Decorating

Hi,

Just had an extension so have a few bits that need painting.

Would someone let me know if this quote seems reasonable.

The bedroom is about 3.2m by 4m.

Thanks

£360 (labour only)

  • I recently had a room 6m x 4.4m painted and finished which included:

    -All preparation work including some minor filling
    -Application of stain/damp block on a small area where previous historical (but fixed) leak occurred on ceiling
    -Application of mist-coat to the ceiling which had newly dried plaster on it
    -Two coats of white emulsion to walls, coving and ceilings
    -MDF (pre-primed skirting) finished in Satinwood.

    Total Cost £500 (They supplied paint & materials)

    Considering your job is a little under 1/2 of the area of mine and your woodwork was bare so probably required more work to finish, £360 seems reasonable to me? Maybe a little bit expensive if you also have to supply the paint. You also have more coats than me as I am just doing mine white so more labour there I guess. I am by no means experienced so can only compared based on what I paid after having a number of similar quotes.
