Pricing a job

[Carlnorwich]

I've spent many years painting and decorating for myself, friends and family.

A friend of a friend would like me to decorate a couple of rooms for him; strip, paper, paint etc.

I don't know what to charge. Is there an accurate way to price a job (a general rule), or a guide to follow? He wants a price before I begin.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Mates Rates now theres a minfield.
The best way is work out how long the job will take, Then charge x pounds per day,Pro Decs will be charging 120-160 a day.
Now depending how good a friend your mate is will depend how much you knock off your rate for a days work.
Also try to find out how easy the wallpaper comes off the wall before you give he a price, it may just fall off or it may be stuck solid.
