Heritage Home Restoration in Ascot Vale
From the lace-trimmed Victorians on Union Road to the grand Edwardians near the Showgrounds, Ascot Vale is a living museum. Golden Deco doesn’t just paint these homes; we curate them. We offer boutique, slow-craft restoration for owners who value historical accuracy over speed.
Specialised Care for Victorian & Edwardian Architecture
We don’t spray and pray. Our artisans hand-paint delicate timber fretwork and cast-iron lacework to ensure sharp lines and zero overspray on your tessellated tiles.
The "Strip & Soothe" Protocol
Old weatherboards need more than a quick sand. We safely strip lead-based paint using HEPA-filter extraction, then treat the raw timber with preservatives before applying premium, breathable oil-based undercoats.
For unrendered brick terraces, we use mineral silicates and limewash paints that allow your 100-year-old bricks to breathe, preventing the “blistering” caused by modern acrylics.
High-End Interior Detailing (The Interior)
Ceiling Roses & Cornices
Your ornate plasterwork deserves respect. We use fine artist brushes to restore the definition of ceiling roses and cornices, ensuring they pop against the ceiling colour without clogging the details.
Lath & Plaster Restoration
Cracked walls? We don’t just patch them. We stabilise the original lath and plaster, using scrim tape and heritage-grade fillers to ensure the cracks don’t return next season.
High-Gloss Enamel Doors
Nothing beats the glass-like finish of hand-brushed enamel on a grand entrance door. We lay off the paint by hand to achieve a deep, mirror-like gloss that spray guns can’t replicate.

Why Ascot Vale Locals Choose Craftsmanship Over Speed
We Don't "Factory Finish
Some competitors take your windows off-site to spray them in a factory. We believe your home’s character is built on-site. We painstakingly restore windows and doors in situ, ensuring the fit and finish perfectly matches the surrounding architecture.
Heritage Colour Diplomacy
Navigating Council Heritage Overlays can be a nightmare. Our colour consultants know the strict Ascot Vale palette rules. We help you choose colours that respect history and brighten your home—getting your plans approved faster.
Respect for "The Old Lady"
We treat your vintage home with reverence. We use lightweight scaffolding to protect fragile slate roofs and lay heavy-duty protection over heritage tessellated verandah tiles to ensure zero damage.
Your Heritage Home Deserves a Master’s Touch
Don’t trust your Victorian masterpiece to a “fast food” painting franchise. Choose the local artisans who understand the patience required for true restoration.
We use only the finest premium brands, including Haymes, Taubmans and Dulux.

Yes. As part of our preparation, we can free up painted-shut sash windows, replace the cords, and lubricate the pulleys before we paint them, ensuring they work as beautifully as they look.
