Painting & decorating and Dundee homes
Dundee has sandstone tenements in the West End, Stobswell and the Hilltown, Victorian villas in Broughty Ferry and along the Perth Road, post-war council estates such as Fintry and Whitfield, and housing exposed to the wind off the Tay.
- Tall ceilings and cornicing in tenement flats take longer to paint, so expect quotes to reflect ceiling height.
- Stonework and older plaster can need breathable paints. Ask your decorator what they'd recommend on solid walls.
- High ceilings and period woodwork take more preparation, so ask for a room-by-room quote.
- Common closes in flats are usually painted by arrangement among all owners, while inside your flat is up to you.
- Exterior paint on exposed coastal homes weathers faster, so ask about masonry paints made for exposed sites.
Areas covered include West End, City Centre, Broughty Ferry, Lochee, Stobswell, Hilltown, Menzieshill, Whitfield, Fintry, Douglas, Barnhill, Ardler. Local authority: Dundee City Council.

How it works
- Tell us the job. Give a short description, your postcode and roughly when.
- We pass it to one local tradesperson who covers your area and does that kind of work. We pick one, not five, so your phone won't ring all day.
- They contact you to arrange a visit or a quote. You decide whether to go ahead.
To be upfront about what we are: we're an independent quote-request service, not a trade company. We don't vet, insure or guarantee anyone's work, so always get a written quote and check the registrations that apply to your job.
