Walls and ceilings
Emulsion finishes for every room — matt, silk and durable scrubbable paints.

When is the best time of year for exterior painting?
Late spring to early autumn — surfaces need to be dry and above roughly 10°C for paint to cure properly. We'll schedule around the forecast and tell you honestly if your job should wait.
How long does exterior paint last?
With proper prep and quality masonry paint, expect 5–15 years depending on exposure. Poor prep is why cheap jobs peel in a year — it's the part we refuse to skip.
Do you paint the whole outside of a house?
Yes — render, brick, pebbledash, cladding, windowsills, fascias, soffits, gutters and doors. We'll quote each element clearly so you choose what's included.
Are you insured to work in Symbister?
Yes — every job in Symbister is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.

All of it — Symbister (ZE2) is fully inside our patch, along with Brae, Lerwick, Scalloway, Sandwick. If you're on the border of two areas, don't worry: the same local team covers both.
