Cathedral stone, villa terraces, easy commute.
Dunblane is a small cathedral city on the Allan Water, one of the most sought-after commuter addresses in central Scotland — fast trains to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, good schools, and a handsome mix of property. There is the old cathedral close of historic stone, Victorian and Edwardian villas terraced above the river, and newer family housing on the edges.
We handle interior and exterior decoration, sash-window repainting, period finishes and commercial work. Same foreman across the job, daily clean-up, and a fixed quote before we start.

ABOUT DUNBLANE
Cathedral city on the Allan Water.
Dunblane is one of central Scotland’s most desirable small towns — a cathedral city on the Allan Water with fast trains to Glasgow and Edinburgh, sought-after schools, and a handsome range of property from the historic cathedral close to Victorian villa terraces and modern family homes. Standards are high and the period stock is well looked after.
We have decorated across Dunblane since 1959. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, with the period specialism the older stock needs, residential and commercial, and the same foreman from quote to final inspection.
STIRLING CLIENT FEEDBACK
A small sample from our Stirling portfolio.
We were very pleased with the job the team did on our exterior painting. The sash windows and doors now look as good as new. The team were very polite and professional and tidied up neatly afterwards. We’re very happy to recommend Borthwick Decorators!
I can highly recommend Borthwick Decorators. The 4 man team carried out a very professional and efficient job painting the exterior of our house. The end result is terrific ,we would certainly use them again in the future.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Working with us in Dunblane.
Do you work on the historic cathedral-close property?
Yes — we use breathable systems on the historic stone, match period colours, and handle the consent paperwork conservation work needs.
Do you also cover modern family homes?
We do — the newer estates around Dunblane are as much a part of our work here as the Victorian villas and the old town.
Do you repaint original timber windows?
Wherever the timber is sound — 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 Stirling office at Castle Business Park and have served the area since 1959. Dunblane is a short run — no separate travel charge, and the quote is the price.
How quickly can you start?
Usually four to six weeks for residential work, sooner for smaller jobs. We confirm the date when we quote.
