Welcome to Borthwick Decorators Pitlochry
Borthwick Decorators has painted Pitlochry homes and businesses since 1959 — Victorian resort villas, Highland guest houses and hotels, and stone property around Moulin. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, rated 4.9/5 from 175+ verified reviews.
Resort villas, Highland hotels, hard winters.
Pitlochry grew as a Victorian resort town, and the property shows it — substantial stone villas along Atholl Road and Higher Oakfield, a long run of guest houses and hotels that live and die on how they look each season, and older Highland cottages around Moulin. It sits high in the hills, so the weather is hard on exterior paint and the tourist calendar leaves little room for overruns.
We handle interior and exterior decoration, sash-window repainting, period finishes and hospitality work. Same foreman from first visit to final walk-round, daily clean-up, and a fixed quote before we start.

ABOUT PITLOCHRY
Perthshire's Highland resort.
Pitlochry has been a Highland Perthshire resort since the railway arrived in Victorian times, and it still works to that rhythm — villas and hotels built for visitors, a busy tourist season, and a hard upland climate that tests every exterior finish. Property owners here need work that holds and a decorator who can fit the calendar.
We have served Pitlochry and Highland Perthshire since 1959. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, residential and commercial, with the same foreman from quote to final inspection and a fixed price agreed before we start.
PERTHSHIRE CLIENT FEEDBACK
A small sample from our Perthshire portfolio.
Had the interior of our main Pitlochry office painted & exterior of our 2nd office in Aberfeldy painted, both carried out to an exceptionally high standard and with minimal disruption. Highly commend the decorators for their professionalism & attention to detail.
We just had our Sitting Room Kitchen Main Bathroom and Hallway painted internally in our bungalow and we just have to say what a brilliant job was made of it so much so we are now considering having our bedrooms done next year.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Working with us in Pitlochry.
Can you cope with the Highland weather on exterior work?
Yes — it is the main challenge here. Pitlochry sits high and exposed, so we prepare hard and use breathable, durable systems built to hold through Highland winters.
Do you work around the tourist season for hotels and guest houses?
We do. Most hospitality work is phased into the close season or scheduled to keep you trading. We agree the programme and the finish date up front.
Do you repaint original timber windows?
Wherever the timber is sound, yes — repair, repaint and draught-proof, replacing cills only where the weather has got in.
Where are you based, and is there a travel charge to Pitlochry?
We have a Perth office and have served Highland Perthshire since 1959. Pitlochry 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.
