# Edinburgh Painting Contractors Ltd

Edinburgh Painting Contractors Ltd is a specialist surface preparation and painting company with over 55 years of heritage in delivering complex industrial and commercial projects. Founded in 1969 by Jack Marshall, this family-run business has established itself as a trusted partner for demanding applications across onshore and offshore environments.

The company serves private homeowners, commercial enterprises, and heavy industrial clients requiring specialist surface treatment and protective coatings. Their portfolio includes notable work refurbishing lighthouses for the Northern Lighthouse Board, alongside painting bridges, storage tanks, pipelines, and offshore structures throughout Scotland.

What distinguishes Edinburgh Painting Contractors is their comprehensive approach to surface preparation combined with expert coating application. They handle grit blasting, sand blasting, and high-pressure water blasting to prepare substrates properly before applying specialist protective coatings. This two-stage expertise ensures durability and performance across vastly different applications—from traditional sandstone and granite domestic properties to industrial maritime structures.

Their commitment to quality is underpinned by substantial insurance protection (£2,000,000 Public Liability and £10,000,000 Employers' Liability), strict Health & Safety compliance, and demonstrated flexibility tackling projects of any scale. The combination of technical specialisation, institutional experience with government bodies, and proven ability to work on challenging environments—including offshore installations—positions them as specialists rather than generalist painters.
