Spa-town villas above Strathearn.
Crieff made its name as a Victorian spa town, and the housing reflects it — substantial stone villas terraced up the hillside above Strathearn, tight town stock around King Street and Comrie Street, and a strong hospitality trade anchored by the Hydro. It is an affluent, well-kept town where the finish is expected to match the address.
We handle interior and exterior decoration, sash-window repainting, period finishes and commercial work. Same foreman from first visit to final inspection, daily clean-up, and a fixed quote before we start.

ABOUT CRIEFF
Strathearn's spa town.
Crieff sits on a south-facing hillside above Strathearn, a Victorian spa town that drew visitors to its hydro and kept the substantial villas they built. Today it is one of the most desirable addresses in inland Perthshire — a mix of period homes, a busy town centre and a hospitality trade that keeps the place lively year round.
We have decorated across Crieff since 1959. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, with the period and sash window specialism the villa stock calls for, residential and commercial, and the same foreman from quote to final inspection.
PERTHSHIRE CLIENT FEEDBACK
A small sample from our Perthshire portfolio.
Borthwicks painted the exterior of our house in Crieff. David gave good advice and there were no hidden costs in the quote. The crew were friendly and professional; finished on time; and used top quality materials.
Excellent job !! . The 3 painters were really nice guys and were fantastic at their jobs. Cannot recommend this company highly enough . Thanks again.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Working with us in Crieff.
Do you specialise in the Victorian villa stock in Crieff?
Yes — the hillside spa-town villas are exactly the kind of period property we work on most. Cornice repair, breathable systems and period colour are all part of what we do here.
Can you decorate hotels and guest houses without closing them?
We can — phased and out-of-season work that keeps you trading is standard for hospitality. We agree the programme up front.
Do you repaint original timber windows?
Wherever the timber is sound, yes. We repair, repaint and draught-proof, replacing cills only where rot demands it.
Where are you based, and is there a travel charge?
We have a Perth office — our registered office is on Comrie Street in Crieff — and have served Strathearn since 1959. There is no separate travel charge, and the quote is the price.
How quickly can you start?
Usually four to six weeks for residential work. We confirm the date when we quote.
