Welcome to Borthwick Decorators Cupar
Borthwick Decorators has painted Cupar homes and businesses since 1959 — Georgian and Victorian townhouses, market-town terraces, and rural villas across the Howe of Fife. CHAS and SDF accredited, rated 4.9/5 from 175+ verified reviews.
Market-town stone and country villas.
Cupar is one of Scotland’s oldest royal burghs, and its centre shows it — Georgian and Victorian townhouses along the Bonnygate and Crossgate, tight market-town terraces, and a wide rural hinterland of farmhouses, country villas and estate property through the Howe of Fife. The work ranges from a listed front on the high street to a farmhouse exterior miles out of town.
We cover interior and exterior decoration, sash window work, period finishes and commercial premises. Same foreman across the job, daily clean-up, and a fixed price agreed before we start.

ABOUT CUPAR
Fife's county town.
Cupar has been Fife’s county town for centuries, and it carries the property to match — a compact Georgian and Victorian centre, market-town terraces, and a rural spread of farmhouses and country villas across the Howe of Fife. It is a town where a decorator needs to be as comfortable on a listed high-street front as on an exposed farmhouse gable.
We have worked across Cupar and its hinterland since 1959. CHAS and SDF accredited, residential and commercial, with the period specialism the older stock calls for and the same foreman from quote to final inspection.
FIFE CLIENT FEEDBACK
A small sample from our Fife portfolio.
The team were prompt and well organised by Stuart. In spite of typical Scottish weather they did an excellent job and I’m very pleased.
Had our entire house painted and artex plastered over by Borthwick Decorators. Very professional service and excellent finish and color on all our walls. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to go back to Borthwick Decorators in future
