Who you'll deal with

Meet the TNS crew

Theo has almost 10 years in the trade, including 5 to 6 years painting big commercial sites like the Chanel and Dior fit-outs at Chadstone. Your home gets that same standard.

He started TNS after watching painters skip the prep, take the deposit and disappear. So every wall here is sanded and undercoated, and the work is backed for 10 years.

Today our in-house crew of 6 brings over 25 years of combined experience. Our site manager inspects your home first, then the crew paints it and walks you through it at the end.

We answer the phone 7 days a week, so you’re never sent to voicemail. If anything isn’t right before sign-off, we come back and fix it free.

  • We sand and undercoat every wall
  • We move the furniture and lay drop sheets
  • We give you dates we can keep

Call 0452 486 399

How fast can I get a quote?

Within a day for a whole home. We do a free inspection first, then send a written quote.

Is the quote free?

Yes. Quotes are free, and so is the on-site inspection. You can also get colour advice on Dulux colours during the inspection.

Do you do the plastering and the painting?

Yes. One crew cuts out the damage, re-plasters and paints the walls, so you never book two trades or wait for a second one to turn up.

How long does a repaint take?

About 4 days for a 2-bedroom apartment and about 7 days for a 3 or 4-bedroom house. Bigger homes take longer, and we give you the dates up front.

What paint do you use?

Dulux on every home. Commercial and builder jobs use Berger, to match the job's specification.

Do I need to move the furniture?

No. We move large furniture, lay drop sheets and clean up when we finish. We don't pack up rooms, so please put small items and valuables away first.

What does the 10-year warranty cover?

Our workmanship, including the paint application and peeling. It doesn't cover structural moisture or water getting into the wall. Before sign-off, we also fix anything you're unhappy with at no cost.

Which areas do you cover?

Melbourne, within about 30 to 50 km of the CBD and out to Dandenong in the south-east. That includes Toorak, Malvern, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Brighton, Essendon, Glen Waverley and Doncaster.

Do you paint roofs?

Yes. Roof painting is part of our exterior work, along with walls, weatherboards and trims. We hire scaffolding or a boom lift when the job needs it.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We paint retail and office fit-outs, do insurance repairs, and patch and paint walls for HVAC, plumbing and electrical installers. Theo has painted the Chanel and Dior fit-outs at Chadstone, Oaks Hotels and Boral sites.

How fast can you patch a wall after a trade install?

Usually in one half-day visit. One crew cuts out the damage, re-plasters and paints it to match, so you can close the job and send your invoice.

You run your life. We'll handle the painting.

One crew for the plaster and the paint, and a clean home when you walk back in. At the end we walk you through every room.
