We have replaced a door and repaired a driveway for commercial clients in Bellbrae, and can maintain the school, hall, aged-care home, over-55s community and winery. There’s no shopping strip; the commercial buildings are community, care and tourism.
Bellbrae’s commercial buildings cluster on School Road and Grossmans Road, with a winery and a group camp out on the rural roads.
Both of our 2 Bellbrae jobs were commercial: replacing a door with a 920 slab door, new hinges and a hood and adjusting a second door, and filling a hole in an exposed-aggregate driveway with steel plugs and reinforcement before concreting it and treating the surface to expose the aggregate. Out of town, it pays to fix the job properly the first time.
Bellbrae Primary School has had a $9.1 million competition-grade gym and new STEM and learning spaces, plus a sewer and town water connection. The public hall, the CFA station and the Uniting Church sit along School Road, with Mary Bell Oval and the reserve nearby. Community buildings like these need doors, decks and repairs between terms and events.
Ocean Mist Aged Care and the Kithbrooke Park over-55s community, of about 200 homes, are both on Grossmans Road. Bellbrae Estate winery, with a bistro and deli, is on the Great Ocean Road, and Coastal Forest Lodge runs group camps on Gundrys Road. Half of Bellbrae is under the Bushfire Management Overlay, so anything new is checked first.

Prompt, great communication and a terrific job. Have used JF Maintenance for lots of work over the years and would recommend.
Beyond our expectations, and it was great to work with people who could turn our ideas into something better than we imagined. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Michael worked with our budget and we were so impressed by their diligence and workmanship. They did not cut corners but went the extra mile. So impressed we engaged them again at another property.
Bellbrae’s school opened in 1861, under the name Jan Juc. Today it sits on School Road with the hall and church.
A school, aged care, an over-55s community and a winery on the Great Ocean Road are why the commercial work here is community, care and tourism maintenance.
