Decorating
Options
Hi quite new to this site but love it , im hoping someone can help give me a rough idea of decorating charges etc. Quotes i have had seem a bit high
I have 3 quotes for the work i need doing including stripping and wallpapering hall, stairs and landing, including painting 8 doors and all skirting board and a coat of paint for ceiling . Also stripping small bedroom walls and applying lining paper and paint to walls , no window frame to paint but skirting and door need painting and coat of paint for the ceiling .Walls in both rooms are in good condtion.
Quotes i have range from £1100 to £1400 and i have no idea if this is reasonable or not, im quite willing to pay this if it is the going rate but just need reassuring really ! Thanks in advance

And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood

You might be better to post your question on the "Is This Qote Fair" forum.

Depends on size and depending how many coats of paint required on doors and skirting, but sounds like three days work. At £300 a day plus materials, £1100 sounds like the going rate.0 -
Sounds fair to me. Make sure the quotes are in writing.
N.Never be afraid to take a profit.
Keep breathing. :eek:
Just because I am surrounded by FOOLS does not make me wise. :j0 -
