Before and After: Real Painting Projects from Around Edinburgh

Photos and reviews tell you more about a decorator than any sales pitch. Here are some recent jobs, in our customers' own words wherever we can.

Project 1: Two linked shopfronts on Leith Walk

The brief: A business on Leith Walk asked us to repaint two buildings, with colour schemes that tied them together as one brand.

What we did: Both frontages needed a lot of preparation before painting. We repaired and filled damaged areas, then primed and painted both shopfronts.

The result:

"We asked him to work on 2 buildings so the colour schemes link us together… He did a great job, fixing up parts of the building that needed lots of prep, then painting both frontages." (Sett Studios, Leith Walk)
