  • lugging bikes up and down a narrow stairwell has left much of our tiny flat in a bit of a paint-state.

    fellow we had round yesterday quoted us £7300 to paint entire 2 bed flat. that's said stairwell, 2 beds, entrance hall, lounge, kitchen and some damp proofing in the bathroom, doors, rads and skirting, evening out any dents and uneven bits plus tarting up the outside sills. includes materials. managed to negotiate down to £6900. sound about right?

  • I paid £2,200 to paint my 2 bed flat, as part of a complete renovation though. Didn't include things like tarting up, skirting, sills or any plastering work either (tho did include rads)

  • that sounds more in line with what i'd expect to pay tbh. he's doing a lot, has a list of recommendations as long as my arm and is a sound bloke to deal with (you'd be amazed how far rocking up to do a quote at the time you agreed will get you).

    we can't put the house on the market in its current state, so it seems a wise investment either way.
