    Thanks for replaying.

    I am hanging super fresco throughout then painting on top.
    i have had three quotes in total and this one was the expensive but he was recommended by a mate at work.

    And get everything in writing, make sure it says 'quote' and not estimate.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • as is always said in this section, over and over again, a recommendation is the best type, the price to me seems about right
