Professional painters and decorators.

Need to get a few rooms decorated as soon as I move in in a couple of weeks.
Can anyone give me an approximate time and cost/day rate to do:-
Lounge- remove wall paper floor to ceiling and paint room 4.5x3.5m
Bedroom2 - remove wall paper from one wall and paint 3.5x2.5m
Bedroom3- remove wallpaper from 1 wall and paint 2.7x2.5m
All rooms have large windows

I appreciate these things are not easy to calculate with out seeing but I'd appreciate the advice if possible.
Also anyone who covers the area of st.ives Cambridgeshire let me know if u are interested.

£150 - 200 per day. Time depends on many factors ie how many layers of paper and types of paper then there is the condition of wall under the paper.
 
You need to confirm each room-

Walls, ceilings, skirting, windows. Do the windows or anywhere need repair, or is it as clean and sharp as you want and do you "just" want a decorating, simple prep job.

Are you altering anything such as sockets, tv positions, bed locations that might mean service work by sparks or plumbers.

The more tired the property is the more time will be required.

Each job has its own veriable factors, and nothing quoted here means anything.
 
No changes to plumbing/sparks
The house is in reasonable decorative order just not to my taste.
I get that you don't know what's under the wallpaper.

I appreciate its kinda vague, I'm a plumber/gasman myself and see vague posts on the plumbing forum just trying to get an idea of how long really.
I'd probably allow myself 2 days to do a room. But maybe a pro without down time Ie can get in in another room, could get 3 rooms done in less time.

Reason I ask is I'm going away for a week shortly after the move so was wondering if it could be done while I was away.

One man would not complete that workload in a week( to a satisfactory standard)

Two full weeks at least

At least 2 weeks to paint 3 rooms??
Are you a professional decorator?
 
Your a pro, how would you like me to tell you you have 4 days to do a boiler, 8 rads, new gas from the meter and do the HW / CW throughout the house?

As mentioned its not seen, you haven't mentioned much about the place.

3 ceilings, clean / dust / no prep - 2 coats in trade 3 x 3 x 2 or 18 hours

3 rooms- 2 coats in trade 3 x 7 x 2 or 42 hours

3 doors - 2 coats in trade wb 1 hour prep per door 3 x 3 or 9 hours

3 windows and frames- wood casement, no multi panes- prep 3 hours per unit, spot prim, 2 uc, 1 tc
3 + 3 x 3 or 18 hours

3 rooms of skirting and architrave, 2 hours prep per room, 2 coats wb satin
3 x 2+ 4 or 18 hours

105 hours

No furniture in room, no carpets, straight unhindered job.
 
Id probably allow 5 days to be on safe side for the plumbing stuff.

No windows/doors to paint just walls/ceilings.

I can appreciate that you haven't seen it.

My questions of 2 weeks/ are u a pro are genuine not trying to start a row.


7hrs (a day) to paint one coat?

So @£200 per day of i take out the windows and doors from your hours is aprox 80hrs-12days?
So £2400
Materials £200?
VAT???
So @£3k to get the 3 rooms done?
 
80 hours is 10 days, man and good lad at £225-250 would be £1250 add materials.

20 litre trade white emulsion £50
20 litres of trade colour £140
Sand paper, fillers, misc £30
2.5 litres wb satin £30

Go at £600 a room, might be hard getting anyone at the moment its peak outside up scaffold season.
