Painting/Decorating quote

My mum just got a quote to do her hallway - now as far as I am concerned it is not very big as it is ex local authority. There is a small hall portion downstairs, the stairs themselves and a small top landing which is mostly doors to be honest. Sorry I don't know the measurements.

She has been quoted to strip existing wallpaper, fill in any cracks, repaper and emulsion the ceiling. Total price £400 but does not include gloss work.

Sorry clueless when it comes to fair quotes - this is the first one she has had. The guy has said she would need around 13 rolls of paper.....I can't see it myself.

Thanks in advance.

    Without looking at it, its difficult to quote, but I would say thats a pretty good price tbh. I wouldnt do it for that money.
