What sets decorating prices in Melrose.
Access matters more in Melrose than people think: parking, permits and how far materials travel from van to wall all affect time on site. Working across Scotland and Tweedbank, Newtown St Boswells, Galashiels, Earlston daily means we know the practicalities of your street and build them into the quote rather than springing them on you later.
Paint and spec
The finish you choose shifts the number: a straightforward emulsion refresh costs less than a bold colour change (which needs more coats) or a specialist wipeable paint for a busy kitchen or bathroom.
Access and protection
Tall stairwells, occupied rooms, furniture to move, floors to protect, parking and permits — the practical side of the job that careful decorators plan and cowboys ignore.
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.
