Pricing a decorating job in Paisley: the local factors
Two quotes for the same room or house in Paisley can differ more than you might expect. It often comes down to things like these:
- Ceiling height: tenement rooms need towers.
- Upper floors: stairs slow the work.
- Shared areas: agreement between owners needed.

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.
