Welcome to Borthwick Decorators Blairgowrie
Borthwick Decorators has painted Blairgowrie and Rattray homes since 1959 — Victorian villas around the Wellmeadow, Ericht mill houses, and Strathmore country property. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, rated 4.9/5 from 175+ verified reviews.
Wellmeadow villas, Ericht mills, berry country.
Blairgowrie and Rattray face each other across the River Ericht at the heart of Strathmore’s berry country. The town grew on the mills and the soft-fruit trade, leaving Victorian villas around the Wellmeadow, stone terraces through both halves, and a wide rural hinterland of farmhouses and country homes running up Glenshee and out across the strath.
We cover interior and exterior decoration, sash-window repainting, period finishes and commercial work. Same foreman across the job, daily clean-up, and a fixed quote agreed before we start.

ABOUT BLAIRGOWRIE
The heart of Strathmore.
Blairgowrie and Rattray grew together on the River Ericht as the centre of Strathmore’s soft-fruit country, the mills and berry trade leaving a solid stock of Victorian villas and stone terraces. Around the town, farmhouses and country homes spread across the strath and up towards Glenshee, giving the same mix of town and country work we see across rural Perthshire.
We have decorated across Blairgowrie and Rattray 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.
Excellent job !! . The 3 painters were really nice guys and were fantastic at their jobs. Cannot recommend this company highly enough . Thanks again.
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.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Working with us in Blairgowrie.
Do you cover Rattray and the country property too?
Yes — Rattray across the Ericht and the farmhouses and country homes across Strathmore and towards Glenshee are all part of our regular Blairgowrie run.
Do you handle the Victorian villa stock?
We do — cornice repair, breathable systems and period colour for the Wellmeadow villas and terraces are core to what we do here.
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 Perth office and have served Strathmore since 1959. Blairgowrie is part of our regular 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.
