Preparation first

In older Edinburgh homes, walls are rarely perfect. Old wallpaper, cracked plaster and years of layers of paint all need dealing with before a new finish goes on. We strip, fill, sand and prime so the paint looks even and lasts.

We protect floors and furniture and leave rooms tidy at the end of each day.

Wallpapering

We hang wallpaper on single feature walls and whole rooms, and we take off old paper before redecorating. Removing old wallpaper sometimes shows damaged plaster underneath, so we check the walls and agree any repairs with you before going further.

Outside the house

We also paint exterior walls, windows, front and back doors, fences, gates and garden buildings, keeping paint off paving and planting.
