Nine things we do, from making a damaged wall sound again to spraying a kitchen. Most jobs use several of them together.
We are a family-run firm and our decorators have several decades of experience between them, on homes and on commercial premises. At the quote stage we tell you which of these your job actually needs.
Cracked plaster, blown patches, damaged cornice and old paper all have to be dealt with before decorating starts. We repair cracks, patch and plaster, skim coat where a wall is past lining, prime what needs priming, and only then start on the finish.
Walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors and metalwork, on plaster, board, wood and metal, inside and out. Cut in by hand where a brush is the right tool and sprayed where it is not.
Stripping old paper, making good what is underneath, then lining paper, wallpaper or wide vinyl hung to pattern. Commercial wide vinyl is a different discipline from domestic paper, and we do both.
Dropping or raising ceilings, installing new cornice, repairing damaged runs, and painting or spraying the result. Edinburgh ceilings are high and the detail is deep, which is exactly where spraying earns its keep.
All aspects of window, sash and case and shutter decorating, including the parts of a frame that are only reachable with the sash raised.
Carcasses, shelves and cabinet fronts, hand painted or sprayed. Spraying gives the flat, even finish people expect from a factory door. Hand painting suits older kitchens with mouldings and imperfect faces.
Fast, even coverage on cornices, radiators, fireplaces and kitchens. The masking and protection take longer than the spraying, which is rather the point of doing it properly.
Fire protection coating applied to the film thickness your certification requires, working with you and your certifier to get there.
Quick, affordable preparation of plasterboard seams so a new wall is ready to decorate without a full skim.
Period rooms, tenement flats, kitchens, stairwells and communal areas. High ceilings and deep cornice reward preparation and punish shortcuts.
Stone, render, timber and metal, in a climate that tests all four. Outside work is decided by preparation and by picking the right weather to do it in.
Most people are not, and that is fine. Tell us the rooms or the building, we will come and look, and you will get a written price with no charge for the visit.
