Pricing questions
About our prices
How much does a painter and decorator cost in Romiley?
Our day rate is £250 per decorator. Fixed prices start from £335 for a box bedroom, £450 for a double bedroom, £500 for a living room and £775 for a hallway, stairs and landing, including preparation and trade paint.
Do you give fixed prices or charge by the day?
We give a fixed, itemised written quote after a free visit. The day rate is only used for small extras you add during the job, and we agree those with you first.
Do your prices include paint?
Yes. Room and whole-house prices include trade-quality paint from Dulux Trade or Johnstone’s Trade. Wallpaper prices are labour only because you choose the paper.
Why might my quote differ from the guide price?
Guide prices assume a typical room in fair condition. High ceilings, heavy repairs, strong colour changes, Artex or premium paints add time and materials. Your written quote is fixed after we have seen the job.
