To think this is expensive?

Painter decorator quote for master in a typical
1930'a semi.

Just to paint walls, woodwork and ceiling plus paper 1 wall- £300 they will supply gloss abd ceiling paint.
That's price for 2 of them working a day and 1/2.
We would have to strip and prep walls for them.

Seems a tad steep am I a cheep sake don't mind to be told I am just honest answers please- I in the midlands

I've no idea on cost. But agree I think I'd have been taken aback at first, however as been pointed out it's actually 3 days work as they are two of them.
And if be really surprised if you could really "paint walls, woodwork and ceiling plus paper 1 wall" in that time or even a week.

The ceiling makes it 6 walks to paint really as it's more difficult. Plus papering, that's a lot to get done in less than a weekend.

Send them to me! More than double that here (SE)

I think that it's very reasonable. My decorator charges £100 a day plus materials (I'm in Yorkshire).

I'm in the midlands, that sounds fair.

Tbh I would never pay that much when I know that I could do it myself for a fraction of the cost and a bit of elbow grease! This is why I am a demon wallpaper hanger, I am too tight to pay anyone else to do it!

It sounds okay but it would probably be more economical for them to do two rooms. Then they can paint one room while the paint is drying in the other.

Sounds like you're getting a good deal to me. SE here, and our decorator charges in the region of £130 a day. Think he supplies a lot of the materials except the wall colour. But he is a good friend of ours and charges next to nothing.
I'd get a few quotes though if you're not entirely happy.

I think that's a cheap as chips and you should bite their hands off! (essex here)

StoorieHoose I'm assuming that they are handymen being as they are working for less than £100 a day!

DH is a painter and decorator and that is about right.

It's expensive getting painters to do it for you wherever you live. I cannot bear to pay other people to do something I could actually do myself.

One room That's why we do the decorating ourselves!

Thats a pretty decent price.

I do all our decorating.. what you've described is pretty easy OP.. could you not do it yourself?

It sounds extremely reasonable to me.

Have just had a four floor town house redecorated from top to bottom. A bit of making good but no stripping or papering except for in the kitchen which was presented as a builders' finish - there was a lot of hall, stairs and landing and paintwork. £5,500 not including materials. They did it in two weeks and there were four or five working sometimes. SW London.

Sounds about right imo.

Sounds really cheap to me. Go for it or do it yourself to save money.

Sounds good to me too. I do all of our decorating and have done a number if buy to lets but when the hall stairs and landing if my house needed doing, I paid decorators to do it. The finish they got was far superior than I could do and I don't do a half arsed job. The woodwork was especially impressive.

20£/h here in NE Scotland for professional painter.He did a brilliant job but had him here for 3 days. The walls are such shit that i'd never manage to wallpaper it myself, even the floor is not square!
