Borthwick Decorators Ltd has been professional painting contractors since 1959, which makes them industry experts in our book. In terms of availability, they are open 24/7, which is great for those with busy or irregular schedules.

We’re quite impressed that they have a total of nine accreditations. For example, they are Painting and Decorating Association-accredited, which indicates that they strictly follow the organisation’s nationally recognised code of practice.

Not only do they have important accreditations, they also have prestigious clients. They are the National Trust for Scotland’s painters of choice, as well as the Historic Environment Scotland’s go-to for painting and decorating services.

Unlike other paint services, they offer free quotes. This is great if you want to prepare yourself for how much the project would cost first.

They are well-known for their residential/commercial painting and decorating services. They have experience in painting and decorating not just residential homes but also cafes, restaurants, hotels, pubs, shops, department stores, and offices.

Sadly, we heard some reports from their former clients about their quality issues. Some even had to hire someone else to fix their subpar work.

Also, they are always busy, so it might be hard to secure a booking immediately.

Having around 30 years of combined industry experience has made Bert’s Painting & Decorating one of the experts in the painting and decorating field.

They pride themselves in being mess-free painters. For those who are neat freaks such as ourselves, they’d be a great option since they make sure the space is cleaned after each work day.

They also offer a free quote for those who are curious as to how much painting their property would cost.

What sets them apart from other companies is that they use only Johnstones Trade Paint. They claim that this high-quality brand provides a better coverage than other brands such as Dulux, Crown, Farrow and Ball, or Macphersons.

Unlike other painting companies, they also offer a colour matching/advice service. For those who are unsure about which colours to choose, they’d be happy to provide advice about possible combinations and finishings.

We appreciate their wide range of surface preparation services. These include not just sanding down or priming but also filler application or plaster skimming, dust sheets supply, undercoat application, and surface repair.

Unfortunately, for those planning to do home renovations during weekends, you might need to go elsewhere since they are closed.

Also, some customers have complained that they have cancelled their long-standing bookings abruptly without clear explanations. You might need to confirm and re-confirm your booking in order to avoid this inconvenience.

Dean Mccathie Painters And Decorators Ltd. is another well-trusted Edinburgh-based painting service. If you want to view their work face to face, you can simply visit their well-lit showroom.

Their several affiliations and accreditations made us feel like they are trustworthy and capable. For instance, they are registered Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) Waste Carriers, meaning they can collect and transport waste.

They are also members of the Painting Decorating Association (PDA). This means they adhere to their strict criteria and are now allowed to display the PDA’s quality marque, boosting our confidence in the calibre of their work.

Additionally, they offer free colour advice. If you’re stuck, they’d be happy to suggest possible colour schemes that would suit your style.

A one-of-a-kind service they have is their hand painted kitchen service. If you are happy with your kitchen’s current layout but want a new look, they’d be able to apply a custom, hand-painted finish in any colour you wish.

Aside from hand painting kitchens, they also offer furniture hand painting and floor painting services, which not all painting companies do. If you want to spruce up old furniture or floors, they’d be the best option.

Sadly, they are closed on Sundays. Those who want to have work done on this day would need to book someone else.

We also heard reports of their workers arriving late. Some even arrived almost two hours after their scheduled time, which is a bit worrying.

Painting the Capital has over 26 years of industry experience, making them industry experts in our eyes. One can also hire them any day of the week, which adds to the customers’ convenience.

One thing that makes them unique is that they can start very early at 6 AM. This is great for the early birds who would want to start their renovation projects early in the day.

While they also offer an exterior painting service, what sets them apart is that the additional inclusions. These include treating and killing mildew, removing and replacing loose caulking, and even resetting and repainting nails.

For those wanting to have a kitchen ‘face-lift’ without doing an overhaul, they also offer a kitchen cabinet respray and refurbishment service. They use the latest paint spraying technology that can even repair cracked vinyl kitchen cabinets.

What’s great is they promise a turnaround of one week for their kitchen service. This is great for those who do not want to have their lives upturned for a long time.

We also think it’s considerate of them to leave touch-up paint to be left for the client’s future convenience. They even promise to put them in labelled containers.

Sadly, they have a limited range of value added services. Those who are also looking for some light carpentry and joinery work would need to hire another company.

Also, they are quite popular, so do book them well in advance.
