What St Andrews Homeowners Say About Our Painting & Decorating Specialists
Lining-paper-and-paint scheme on the original lath-and-plaster of our St Andrews Edwardian end-terrace. Internal doors removed, sanded back, primed and finished off-site for a flawless finish. Came in £240 under quote thanks to less prep than expected. Cornice picked out in matching satinwood for proper definition.
Compared two PDA painters in St Andrews through BestBuilders. Chose the firm whose foreman did the survey, not the salesman. Old artex ceiling sealed with stabilising primer before two-coat top finish. Final invoice £2080. Eco-friendly low-VOC paint used throughout - safe for kids the same evening.
Eight months in and the new chalky-matt finish still cleans beautifully. Painter we found via BestBuilders in St Andrews pointed out that the original ceiling was textured and recommended skim-then-paint. Total £2492. Best value-for-money home improvement we have done in years.
