Hello folks.
Obviously this is abit of a general idea because nobody knows exactly the size of the semi detached. All I can say is its a bog standard house as below
2 double bedrooms
1 single bedroom
1 bathroom
1 living room
1 kitchen
Hall stairs and landing.
All the rooms need painted. All the ceilings need painted. All the wood skirting boards, doors, bannister etc all need painted.
I dare say every room will need 2 coats.
Obviously an accurate figure will be hard to produce as each house varies but what is the minimum a painter would charge for this work. What would be the maximum I would be looking at roughly?
I would say it would probably take a full week to do it all. Maybe even more.
Many thanks
