    Nah £2500 is not good....but that WAS a one off as the soffits and facias were taken down and replaced...and as there was asbestos involved the cost was high....but that's not going to be done again... overall the painting of the building costs an average of £5000 ...every 7 years...£1250 between four flats comes to £178 a year ...which I think IS good.

    luckily i dont think my block has any painted surfaces as the outside and internal walls are all brick faced and all windows are upvc - the only possible recurring cost is carpeting which im hoping can be held off - it would be better if they used a non carpeted surface when they eventually wear out as i hate carpets
