Why It Matters?
Why Tenement Stairwell Decoration Matters
- Preserves heritage: Original features such as stonework, cornices and railings deserve specialist treatment.
- Protects your property: Quality coatings protect against damp, wear and deterioration.
- Adds value: A well-maintained communal stairwell improves kerb appeal and property value.
- Complies with legislation: In many cases, shared repairs are legally required under Title Deeds and Edinburgh Council’s Statutory Notice system.
- Creates pride of place: Clean, well-kept spaces improve communal living and the building’s overall presentation.
“A tenement close is more than a corridor — it’s the heart of the building.”
