measures for safety management and hazard control. We would continue a strong line of communication with One, advising of upcoming works and sign posting for visitors to the building. Leisuretex also had a gantry so pedestrians below could continue access through to Surfers Paradise safely.
A combination of swing stage, abseil and scaffolding were the necessary access equipment, allowing our IRATA trained painting team to move swiftly through stages of the project while also being able to make manoeuvres as they were needed from start to finish. Time consideration for using this equipment also meant less disruption for our clients and guests.
To bring the building’s concrete back to it’s original condition we used a process was that…
RESULTS
All affected concrete hobs were reformed and previous concrete paint & textures were aligned to look its original state of appearance. This removal of concrete cancer will not only prolong the life of the building but also prevents future structural issues and expensive repairs.
Both safety and comfort were priorities for the One’s tenants and visitors who continued to enjoy the buzz of the Broadbeach mall with minimal disruption from the works in progress.
Client testimonial:
We are so happy that we decided to use Leisuretex for remedial works and the painting of our iconic high rise apartments here in Surfers Paradise. Having undergone a refurbishment some years ago we were mindful to engage a contractor that understood the importance of minimising noise and disruption to guests and our usual business operations.
It was pleasing to see that Leisuretex are experienced in coordinating project-focused goals with quality service. They tackled project tasks quickly with minimal disruption to our business operations; this combined with the finished results is proof they’ve adopted a methodology that obviously works with a team of workers that know how to interact and execute projects efficiently.
