stripping is labour intensive but has little material cost. Having said that... its best to price by the day or the hour for the stripping as you cant always tell how hard its going to be coming off. If you price it for a day and it takes two or three then youve lost a few pound straight away. The rest of the prep and decoration can be priced in the normal way.
