    I had a man 4 years ago to paint the front only of a mid terrace, with a large bay window, so most of the front was bay window. He took 3 days and supplied scaffolding. He erected the scaffolding each morning and took it all away again each day. He scraped off the old stuff, did some filling/cracks, sealed and then finished it all off in masonry paint. Window sills were done in a different colour. The material of the building was slate. I believe he used Sandtex. I wasn't there when he was doing it as I was out at work all day.

    I paid £400.

    No windows/drainpipes/soffits done as they were uPVC.

    Only annoyance was he somehow managed to splash paint on the front door I'd recently painted and then used a damp rag to wipe it off ... which meant you could see where that had been as it was dull.
