Decorator costs

Recommended Posts

Hello,


Could anyone give me a steer on costs for a decorator in ED?


I live in a fairly small one-bedroom flat, it's a new build so the walls are pretty good. Just looking for a fresh coat of paint to the walls and ceiling.


Appreciate costs can vary depending on size, type of paint etc. but I've not hired a decorator before and have no idea what is fair.


Any advice would be very much appreciated.


Thanks.

My friend had this done about 18 months ago. One bed new build. Painting walls and ceiling. No 'woodwork' ie doors or skirting. The total cost was £1200 including materials. Took two people just short of three days, I think.


I don't know the name of the contractor and can't find out, sorry.


I don't know if DIY is an option at all for you (probably not since you're asking about a decorator), but rollering walls in good condition is not that difficult and you can get good results. Materials costs for the job above would've been about £150 at the most.


Hope all that helps.

Hi.


If you would like someone to give you a free quote I recommend MJB Painters & Decorators. I've used them a number of times always been really pleased with their professionalism, fair rate, reliability and high standard of finish. Give Mark a call for a free quote on 07506 047721


Many Thanks.

    • Hi .. I’ve still got the  bike lock 😀
    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
