Any idea how much to redecorate a bedroom?
I'm trying to estimate a fair price for redecorating a relatively small bedroom.
Sizes are approximately 12ft x 13ft and one wall is almost completely floor to ceiling wardrobes. There is a single window and one painted door.
The flat is relatively new with emulsion painted plasterboard walls which are in fairly good condition appart from the odd screw hole which will need
filling.
Job would be labour only to emulsion ceiling and walls and gloss paint the skirting, door frame, door etc.
Any idea what a fair price would be?
John.

Depends on who you get to do it.
Sounds like a pretty easy job (ie quick fill of the screw holes and lots of painting). Couple of days max.
There's a bloke round my way of borderline legailty re being in the country who is very handy with a paintbrush and charges £60 a day (cash in
hand etc etc).... You also supply the paint so you don't pay inflatted prices for the paint.
It's worth going on sites like myhammer.co.uk and myworkman.co.uk and seeing what other people have paid...

I can believe the work could be done in a day in terms of the total hours but how do you cope with drying times?
I assume the ceiling would have to dry before the walls could be finished and likewise the walls would need to be fully dry before the gloss could be
cut-in.

You would need to juggle several jobs, few hours on each. Just charge for how long you're there.

If you start by edging the ceiling, then roller, it will be dry enough to edge the walls with care, roller them, then get to with the woodwork. I
would have said.
Are you planning to do th job for someelse, or have someone do the job for you?
