The cost that you will be charged to paint a room all depends on who you hire to do the work, but I will endeavor to give you a reasonable Idea.
Average cost in London.
Paint ceiling 2 coats of white emulsion.
Paint walls 2 coats of wall color.
Undercoat and gloss all woodwork in room.
Room Sizes (L/W/H Metres).
Average Labor only Cost by a professional painter.
3x3x3=450 pounds
4x5x3=600 pounds
4x6x3.5=875 pounds
Add to the above the cost of materials, which I can only estimate at about
150 pounds a room depending on size. The much cheaper option if you are at all handy is to put on some overalls and do it yourself!! saving the labor cost which accounts for about 80-90% of the price.Cost of a Painter
You can learn about painting estimating . I first got started when I got books out of the local library and I soon discovered why I was not making enough money. I was doing painting jobs for less than i was getting for them! It was a wake-up call.
Exterior painting usually has a lot of weather damage, especially if it has not been painted for a few years. Get up a ladder and check all the woodwork for rot. Pay a lot of attention to the sashes. Interiors are different with not much prep work needed before painting can commence.

How about a painters professional appearance? Is the painting contractor clean looking? clients hire workmen on emotion. Do they like us? If so, then why?

When Three painters are invited to estimate for a house decorating job, and all three estimates are almost the same. What is the most likely thing that the client bases his or her choice on? Is it their first impression of the contractor, the winner may seem more professional, friendly without being pushy or a clearly defined estimate.
Every painting job is different, but some painting contractors new to the industry think there must be some fantastic software that they can use and bingo!! plug it in and they will always win the job, with a great estimate regardless of them knowing absolutely nothing about the estimating process.Cost of a Painter
