Anybody know of a decent painter and decorator that would do a couple of rooms in E14?

Just need:
1 wall to be wallpapered (6m by 2.5m)
1 hall to be wallpapered
2 bedrooms to be painted

I have just been quoted £653.80!!! If I went with them I would definately be joining the moneylosingexpert club.

    That is about right a good painter and decorator usually charges about 120 aday with wallpapering it will be even more.

    Looks like I will be attempting in on my own then as I certainly can't afford anything near what they quoted!!

    Thanks ruby - at least they were not trying to rip me off.

    I paid about £600+ just to have my hallway painted a few years back, however, it is a large hallway as I have one of those Edwardian houses with very high ceilings and the painter needed scaffolding ladders and boards to do the stair well.
