Hello just wondered if anyone can help me out with the cost of painting the exterior of a 4 bed Victorian terrace. It's wooden sash windows and cills and front door that need painting rather than the walls.

I Appreciate each place varies in condition but just trying to get a feel for a reasonable amount.

Thanks so much

Will PM you.


In the meantime, some things to consider are the condition of the wood and how much work it will take to strip it and refinish, whether any wood will require replacing.


Scaffolding is generally quite expensive, and cost will depend on how much and how long you need it for.


If you're having more than one decorator, it will increase your labour costs, but reduce the time.


If you own the property, will any costs be covered as rolling repairs under your home owners policy?


Materials cost will vary highly depending on what you choose.


Many decorators will not charge for a quote, but will require some upfront costs to be paid. Always ask for an itemised quote, so you can see how labour and materials are allocated. xx

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
