Do you prepare surfaces before painting in Marchmont?

Yes — professional surface preparation is the most important part of any decorating job in Marchmont. Our decorators fill cracks, sand surfaces, prime bare plaster and mask edges before any paint is applied. For Marchmont's period properties, we assess lime plaster surfaces and use appropriate primers. This preparation is what delivers a smooth, durable finish that lasts 5–8 years.

Can you paint the exterior of my Marchmont property?

Yes — we provide exterior masonry painting for all property types in Marchmont. Edinburgh's climate demands breathable masonry paints that allow moisture to escape from stone walls. We use silicone masonry paints for premium durability in Edinburgh's wet conditions. For conservation area properties in Marchmont, we advise on approved colour palettes and manage any required consents.

How long does interior painting take in Marchmont?

A single room interior decoration (walls, ceiling and woodwork) typically takes 1–2 days in Marchmont. Full interior redecoration of a 3-bedroom home takes 5–8 days depending on specification and surface condition. We provide a detailed programme at survey stage so you can plan around the work.
