As the only 2 leaseholders can we tell the freeholder to get stuffed and for us to undertake the work?

No. But you can suggest contractors they should get quotes from and there's nothing to stop you getting your own quotes.

Cheers for that, are they under any obligation to then go with them or are we basically a bit over a barrel?

I don't mind paying for things but I hate paying for incompetence and sub sub sub contractors to do a 1/3rd rate job

Also they want to do the works in February, I don't understand why they would want to repaint a place at that time of year as I was always told spring to autumn was best time to paint externally

No, but if they went with a more expensive quote for no good reason you'd have solid grounds for challenging the reasonableness of the service charges.
