Business Information
I have been self employed now for over 35 years and strive to provide a professional, friendly, bespoke decorating service to customers old and new.
The family buisness was established in 1935 by grandfather George and my father Findlay then joined, so I am now the third generation painter and decorator to continue the buisness.
I can carry out all aspects of your decorating needs and I am happy to provide you with any advice and help with your decorating requirements.
I have invested in the latest technology to provide a dust free environment which eradicates mess to your premises but more importantly protects your health.
95% of the materials I use are now all water based, which provides a solvent free, environmentally friendly alternative to the outdated solvent based products.

We asked Alistair to paint and paper our living room, (has a high ceilng in an old house). He provided a professional service from first contact to completion of the job. Alistair is a skilled tradesman who has very high standards. We are delighted with the result, and would certainly use him again.

Kitchen, stairwell and upstairs landing stripped and re-papered. Two ceiling areas painted twice with any cracks having been taped and sanded. All newly papered walls given two coats of paint. All woodwork prepared and given two coats of paint. Handrails on stair sanded and stained.
All work was carried out in a thoroughly professional manner. Alistair started work early every morning and worked for the whole day. We are very happy with everything and would be happy to recommend to others.
