Painter - London

Hi There,

Can anyone advise me if the following daily rate for a painter is too much or about right for the London area - have been quoted £120?

Many thanks

:)

    Have a look at the My Builder website. You can enter details of the job and people will quote for it on line and then you can check their refs.

    i would have thought for london rates that is cheap
  • it certainly is cheap - £120 wont get you much in London - if you pay less you might compromise on quality - having said that - try and get references! you'll know if you've got someone good value then.
