Exterior painters in Dunfermline: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

If you own the property, you’re responsible for all exterior upkeep and any painting work. Before hiring someone, check if your home is listed or in a conservation area—you may need planning permission.

Renters

You’ll need permission from your landlord before arranging any exterior painting. In most cases, it’s the landlord’s responsibility. Flag any damage or peeling paint to your letting agent or landlord.
