Livingston painting and decorating FAQs
Do Livingston painters cover Bathgate and Linlithgow?
Most do. Add your postcode to find painters who cover your area.
How long does a modern three-bed take to repaint inside?
Often around a week, depending on the number of rooms and preparation.
Exterior painting in Scotland: what to plan for
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.
Most homeowners can repaint the outside of their house without asking anyone. The exceptions are listed buildings and some conservation areas, where a change of colour or finish may need the council's approval. More on exterior painting.
