What sets decorating prices in Sandwick.
Decorating in Sandwick isn't priced by postcode — it's priced by the job. A two-bed flat near Scalloway, Lerwick, Symbister, Brae and a period terrace a few streets away can differ enormously once prep, woodwork and access come into it, so we quote each on its own merits.
Size and surfaces
It's not just how many rooms, but how much surface: a room full of doors, frames and detailed skirting takes far longer than four plain walls of the same size.
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.
Surface condition
What's under the brush decides most of the price. Nicotine stains, damp patches or badly stripped paper all mean extra sealing and filling before a single topcoat goes on.
Access and protection
Working around your life adds time — masking, sheeting, moving and covering furniture, and keeping rooms usable each evening — and so does anything that needs towers or ladders to reach safely.
