Exterior Repainting Project for The Corner Hotel in Alexandra VIC

As part of a broader building upgrade, The Corner Hotel in Alexandra required an exterior refurbishment to complement the improvements being made throughout the venue.

Melbourne Protective Coatings was engaged to complete a full exterior repaint after years of weather exposure had left sections of the building looking worn and weathered. Following a comprehensive assessment, our team identified ageing surfaces that required extensive preparation to ensure a durable, long-lasting result.

The project involved thorough surface preparation, safe access to elevated areas using a 26-foot scissor lift, and careful planning to minimise disruption to hotel operations. To enhance durability and appearance, a premium Dulux coating system was specified, including Dulux 1Step Prep, Acratex AcraShield Advance Low Gloss for exterior walls, and Dulux Weathershield for doors, windows and trim.

The refurbishment transformed the building's presentation with a clean, professional finish that complements the hotel's upgraded interior spaces while providing improved protection against Alexandra's changing weather conditions. Through meticulous preparation, quality workmanship and effective project management, Melbourne Protective Coatings completed a result designed to maintain its appearance and performance for years to come.

Extreme Rust Restoration For A Fairfield Commercial Roof

A commercial property in Fairfield was experiencing widespread roof rust, active leaks and deterioration affecting internal works and overall building integrity. The owner needed a long-term, cost-effective solution to stabilise corrosion and avoid full roof replacement.

Melbourne Protective Coatings delivered a structured restoration despite challenges including weakened fixings, lifted sheets requiring stabilisation, restricted access requiring safety systems, and deteriorated box gutters that were actively leaking and needed reinforcement before coating.

Works included a full Noxyde System restoration: pressure washing, re-tensioning fasteners, application of Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane, reinforcement of joints, laps and penetrations with waterproofing tape, and a second coat for durability.

Noxyde is a high-build elastomeric membrane for corrosion protection and waterproofing on metal roofs, forming a seamless flexible barrier with direct-to-rust adhesion.

The result delivered a stabilised roof, sealed gutters and joints, long-term corrosion and leak protection, extending roof 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.

Commercial metal roofs often fail due to expansion, UV exposure, and ageing components like sealants, joints, and gutters rather than the sheets themselves.

Leaks typically start at weak points such as penetrations and box gutters, and patch repairs fail because they don’t address the overall roof condition or ongoing movement.

MPC resolves this by properly assessing the entire roof and applying membrane-based restoration systems or recommending full replacement when needed, ensuring long-term waterproofing, flexibility, and protection.

Melbourne Protective Coatings delivered a specialised roof waterproofing system at Howmans Gap Alpine Centre in Falls Creek for YMCA Victoria, restoring a leaking and ageing metal roof in a remote alpine environment. With active leaks, corrosion, and replacement costs approaching half a million dollars, the project required a practical and cost-effective alternative to full re-roofing.

Instead of replacement, a proven anti-corrosion waterproofing system was applied to restore and protect the existing roof. The works included full surface cleaning, removal of an obsolete solar system, re-tensioning and fastening of roof sheets, and installation of edge protection for site safety. Advanced sealing methods were incorporated, including specialised tape applications and StormShield waterproofing measures, followed by two full coats of a high-build elastomeric membrane designed to seal leaks and encapsulate rust.

This approach delivered a seamless, flexible barrier capable of withstanding harsh mountain conditions while preventing further deterioration. The result was a fully sealed and protected roof, completed efficiently despite access challenges. By choosing restoration over replacement, YMCA Victoria saved over $300,000 while extending the roof’s service life with a durable, long-term waterproofing solution.

Stopping Recurring Roof Leaks for Good Guys Brighton Melbourne

Our team at Melbourne Protective Coatings completed a full-system waterproofing roofing project at Good Guys Brighton in Melbourne, restoring and protecting the commercial metal roof while safeguarding internal retail operations. The property included a large solar installation, making long-term roof protection critical.

The roof had recurring leaks, damaging merchandise and accelerating corrosion, with loose screws and lifted sheets requiring stabilisation before waterproofing could begin. Precision sealing around the solar infrastructure was essential.

We applied a high-build Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane, selected for its direct-to-rust adhesion, 200% flexibility, and proven performance on ageing metal roofs. The works included high-pressure cleaning, re-tensioning and fastening of roof sheets, perimeter edge protection, and advanced reinforcement tape and StormShield waterproofing measures. Two full coats of Noxyde formed a seamless, flexible barrier that resists corrosion, accommodates roof movement, and prevents future water ingress.

The project delivered a durable, long-term solution without full roof replacement. Good Guys Brighton now operates beneath a fully sealed, corrosion-resistant roof, protecting solar panels, retail goods, and the building’s structural integrity. This restoration extended the roof’s lifespan and provided a cost-effective, reliable solution for the property manager.

Our team at Melbourne Protective Coatings helped a CBD body corporate on Little Bourke St. put an end to ongoing roof leaks, without the hassle or huge cost of a full replacement.

The building had rusty gutters, loose fixings, and leaking skylight seals, which had previously left owners facing quotes of over half a million dollars.

With tight access and tricky safety conditions, our team carefully prepared the roof, using specialist platforms, edge rails, and the right tools to get the job done safely.

We applied the Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane, a flexible, high-build system that sticks directly to rusted metal, seals small cracks, and moves with the roof to prevent future leaks.

Our team cleaned, stabilised, reinforced, and coated the entire roof using custom spray equipment and scissor lifts to reach every corner. The result is a fully waterproofed roof with long-term protection and a much longer service life, all for less than a third of the replacement cost.

The body corporate now has peace of mind, minimal disruption, and a durable solution that will keep the building dry for years to come.
