What customers say
Based on genuine customer reviews
Sandilands Street in Glasgow is the base for this painting contractor, operating weekdays from nine until five and closed at weekends. Feedback is mixed: one commercial client was pleased with a contracted painting job, describing the team as polite and helpful throughout.
A separate, more recent account of a residential appointment in Burntisland told a different story, describing a worker as disengaged and reporting that the job was left unfinished following a disagreement over conduct at the property. No further detail is given on the scale or range of work typically undertaken beyond general painting and decorating.

Had an appointment with one of their workers today 19/5/26 at my address, Lothian Street, Burntisland, Ky30ba. The worker was very rude and half asleep looked like she couldn't be bothered to do her job. When I had shut her down about her behavior she minupalated it the other way around said I was abusive to her so she wouldn't do the job then she walked out. Avoid this company at all costs.
Contracted Decorous for commercial painting. Delighted with service provided. Highly recommend. Boys are all very polite and helpful.
