The job:
Minor repairs (remove nails and screws, fill holes) and vinyl matt emulsion the walls of a bedroom, size 18ft x 12ft in Victorian house (fairly high ceiling)
Emulsion the ceiling and the Victorian coving.
The ceiling has a small repair job (brown splodge from a leak in the bathroom above) the coving has a couple of chunks missing which he says he can repair using layers of filler.
He said 2 days work, £250 to include filler, but I have to buy all the paint.
He is an older guy, maybe 60, properly apprenticed and long-served in the job.
Does that sound fair?
