Free quotes for internal painting and decorating in Glasgow: tenement flats with high ceilings and cornicing, villas and family homes.

Glasgow's tenement flats are some of the most rewarding – and challenging – interiors to decorate, with tall ceilings, deep cornicing and long hallways. Villas and suburban homes add more variety.

Describe the rooms you want painting and compare quotes from decorators across Glasgow.

Tenement ceilings and cornicing

Ceilings in tenement flats are often well over three metres, so decorators bring towers or platforms, and cornicing and ceiling roses need careful brushwork. Old distemper on ceilings can need removing before modern paint will stick.

Hallways in tenement flats are long and full of doors, and box rooms and kitchens add plenty of cutting in. Decorators often price tenement jobs room by room.

Before the decorator arrives

  • Decide which rooms and surfaces you want done, and whether ceilings and woodwork are included.
  • Choose colours, or ask the decorator to bring sample pots, before the start date.
  • Finish any electrical, plastering or joinery work first.
  • Clear small items and valuables; most decorators will move and cover larger furniture.

Interior painting in Glasgow: common questions

Why is paint peeling off my tenement ceiling?

It's often old distemper underneath, which modern paint doesn't bond to. Decorators may need to wash it off or seal it with a suitable primer.

Do Glasgow decorators bring their own towers?

Most do for tall tenement rooms. Mention ceiling heights when requesting quotes.
