What sets decorating prices in Elgin.
The Elgin homes we quote most range from tidy rentals that just need a refresh to characterful houses across Scotland where the walls have stories to tell. That spread is exactly why a photo-based quote beats a price list — it prices your rooms, not an average.
Paint and spec
Trade matt on walls is the baseline; scrubbable, moisture-resistant or heritage paints, deep colour changes and extra coats sit above it. We spec what the room needs and say why.
Access and protection
The logistics count: a lived-in home with furniture to shift and floors to sheet takes longer than an empty property, and stairwells or high ceilings mean proper access gear.
Surface condition
Sound walls need little more than a wash and fill; walls with blown plaster, peeling paint or stubborn paper need real prep first — and that prep is what separates an honest quote from a cheap one.
Size and surfaces
Wall and ceiling area, plus how much woodwork — skirting, doors, frames, windows — is in the spec. Woodwork is slower than walls, so it moves the price more than room count alone.
