Exterior Painting & Decorating
Exterior painting and decorating for Edinburgh's tenements and villas — render, harling and sandstone finished to a high standard, prepared to suit the surface and its exposure.
How We Approach Exterior Painting
Edinburgh's exteriors — render, harling, sandstone and traditional woodwork — need thorough preparation, and the right conditions to paint in. Most exterior paints need a minimum temperature to cure properly, so we work around the forecast rather than painting regardless of the weather. We wash down, repair and prime beforehand, using systems suited to the surface and its exposure.

Exterior Painting: Common Questions
What time of year is best for exterior painting in Edinburgh?
Spring through early autumn usually gives the most reliable conditions, though we monitor the forecast closely and plan around it — most exterior paints need a minimum temperature to cure properly, so timing depends on conditions as much as the calendar.
Do you work on tenement common stairs and shared exteriors?
Yes, we regularly coordinate with factors and other owners on shared tenement exteriors and common stair painting across Edinburgh.
How long will my exterior paint job last?
It depends on the surface, aspect, exposure and condition of what's underneath, so we won't quote a blanket figure — we'll advise on realistic expectations for your specific property once we've seen the job.
