Painting & Decorating- 21 Aug 2021
Stephen is unreliable. His work seemed like it would have been to a high standard but he left my job suddenly after 1 day. After 2 weeks of calling and leaving messages I gave up trying to contact him. It left me in a very difficult situation.

Plumbing- 12 Oct 2025
Great communication & transparency with Sam. Very quick to respond and attend the job. However I would have wanted to finish the job at once rather than having to call him back the same day as the job wasn’t fully completed. To be fair to him, he immediately re-attended and fixed it but this could have been avoided in the first place.

Bathroom Fitting- 24 Jun 2017
We hired At Project to completely rip out and re do the bathroom, no small job! Slawomir were wonderful, turned up every morning when he said he would, always smiling and ready to work. When he left the place was all tied up and he made sure that he was careful of the house decor around. The finished job was done on time, in budget and the attention to detail was spot on. We are quite fussy and he happily put up with our endless questions! Would not hesitate to recommend and in fact have hired him for more work already.

Handyman- 19 Feb 2018
I first contacted a few other handymen for this job. One didn't show up at the first appointment. Another didn't show up on the day we agreed to do the work. Both of them never called or texted me to let me know that they were not coming. We wasted all morning waiting, very frustrating! I then contacted Rafal. Rafal came quick, arrived on time, did an excellent work as I asked for. He is a very hard working man. We're very happy with his service, would highly recommend him to anyone who requires handyman work!

Mike and the guys were fantastic. They worked really hard and did an excellent job in our tenement flat for a reasonable price. They were very professional, punctual and approachable. They left the room clean and tidy every day and kept the door shut so no mess spread in the flat - a small thing but very much appreciated! Would highly recommend.

As you see i asked for paint walls, ceiling and all skirting boards well thats not the case but they did a very good job besides not skirting boards.His father work was excellent and the site was good but some so called people on this site dont know what they are doing so watch who you pick on this site and also make sure that all work is put down on paper and the price is agreed by both of us so that the price is not changed later in the work.As OAPs dont get taken for a ride.

Questions to ask a Edinburgh painter and decorator

Choosing a Edinburgh painter and decorator isn’t just about finding someone who can apply a coat of paint. It’s about working with someone who genuinely cares about how your home looks and feels. Here are some questions to help you make the right choice:

What types of projects have you completed in Edinburgh?

From period terraces and cottage interiors to modern flats, each property in Edinburgh has its own character. Ask your painter or decorator about their experience with homes similar to yours, and what finishes or materials they recommend for your walls or woodwork.

Can you share photos or examples of your recent work?

Before-and-after images give you a sense of their style, attention to detail, and how they approach surfaces or colours. Many painters and decorators feature their work on MyBuilder, so it’s easy to browse through and see what inspires you.

Do you have references from past clients in Edinburgh?

Hearing how others describe their workmanship, communication, and reliability can make your decision easier. You can also check reviews on MyBuilder to see how previous customers felt about their results.

How do you prepare surfaces and deal with cracks or damp patches?

Proper prep makes all the difference. A good decorator will explain how they handle imperfections before painting to ensure your new finish lasts.

Are you familiar with local rules for decorating listed or conservation buildings in Edinburgh?

Decorating listed buildings in Edinburgh sometimes needs formal consent to protect architectural significance. Knowing how to navigate these regulations and whether specific materials or colours are required can make a big difference in avoiding fines or costly rework.

FAQ: Common questions about Edinburgh painting and decorating services

How long does a typical painting and decorating project take in Edinburgh?

Project length varies with the size and nature of the work. A single room might take a few days, while larger jobs like whole-house decorating or detailed woodwork can take several weeks. Factors like surface preparation, drying times, and weather conditions for exterior work also affect the schedule.

What kind of paint or finishes are suitable for Edinburgh homes?

In Edinburgh, common choices include matte and eggshell finishes for interiors due to their elegant look and ease of touch-ups. For exterior surfaces, weather-resistant paints that cope with the local climate, such as moisture and temperature changes, are essential for lasting protection.

How do decorators prepare surfaces in older or period homes in Edinburgh?

Surface preparation in Edinburgh may involve cleaning, filling cracks, sanding, and sometimes treating issues like dampness. Proper prep is key to paint adhesion and finish durability, especially in homes with plaster, lath walls, or older wood.

Will painters and decorators in Edinburgh help with colour selection or test samples?

Many decorators offer guidance on colour choices based on lighting and room use and can provide sample swatches or test patches to help you visualise the final look before commitment.
