Welcome to Borthwick Decorators Auchterarder

A long High Street and Gleneagles country.
Auchterarder is best known for its mile-and-a-half High Street — one of the longest in Scotland — and for Gleneagles on its doorstep. Between them sits a run of Victorian stone houses, country villas and estate property that draws an affluent, exacting clientele. It is a place where the standard of finish is noticed and expected to last.
We cover interior and exterior decoration, sash-window repainting, period and estate finishes and commercial work. Same foreman across the job, daily clean-up, and a fixed quote agreed before we start.

ABOUT AUCHTERARDER
Strathearn's High Street town.
Auchterarder runs along one long High Street through Strathearn, with Gleneagles and its estates on the doorstep. The combination — a well-kept Victorian town and a ring of country and estate property — makes it one of the most affluent corners of inland Perthshire, and one where decorating is held to a high standard.
We have worked across Auchterarder and Strathearn since 1959. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, residential and commercial, with the period specialism the older stock needs and the same foreman from quote to final inspection.
PERTHSHIRE CLIENT FEEDBACK
A small sample from our Perthshire portfolio.
We have just had some excellent decorating done by Borthwick Decorators (end of June 2021) We have an open plan house in Auchterarder, and they must have done the equivalent of 2,000 sq ft of ceiling and 500+ sq ft of walls.
We engaged Borthwick Decorators to paint the exterior walls of our house. The work was commenced at the agreed date and completed within the proposed time scale allowing for 3-4 days when no painting was possible because of rain.
