Decorating costs

What might your decorating cost?

A guide price helps you decide whether a project is in reach. These are starting estimates; your written quote will reflect the size, condition and surfaces you want me to decorate.

Room redecoration

Typically from £650

A small room in good condition. The room size, repairs and agreed woodwork affect the final price.

Hall, stairs & landing

Typically from £1,400

A compact hall and staircase. Extra storeys, awkward access and detailed woodwork add work.

Exterior masonry

Typically from £1,300

A small elevation in good condition. Preparation, access and the area to cover affect the quote.

I put the time into preparation so the finish lasts — you don’t want to be doing it all again in a couple of years.

What might your project cost?

Choose the space, size and condition for a starting estimate. You can see the price without leaving your contact details.

You can use the starting prices alongside this guide, or ask me about your project. The calculator will appear here when it’s ready.

Prices include labour, paint and materials. No VAT is added — Abermaw Decorating is not VAT registered.

This is a starting estimate. I’ll confirm the work and price after seeing the property.

What changes the price?

The surfaces

Stripping, filling, repairs and previous coatings all affect how much preparation is needed.

The work included

Walls alone are a different job from walls, ceilings, doors and detailed woodwork. The proposal makes that clear.

Access and timing

Height, furniture, the way the property is used and suitable weather can affect the plan.

Before you decide

What will the quote include?

The areas and surfaces, preparation, materials, agreed work and price. You’ll have it in writing so you can see what you’re buying.

Do prices include paint and VAT?

Guide prices include labour, paint and materials. No VAT is added because Abermaw Decorating is not VAT registered. Your written quote will confirm the products and work included.

Can I tell you my budget?

Yes. It helps me explain what is realistic and whether doing the work in stages would make sense.

Why might another quote be different?

Check that both cover the same preparation, surfaces, materials and access. If something is unclear in my proposal, ask and I’ll explain it.

What if the work changes?

I’ll talk it through with you and agree any extra work and its price before going ahead.
