How much?!!

We LOVE  hearing from our customers all year round, both old and new, and time after time, we get asked the following questions…….

“I want my house painted! How much?”

“how much would it cost to paint my house?”

“What do you charge for painting a factory?”

“How much do terraced houses cost to paint?”

Hi NPA, I have a house, a semi detached house in Liverpool that I have owned for the past 10 years. In that time we have to have it painted 6 times, five times by a local painter and decorator until he retired recently and then the final time I bought some good quality masonry paint from B and Q, although i THOUGHT it was good anyway (!) and painted it myself and we’re embarrassed to say it looks awful!!!!!!!!

Without going into massive detail, how much would it cost to paint my house?

Hi and thank you for your email today. Well, you may have guessed that we cannot give an exact price as to be honest we have to see the house in question as there are lots of different factors related to pricing up a house that needs painting. They are typically……………..

• The size of the exterior wall area to be painted (which can differ from the actual size of the house, for example a house may have large areas of cladding or windows etc, and despite it being a large property, the actual area of wall may not be that large.)
• The present condition of the house, or at least the condition of whatever exterior wall covering (if any) is currently on the outside of the house: Are there cracks, hollow or loose render, bald or loose pebbledash or tyrolean, spalled bricks, loose stones and a host of other things.
• Damp. If the house you want a price for, has damp, this also needs to be sorted before we can paint it. There are two types of damp in houses but instead of repeating myself (!), here’s a link to an article that explains about damp in the home. DAMP IN HOMES.
• Access to the house: Is the property very tall? Is it up several flights of stairs? Is it on a narrow lane where we need to apply to your council to close the road? This is also a factor, i.e., how easy is it for us to work on your house?
• Additional work: Many homeowners are suprised that we can do additional work to our normal rendering and painting service, such as fitting UPVC replacement windows, installing a new door, fixing your roof for example………………

…………..so as you can see there are many things we have to consider in priving up your house to be painted etc, but if you call us on 0800 970 4928 or fill out our simple and confidential client enquiry form, we are happy to discuss your requirements and give you a price to have your house painted, so without further ado, we will wait for you to contact us and supply more details and then a surveyor will visit your house, measure up and survey and give you a competitive price to have your house painted!

I hope that is of some help
