Quote to paint a semi-detached house
Hi, I've had two quotes for painting the masonry and woodwork of my 1930s 4 bedroom semi-detached house, and they came in at £4,500 and £4,650 for exterior only, which I can't get my head around.

Is this quote for glazing too much?
Thoughts on this quote? We are a 3 bed semi and our bathroom window is broken. We could just replace it like for like but as all the windows are old and ideally need replacing we thought we might as well get them all done. We’ve got 7 windows altogether but 3 of them are huge so may count as 2 windows so make that 10. Plus…
