Decorating and property work, done properly.

Interior and exterior painting, wallpaper, woodwork and the smaller jobs that get a place ready to live in, let or sell. One local firm. One number.

What we take on

Decorating first. Property solutions where the painted work needs making good around it. Pick a job to drop it into the guide price.

  • Interior painting

    Walls, ceilings and the fiddly bits around sockets, stairs and alcoves. Emulsion, eggshell and proper colour changes.

    In the guide
  • Exterior painting

    Masonry, render, soffits, fascias, railings and front doors. Prep that stands up to Scottish weather, not one coat over dirt.

    Price this
  • Wallpaper

    Hanging, stripping and lining. A single feature wall or a full room, including the corners that fight you in a tenement.

    Price this
  • Woodwork and trim

    Doors, skirting, windows and stairs. Sanded, filled and finished so the paint lasts past the first winter.

    Price this
  • Property solutions

    Make-good between lets or before a sale. Stain blocking, scuffs, small repairs to the decorated surfaces, and a tidy handover.

    Price this
  • Shops, offices and lets

    Commercial rooms and rental turnovers, timed around when the place needs to be back in use.

The kind of finish

Clean lines, protected floors, and paint that looks decided — not dabbed on. These are the sorts of rooms and frontages we take on.

Questions

Where do you work?

Edinburgh, the Lothians and the Borders — the same patch named on the card. If you are on the edge of that, call and ask.

How does a price get agreed?

The guide on this page is for budgeting only. Tell us the job, send photos or book a look, and you get a clear price before any work starts.

Do you hang wallpaper?

Yes. Stripping, lining and hanging, including feature walls and the awkward corners in tenement flats.

What does property solutions cover?

The smaller jobs around a let, a sale or a tired room: making good, stain blocking, scuffed woodwork, and a tidy handover. Not structural building work.

Can you work around tenants or a shop being open?

Often, yes. Say when the place has to be back in use and we will plan the job around that.
