    2 people 3 days - £200 that's £33.3 per day each! That's less than minimum wage!
    2 people 5 days £550 that's £55 each - they're coining it in!!! Although they did have to supply the paint, so maybe not :(
    aye welcome to modern day pricing when your local window cleaner will undercut you or your nearest handyman is now a tradesman.

    sadly more and more people go down that route.

    i don't think so , i would say the very least a proper decorator would charge is £100 per day if not £150 depending on the area.
    if you take tax and all the expenses out of £55 per day you would probably make a loss ,
