Carus Group Wellington delivers commercial painting and asset maintenance services across Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and the wider Wellington region. Operating locally since 2016, the team has completed thousands of painting projects for schools, government agencies, businesses and commercial property managers, with specific expertise in Wellington's coastal climate and seismic requirements.
Services span interior and exterior painting, roof painting and cleaning, high pressure and chemical washing, specialised coatings, moss and mould treatments, and ongoing painting maintenance programmes. Carus works across a wide range of industries including education, commercial, industrial, aged care, healthcare, body corporate, hospitality, government and public sector, and churches and community organisations.
The Wellington team includes Lower North Regional Manager Blake James-Rowe, Business Development Manager Sydonie Fletcher, and Project Manager Christiaan Marsters, who brings nearly 20 years of experience in the insurance repair and roofing industry. Among the team's featured projects is the preservation of the Old Government Building — New Zealand's largest wooden structure and a Category 1 Historic Building — involving exterior painting and high pressure and chemical washing to help maintain the heritage structure within its modern university setting.
Since 2016, Carus Group's Wellington team has been delivering commercial painting and maintenance services across the capital, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and the wider Wellington region — work shaped by the specific demands of the region's coastal weather and seismic requirements.
While Carus operates as a national company, its Wellington presence is built around local people. The regional team includes Lower North Regional Manager Blake James-Rowe, a former police officer; Business Development Manager Sydonie Fletcher, who brings a retail management background from previous roles at Noel Leeming and Techlam; and Project Manager Christiaan Marsters, who spent nearly 20 years in the insurance repair industry managing roofing operations before joining Carus. That mix of backgrounds feeds into how the team approaches client relationships and on-the-ground project management.
Carus Wellington's service list covers interior and exterior painting, roof spraying, high pressure and chemical washing, specialised coatings, moss and mould treatments, and ongoing painting maintenance programmes. Rather than treating each job as a one-off, the team positions painting maintenance as a long-term relationship — reviewing a building's condition and proposing a multi-year painting schedule so clients can budget with fewer surprises down the track.
The team's client base spans education, commercial, industrial, aged care, healthcare, body corporate, hospitality, government and public sector, and churches and community organisations. That range demands different approaches — working around students in a school is different from managing access in a hospital or aged care facility — and Carus emphasises staff who are trained and vetted for secure or live environments.
One of the team's standout projects has been work on the Old Government Building — New Zealand's largest wooden structure and a Category 1 Historic Building. Through careful preparation, precision painting, and coordinated exterior work including high pressure and chemical washing, the Carus team helped maintain the heritage structure while it continues to function as part of a modern university campus — a project that speaks to the balance the company aims to strike between historic preservation and practical, durable results.
Across both interior and exterior work, Carus frames disruption management as central to the job. That can mean working after hours, staging work across different building zones, or timing projects around peak usage, backed by tidy, well-signposted worksites with dust control and protective coverings. On the exterior side, the focus shifts toward durability against Wellington's weather and safe working practices at height, on scaffolding or elevated work platforms.
Carus Wellington operates from Unit 43, 16 Jamaica Drive in Grenada North, and encourages anyone with a commercial painting or maintenance need in the region to start with a simple conversation. Enquiries can be made by phone, email, or by reaching out to a regional team member directly.
