A rough ballpark of how many hours this will take?

Yes, I want to provide a fixed figure, but roughly based on hours. I'm thinking around 40 hours, at a meagre £10ph. And around another £100 for materials - preserver, hardener, 2-pack filler, primer and gloss. Then, as you say, I'll do it in my own time.

Yes, I have chisels, scrapers and stuff - no multitool, but I should be ok.

Ideal job for a multitool. Add all or part of the cost of buying one to the price. It'll pay for itself in time saved.

Cheers, NC. I realise I do actually have access to one if I need it.
