Welcome to Borthwick Decorators Callander
Borthwick Decorators has painted Callander homes and businesses since 1959 — Victorian villas and guest houses along the Main Street, and stone property at the gateway to the Trossachs. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, rated 4.9/5 from 175+ verified reviews.
Trossachs gateway, Victorian Main Street.
Callander is the eastern gateway to the Trossachs, a busy Victorian tourist town strung along a long Main Street of stone villas, shops, hotels and guest houses. The visitor trade keeps the High Street smart and the hospitality premises in regular need of decorating, while the stone villas behind ask for the period work the older stock always does.
We handle interior and exterior decoration, sash-window repainting, period finishes and hospitality work. Same foreman across the job, daily clean-up, and a fixed quote agreed before we start.

ABOUT CALLANDER
Gateway to the Trossachs.
Callander has been the eastern gateway to the Trossachs since the Victorians made it a holiday town, and it still runs to that tune — a long Main Street of stone villas, hotels and guest houses, busy through the season and exposed to Highland-edge weather. Strictly in Perthshire, it shares the period stock and the visitor trade of the wider county.
We have decorated across Callander since 1959. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, residential and commercial, with the period and hospitality experience the town needs and the same foreman from quote to final inspection.
PERTHSHIRE CLIENT FEEDBACK
A small sample from our Perthshire portfolio.
The team that painted our outside house were very professional. They did an excellent job and worked very hard. We were very pleased with the job they did and would highly recommend them.
Skilful and efficient. The team displayed impressive attention to detail.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Working with us in Callander.
Do you decorate hotels and guest houses around the season?
Yes — phased and out-of-season work that keeps you trading is standard for the hospitality premises along the Main Street. We agree the programme up front.
Can you handle Trossachs-edge exterior weather?
We can. Exposed property needs proper preparation and breathable, durable systems, and we coordinate access where it is awkward.
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 Perthshire and the Trossachs since 1959. Callander 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; hospitality work is booked around the season. We confirm the date when we quote.
