Decorating prices - I need some guidance

[Sarah A-G]

Can anyone help? I need two bedrooms stripped and painted. Approximately 13 x 12 each. Reasonable state. Plain wallpaper currently. Ceiling / skirting boards / radiator etc need painting too. Bog standard Dulux is fine. I have been quoted ?650 per room. Inclusive of labour and materials. Is this reasonable? I know I should get another quote but I am pushed for time. These people could start next week. I would be very grateful if someone in the know / who has just had something similar done could give me the heads up.

Sounds like about 4 days work, prices seems fine to me.

Agree (tu)

I normally pay ?100 per day so sounds expensive to me!

I'd get more quotes! Plenty of good P&Ds out there!

I don't know what the quality of the house is - but if it's a London stock ED 3 bedroom you might want to put backing paper on the wall before painting?

It'll possibly cost you a little more, but it makes a hell of a difference to the perceived warmth of a room compared with paint on plaster. The texture will also reflect modern light bulbs less harshly :)

Many thanks for your help. Sarah
