  • Can't work out if that includes the paint or not. Have they given a time estimate for it? It's one of those things where if you're happy with the cost and need/want the work done to a good standard, think about what it would cost you in your time (allowing for the fact the pro will likely do it better and faster because they have the equipment and experience) and whether you want to do it yourself anyway...and go from there.

  • Yeah no fucking way I'm going up two storeys on a ladder, even if I could do it to a decent standard, which I probably couldn't. Just wondering how the price compares to other pros.

    Timewise, should be finished 1-2 weeks from now depending on weather. Looks like autumn rains here in the south west are beginning to set in, but should be enough dry days left to squeeze it in

    Price doesn't include paint - he's gonna get back to us on that after working out exactly how much is needed and after we pick a manufacturer and colour for the front

    Talking of which, I'm thinking pastel pink or yellow? Terrace is a mix of some pastel shades, some white and some bare brick. To my eyes the plain white houses look notably cheaper/less nice than the colours

  • Rapha pink?

  • I'd concur that it is a good price for the amount of labour time likely needed then - everything front and rear is no small job!

    Pastels look good I think, and perhaps (I don't really know) hide watermarks/pollution better than white?

  • For 1800 you’d think it’ll be finsihed in less than a week imo.

    Surely not including paint that quote even if it is white sandtex
