Our Services
From interior painting to specialist wallcoverings and decorative coving, professional finishes for homes and businesses across South West Scotland.
Interior Painting & Decorating
From a single freshened-up room to a full house repaint, every interior job starts with proper prep: surfaces cleaned, filled, sanded and primed before a brush goes near the wall. Ricky agrees products and the number of coats in advance, cuts in by hand around coving, skirting and window reveals, and leaves the site tidy at the end of each day. A lasting finish depends on the groundwork, and that is where every interior project begins.

Exterior Painting
Exterior painting protects your property from the Scottish elements while giving it a fresh, attractive appearance. Every job starts with a careful inspection of render, masonry, timber, fascias and existing coatings to determine the right preparation and products. Work is timed around the forecast so coats dry properly and the finish lasts rather than blistering the following winter. Residential homes and commercial premises are both covered to the same professional standard.

External Masonry & Wall Coatings
Give traditional stone, brick and rendered walls a durable, protective finish with specialist external masonry coatings. Ideal for older and period properties across South West Scotland, masonry paint helps seal and weatherproof exterior walls while refreshing their appearance. Ricky cleans down each surface, treats problem areas and repairs defects before applying breathable, long-lasting coatings that stand up to the local climate. Downpipes, gutters and boundary walls can all be treated as part of the job.

Fabric Wallpapers
Fabric wallpapers bring warmth, texture and a touch of luxury to any room, with finishes ranging from natural grasscloth and linen to silk-effect and suede-look coverings. These premium wallcoverings are less forgiving than standard papers, so they demand an experienced hand. Ricky assesses and prepares the wall surface, selects the correct adhesive for the specific material, and hangs each length with precise pattern and seam alignment to protect the delicate finish and deliver a smooth, professional result.

Make a statement with printable wallpapers and feature wallcoverings. From bold patterns to custom prints, Ricky installs specialist wallpapers with perfect pattern matching and seamless joins. A feature wall can completely transform a room, so careful measuring, cutting and hanging are essential to a professional result. Provide your chosen wallpaper details and wall measurements when requesting a quote so the scope can be confirmed up front.

Add character, elegance and period detail with decorative coving and cornice. Whether you want to install new coving, repair existing plasterwork or paint existing cornice as part of a room redecoration, Ricky handles the work to a high standard. Joins, mitres and corners are crafted with care, and the finished coving is painted to blend seamlessly with the wall and ceiling. Decorative coving suits period properties, living rooms and reception areas where a refined finish is desired.

Floor and Wall Tiling
Floor and wall tiling demands precision from substrate preparation right through to the final grout finish. Whether it is a bathroom, kitchen, wet room or hallway, every tiling job begins with a properly prepared base. Ricky levels surfaces, treats substrate issues, installs tanking or waterproofing where needed for wet areas, and manages cuts and corners so tiles sit level and true. Tile choice, grout colour and sealant finish are all discussed to match the space and how it will wear. The work is finished neatly, with silicone seals in the right places and a grout that handles daily moisture and use.

Plastering and Skimming
Plastering is the foundation of every interior finish. Whether it is skimming over existing plaster, re-plastering blown areas, skimming plasterboard to a flawless finish, or patching cracks and damage before decorating, the quality of the plaster underneath determines how good the final paint or wallpaper looks. Ricky prepares every plaster job carefully, choosing the right undercoat for the surface and finishing to a smooth, flat, paint-ready standard. From bonding and browning undercoats to ceiling repairs and making good before decoration, every plaster job is done to last.

External Rendering
External rendering protects and finishes masonry and blockwork walls, from traditional sand and cement renders to modern through-coloured silicone and acrylic thin-coat systems. Ricky inspects every wall before work starts, identifying any blown or hollow render that needs removing, assesses the substrate, and selects the right system for the property and local climate. Base coats and topcoats are applied to spec with proper curing windows respected. Repairs and patching of existing render, breathability on older solid-wall properties, and render on new extensions are all handled as part of the service.

Roughcasting and Harling
Roughcast and harling bring a time-tested textured finish to external walls across South West Scotland. The work starts with a thorough assessment of the existing surface, repair of any failed sections, and preparation of the wall ready to receive the new finish. Ricky throws the aggregate and cement slurry mix onto the wall by hand, building up the traditional wet-dash texture that has protected Scottish stone and solid-wall properties for generations. Colour options range through pigmented mixes or painted finishes applied after the roughcast cures.
