Painter & Decorators, Painting Contractor, Interior and Exterior Decorator, Exterior PaintingBusiness 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the materials I use are now all water based, which provides a solvent free, environmentally friendly alternative to the outdated solvent based products.

External redecoration of windows
Alistair was true to his word and very reliable about what the job involved, a great comfort as a customer. He explained the different properties of the paints he used and worked dilligently throughout as the work was weather dependent. He reassured me as to the fabric of the existing windows and was extremely conscientious in all he did, even offering to return and help open windows at a later date should they be stuck.
