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the materials I use are now all water based, which provides a solvent free, environmentally friendly alternative to the outdated solvent based products.

Making good holes around ceiling lights, painting another rain water stain on a ceiling. Plus several other small painting jobs needing done.
All to a high standard. An excellent job done.

I have used Alistair for a long time and have always found his work to be excellent. He is always very considerate and helpful in the way he tackles any job - this attitude is very good as I am now an 'older' customer and I do appreciate it.

I can't recommend Alistair enough. I left him with my keys while I was in another country. My house was immaculate on my return. The standard of work is exceptional. My house is very old and the area he was working on was in very poor condition. It looks brand new now. He is a lovely man who went above and beyond for us.

Alistair is a first class tradesman and an amiable and pleasant person. Totally trustworthy, we have given him keys of the house so that he could do some work while we were away from home.

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.

Alistair is so reliable, and so helpful. His work is immaculate. Very professional. The finish is flawless. He takes no time at all to do a good job. He gives you all the time you need to complete a job. He has allocated 6 weeks to paint and decorate where needed my full flat which has 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas, 4 bathrooms, kitchen, balcony railings and on two floors with staircase.

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.
