Professional Painter And Decorator Jobs in Edinburgh EH12

If you have the required experience and valid documentation (like right-to-work and a CSCS card), we can often place you within 24-48 hours. We have multiple clients in the Edinburgh EH12 area with immediate requirements. The speed depends on completing our fast-track registration, which we prioritise for candidates ready to start ASAP. For those needing a CSCS card, we can advise on the quickest route to obtain one.

The West Edinburgh (EH12) area has a mix of commercial and high-spec residential work. Common projects include: New-build apartment interiors in developing areas, commercial office refits in business parks, maintenance and redecorations for housing associations, and high-end residential refurbishments. You may work on everything from plasterboard priming to applying feature wall finishes. Experience with both brush/roller and spray applications is valuable.

For most Painter Decorator roles, you are expected to provide your own basic hand tools (brushes, rollers, scrapers, knives, etc.). Specialist equipment like sprayers or scaffolding is typically provided by the client or contractor. Reliable transport is essential, as sites in and around EH12 (like Edinburgh Park, Gyle, Corstorphine) can be spread out with limited public transport access. Some city-centre sites may be accessible by bus or tram, but your own vehicle significantly increases the roles available to you.

Temporary (Temp): You are employed by Labourer Agency and paid by us for the duration of a specific contract or to cover a short-term need. You have the flexibility to move between projects. Temp-to-Perm (TTP): You start working for a client through us on a temporary basis, typically for a trial period (e.g., 8-12 weeks). If both you and the client are happy, you then transfer to a permanent employment contract directly with the client. This is a very common route in construction, offering a"try before you buy" for both parties. Explore more about this on our temporary jobs page.
