• What are 'london prices' for a painter/decorator (is that really a thing or is split into two jobs?) for a single room and are economies of scale at play so that multiple rooms become cheaper.

    Thinking: preparing walls and woodwork, prime, paint, supply materials (F&B or matched colour as my understanding is painters hate it? Though would prefer F&B specifically for 'dead flat' on walls, skirting, door, not ceiling apparently?) and tools. Room is 4m x 6m with a bay window. No ceiling. We're not london but wondering what higher end would be so we can be pleasantly surprised down in devon. Because I just can't bring myself to paint another fucking inch.

  • Don't know how representative this is but I am billing myself out at £55-75 ph for decorating.

    I prefer tikkurila optiva over F&B for low sheen finishes. Don't know who can can colour match to F&B in the West Country

  • Appreciate this - particularly tikkurila optiva which I hadn't come across. Will look into..
