Before painting the outside: Scotland
Scottish weather shortens the exterior painting season: higher rainfall in the west, cold winters and strong winds on the coast. Sandstone tenements and stone villas are rarely painted, but harled (roughcast) walls, sash windows, stairwells and common closes are regular jobs. Inside, high ceilings and ornate cornicing in older flats take extra time.
If your home is listed or sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, check with the council before changing the exterior colour. Otherwise, repainting is normally just a matter of picking the right weather. More on exterior painting.
Why painting quotes vary around Dunfermline
Beyond the size of the job, a few things specific to Dunfermline can push a decorating quote up or down:
- Ceiling height: older homes need towers.
- Weather: short exterior season.
- Settlement cracks: newer homes may need filling.
