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

    • Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
