Painting & Decorating- 12 Mar 2026
Highly recommend this painter and decorator. The finish on the wallpaper, walls and woodwork was absolutely spot on. He recently completed work alongside us on a media wall project and the attention to detail really helped bring the whole room together. Clean, reliable and takes real pride in his work. Great communication from start to finish and left everything tidy afterwards. Would happily work with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a quality decorator.

Painting & Decorating- 24 Jun 2025
I have nothing but praise for Kevin and the awesome job he did in my Hall and Lounge. This was a big project with awkward walls and a huge amount of preparation. Kevin turned up daily between 8.30 and 9 am and finished just after 4pm. The quote process was simple and transparent. He said it would take 11 days and it took the 11 days. A tidy and neat worker who cleaned and tidied up each evening meaning that I could continue with my day to day living with relative comfort. His attention to detail is outstanding. He didn't cut corners and is brilliant at wallpapering. Polite, well mannered and 100% trustworthy. I gave him a set of house keys and just let him get on with the job in the knowledge he would do a high quality one. I genuinely am super happy with the overall result. You'll not get a better decorator elsewhere and you definitely get what you pay for. He wasn't the cheapest and he certainly wasn't the most expensive. I got great value for the money here.

Didn't turn up when we agreed a start date. Had to go home to Poland for personal reasons. I text the day before to get his start time and he text me back and said he wouldn't be back for at least 2 weeks. Should be a negative really as he didn't contact me before he left the country.

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.
