Why Sciennes Homeowners Choose Bert's
Local Knowledge
Sciennes is a compact area of predominantly Victorian tenement properties, many with original features like high ceilings, deep cornicing, and timber sash windows. We understand the preparation these older surfaces need — from stripping layers of old paint on window frames to patching lime plaster before redecorating.
Mess-Free & Efficient
We protect your floors, furniture and fittings as standard. Sciennes tenement flats often have shared stairwells and close neighbours, so we take care to keep communal areas clean and work considerate hours throughout the project.

About Sciennes
Sciennes is a small, residential neighbourhood tucked between Marchmont and the Meadows in south Edinburgh. The area takes its name from the medieval Convent of St Catherine of Sienna and is centred around Sciennes Road, Sciennes Gardens, and Sylvan Place. Properties are mostly traditional Edinburgh tenements — solid stone-built flats with high ceilings, bay windows, and period features like cornicing and ceiling roses. The Meadows parkland sits just to the north, and the area is well connected to the university quarter. Bert’s Decorating regularly works in Sciennes and the surrounding streets, bringing the right skills and experience for these characterful Edinburgh homes.
