    Finding a painter and decorator in Edinburgh is easy if you know how and where to look.

    MyJobQuote has made it simple.

    You can use our quote form to search for a painter and decorator in your area and get three free quotes from up to three tradespeople.

    Go through our range of painter and decorator profiles and check out their reviews.

    How much does a painter and decorator cost in Edinburgh?

    The cost of a painter and decorator in Edinburgh can vary due to a few factors, including:

    • Type of job
    • Size of job
    • Quality of materials

    A rough estimate of the daily rate for a painter and decorator is between £150 to £250. But read through our handy cost guides if you want a more detailed breakdown for a specific decorating or painting job.

    Cost to paint exterior of a house

    If you need the outside of your house painted, you’ll need to budget around £500 to £1500, depending on what paint you choose and the size of your house.

    For an average-sized, three-storey semi-detached, you can expect to pay £850-£1000 – but this is a rough estimate.

    If you want more details, take a look at our house exterior painting price guide, which covers all housing and paint options – so you’ll get a better idea of the overall cost specifically for your home.

    How much does it cost to paint a house in the UK?

    Hiring a painter and decorator to paint a house in the UK will cost between £400-£1500. But there are a few things you need to take into consideration.

    The size, type and style of your house will play a massive part in how much it’ll cost to paint it. So, if you have a large detached, five-bedroom property – expect to pay more than the average cost.

    The type of paint you wish to use also needs to be considered – a higher quality paint will cost a lot more.

    The state of the original walls can affect the overall cost too, as if your walls need repairing, this will take more time and materials.

    How much does a painter charge per room in the UK?

    If you’d like an interior room of your house painted, it’ll cost £300 to £990 on average in the UK. Again, this will depend on the following:

    • Type of paint you choose
    • How many coats are needed
    • Size of the room

    Labour costs on their own can be between £250 to £800, which is worth considering when looking at quotes for painters and decorators.

    Need more details? Then check out our room painting price guide, where you’ll find a breakdown of different-sized rooms and how much they cost to paint.

    How to hire a decorator in Edinburgh

    Would you like to hire a decorator but are unsure of where to start?

    Here is MyJobQuote’s advice for hiring a good decorator in Edinburgh:

    First, use our search tool. All you have to do is fill out a quick and easy form here or look through the decorator profiles on this page and invite them to give you a free quote. From their profiles, you can look at their recent job gallery, learn what skills they have, what type of decorating jobs they can complete, and view any reviews from previous customers. If there are no reviews or recent pictures of their work, ask for customer references instead.

    When you’ve found a few decorators, and you’re deciding which one to hire, check their qualifications and if they’re relevant to decorating. Also, enquire if they’re part of a trade association like the PDA (Painting and Decorating Association).

    What to ask a painter and decorator

    Asking questions can assist you in finding the right painter and decorator. We’ve created a list of some helpful questions to find out everything you need to know:

    1. What insurance do you have, and can you provide recent certification?
    2. How long have you been a painter and decorator?
    3. Have you completed any jobs similar to this previously?
    4. What qualifications do you have?
    5. What accreditations do you have?
    6. How long will the job take?
    7. When are you able to start work?
    8. How much will it cost, and are there additional costs?
    9. Can I look at previous examples of any work you’ve completed?
    10. Have you got any customer references?

    With these questions, you’ll be able to make an informed decision on whether you wish to hire them.

    What does a painter and decorator do?

    Painters and decorators can complete various jobs and even assist with many other projects. The most common jobs for painters and decorators are:

    • Applying and removing wallpapering
    • Mixing paint colours
    • Advising what’s the best paint/finish to use in different situations
    • Applying finishes such as varnishes, stains and paints to walls, ceilings, floors, skirting boards, staircases etc.
    • Fitting coving
    • Repairing damaged walls before painting – filling in holes, cracks etc.
    • Murals
    • Motifs, moulding and architraves
    • Restoration

    So, if your property’s interior needs a fresh new look, hiring a professional painter and decorator is what you want to do. They’ll update your home with a professional finish you won’t achieve through DIY.
