Painting & decorating and Glasgow homes
Glasgow is a city of red and blond sandstone tenements, from the West End and Southside to Dennistoun, alongside interwar cottage flats, post-war council schemes on the edges of the city and a fair number of high-rise flats.
- 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.
- Common closes in flats are usually painted by arrangement among all owners, while inside your flat is up to you.
- Get access arranged (lifts, parking) before booking a decorator in a tower block.
- Exterior colours on listed buildings or in conservation areas may be restricted, so check with Glasgow City Council.
Areas covered include West End, Southside, Merchant City, Dennistoun, Shawlands, Partick, Govan, Springburn, Easterhouse, Knightswood, Pollokshields, Cathcart. Local authority: Glasgow 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.
Questions
Does it cost me anything?
No. It's free for homeowners and tenants. Some tradespeople pay us a small fee for an introduction.
How many people will contact me?
One. We share your request with one local tradesperson only. If they can't help, we'll ask you before passing it to anyone else.
