What we do

Painting and decorating for homes and businesses, inside and out. Get in touch for a no obligation quote, whatever the size of the job.

  • Interior painting and decorating

    A first class service in all aspects of internal decorating, whatever the size of the job: a single bedroom, a flat, or a large part of the house.

  • Exterior painting

    Outside work as well as in, including house exteriors.

  • Wallpapering

    Paper hanging is one of our specialisms, from patterned papers and tartans to a matching plain paper for the walls around them.

  • Ames taping

    Our other specialism: taping and finishing plasterboard joints with Ames tools, so new walls and ceilings are ready to decorate.

  • Staircases

    Staircases redecorated, right up to a full refurbishment of a Victorian staircase.

  • Commercial redecoration

    For businesses where every job has a tight timescale to meet: bedrooms, drawing rooms and dining rooms redecorated and handed back on time, every time.

Alex and his team made a brilliant job of a large part of our house. They were quick, tidy and efficient. After changing my original plan, Alex was happy to come and revisit and go over how to get the best finish on each room. I had updates each evening on the progression of the work, and they left the house each night tidy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others, and will certainly be using them again in the future.

Alex and his team provide a very professional and friendly service. They have carried out work for us in our new home and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Great communication throughout and nothing was an issue. They done a great job of tidying up at the end of the day and also returned to touch up a couple of things - again this was not an issue to them. We will be using them in the future with further work we would like carried out. 100% recommend ☺️

Margaret BeattieGoogle review
We have now used Robertson and McRae Decorating eight times and I can honestly say that they have done an exceptional job on every occasion. Our business is such that each job usually has a very tight timescale to meet and Alex, Colin and their team never fail to deliver on time every time. From the redecoration of bedrooms, drawing room and dining room to a full refurbishment of a Victorian staircase, the quality of workmanship is second to none. We will again be using their services early in the New Year and would have no hesitation in recommending Robertson and McRae Decorating to anyone. Thank you guys!
