Interior Painting FAQs

Frequently asked questions about residential painting and decorating in Edinburgh.

A standard bedroom with walls, ceiling and woodwork typically runs £350–£650 for labour, depending on size, condition and how much preparation is needed. A full two-bedroom flat usually falls between £2,000 and £4,000. Rooms with high tenement ceilings or damaged plaster sit at the upper end.

A single room takes 1–2 days. A two-bedroom flat typically takes 5–8 working days including preparation. Properties needing significant filling, sanding or replastering take longer — we assess the surface condition at the home visit and give you a realistic timeline rather than an optimistic one.

This is where most of the work is and where most decorators cut corners. We fill, sand, caulk, and prime bare or repaired areas before any topcoat goes on. Poor preparation is why paintwork fails within a year, and it's the single biggest reason our finishes last.

We're a Johnstone's Trade partner and use trade-grade paint as standard, which covers better and wears longer than retail equivalents. If you want a specific brand — Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Dulux Heritage — we're happy to work with it and will tell you honestly how it will perform.

No. We move furniture to the centre of the room, cover it, protect floors and mask off anything that isn't being painted. Everything goes back where it was at the end. Our clients' most common comment is that they didn't need to clean up after us.

Not directly — painting over a stain or damp patch means it comes back through. We identify the source first, treat it properly with a stain block or repair the plaster, then paint. Cracked tenement ceilings usually need filling or overboarding, which we'll price separately and explain clearly.

Yes — exterior walls, render, windows and doors, along with front wall re-rendering. Exterior work in Edinburgh is weather-dependent and best scheduled between April and September. We use exterior-grade systems designed for Scottish conditions.
