What Melrose Homeowners Say About Our Painting & Decorating Specialists
Hallway and landing redecoration in Melrose Edwardian end-terrace. Soffits and bargeboards prepared and finished with proper exterior trim paint. Came in £600 under quote thanks to less prep than expected. Old paint disposed of properly via WEEE-compliant routes.
Compared three painters in Melrose through BestBuilders. Final pick was the only firm that brought a paint sample to the survey. Old artex ceiling sealed with stabilising primer before two-coat top finish. Final invoice £4285. Brush-and-roller marks invisible - properly skimmed finish before painting.
Six months on, the kitchen feature wall is still the room's standout. Painter we found via BestBuilders in Melrose pointed out that the original ceiling was textured and recommended skim-then-paint. Total £4844. Looks better than when the property was first viewed.
