I've commissioned a builder/decorator to repaint the front of my house, which is 33ft high and 20 ft wide.
It's down to me to purchase all the materials, which will include waterproof masonry sealant, crack filler, exterior masonry paint, and enough primer, undercoat and black matt topcoat for 7 windows. The builder reckons I should expect to pay at least £200 for these materials.
I've never bought this much in one go before and am wondering how I can get the very best deal on price. Should I go to one shop, look online, shop around, go direct to a factory, open a trade account with someone, or what?
Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thank you.
