How much should you spend?
The price range for hiring a painter and decorator is predominantly determined by the size of the surface for instance bedrooms or internal doors to be painted. Note the following estimate breakdown:
For a small room like a bathroom (up to 100-125 square feet), expect to pay between £225 and £475.
A medium-sized room like a bedroom (around 100-200 square feet) may cost anywhere from £300 to £900.
Larger rooms such as a living room (over 175 to 250 square feet) could range from £500 to over £1,400.
Please note that these estimates exclude preparation costs, which can significantly impact the overall quote. For example, painting a 3m x 4m room, including ceiling work and preparation of existing surfaces, internal walls, architraves, skirting boards, and door linings, might cost around £800. A slightly smaller room (3m x 3m) with similar prep work could cost about £800. The final cost is therefore subject to complexity as much as it is based on surface measurement.
Before hiring anyone for any type of work especially in London, it is very prudent to request a direct visit, in order for the worker to view the work and to facilitate direct communication. This will also assist you to engage in direct communication and a better understanding the overall work required for the project. If you are looking for a London local painter decorator you should contact PAINTJOBS.
