A small, family-feel painting and decorating outfit serving the Scottish Borders and the Lothians since 1986.
Will Gray Painters & Decorators, known to most folk as The Decorator, has been working out of Peebles for 40 years. Long enough to have decorated the same homes more than once, to know which products hold up to a Scottish winter, and to know the trades in the area worth working alongside.
The work started as it tends to, with residential jobs: homes, hallways, kitchens, full repaints. Word of mouth has kept the calendar full ever since. The business now covers a steady mix of residential and commercial work across the Lothians and Borders.
The promise is straightforward: turn up when we said we would, leave the place tidier than we found it, charge a fair price, and finish to a standard you'd be happy showing off.
