What does a decent painter/ decorator charge per hour?

[Feckbox]

Thanks

Friend who is a decorator charges £100/day. (South East).

Is that for 8 hours? Seems very inexpensive

100 per day is about right for SE

Same here, NW.

Thanks all. By per day, how many hours do you mean .?

Here in SW around Bath, ours charge £17/hour.

I recently paid £150 per day, central London, labour only. He worked 8am until 4pm. as the light was beginning to fade at 4.

My DH is painter and decorator and a very good one - he charges £100/day (8 hours)

We are in central scotland

Not per hour but i have just had a guy do 5 rooms (all roughly large dbl bedroom size) for £250 per room. It took him 2 - 2.5 days per room. He was by far the cheapest of the three quotes I got. The expensive guy was more like £400 per room.

In the SE (not London).

Interesting thread as I had someone round yesterday to look at some work we need done and have no idea what a sensible quote would be.

We were quoted £800 from 1 guy for a job he said could take him 10 days as he's on his own. But he was recommended by a friend for being particularly cheap.
I'm hoping yesterday's one isn't too much more, there's 2 of them & they said it should take 4 days.

Thanks everyone. This is very helpful

WOW that much!?!?! Glad I did our new house myself. I think I saved about £2000 (and the rest!)
