A letter from Vitalii
I'm Vitalii. I have worked for myself in Edinburgh since 2023, and I run my jobs so that you always understand what you are paying for. You speak to me directly, I explain what needs to be done, and I do the work to the highest standard. You get a quote before anything starts, your floors are protected, and the site is left clean every evening. When I hand the job over, you also get a written warranty.

What clients say
Common questions
Are estimates free?
Yes. The site visit and quote are free, with no obligation. The visit usually takes under 30 minutes, and the quote usually follows within 3 days.
Are you licensed?
Yes. I hold a valid painter licence and can show it at the site visit.
Which areas do you cover?
I'm based in Clovenstone, Edinburgh, and take work anywhere within 20 miles of the city. The map on this page shows the area and every town in it.
How long does a kitchen take?
It depends on the layout changes and material lead times. Your quote includes a schedule.
Does my job need a building warrant?
Most of my work doesn't. If yours does, I'll tell you at the site visit and explain what's needed before you commit.
Can we live at home during the work?
Usually, yes. I seal work areas with dust sheets, protect floors and clean up every evening.
How do payments work?
A deposit to book your start date, then staged payments tied to finished milestones. You never pay ahead of the work.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Every job comes with a written warranty on my workmanship. The length depends on the job and is written into your quote before you agree. Manufacturer warranties on products pass on to you.
Do you take small repair jobs?
Yes. Repairs are a regular part of my week. Send photos with your request and I can often quote without a visit.
Tell me about your project.
I usually reply the same day. Or message me on WhatsApp.
