• 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.

  • We paid our decorator £300 for a room of a similar size but no bay window and we supplied the paint. He was good and efficient. We had another decorator before (he was booked up this time) who would have charged £500 but he was excellent mostly in the prep work, so as to create a faultless finish

  • Thanks - this is a good ref. I was mentally preparing for around the £1k mark inc paint (was looking at 3 x 5l tins of dead flat, so 350 quid or so).
