Paint all walls of a 2-bed flat - £900

dominoman

I have a London flat that I want to freshen up before letting out.

The walls are currently magnolia and are in OK condition (some marks and just slightly tatty) with a few holes in them.

I received a quote for £900 for the whole job, including filling the holes, prep, two coats of magnolia emulsion. Walls only, no ceilings or woodwork. Does that seem fair?

Did you request a specific paint?

do you a measure of the floor area of the flat in m2?

No. I didn't request a specific paint. Should I? So long as it looks good and lasts a few years I don't mind what they use.

Floor area is 110 m2

to the VERY extreme they could quote you a silly paint like anti-graffiti paint which is about £115 a tin.

I would request a simple gliddens (Dulux's cheaper sister) matt emulsion.

I have done some sums and think about £750 would be about right, but given the fact you're in London would cover the reason why its at the £900 mark.

Thanks. I'll go ahead with it.
