Hi Malcolm. I would expect a tradesman to charge about £150 a day take into account how long you would take, a professional decorator would be much quicker . So on what you're asking would be 5 or 6 days £750 - £900 Hope this helps .

Hello Melcolm, the going rate varies depending on your location. My basic rate for local jobs is £125/day I would add some travel costs if over 10 miles away. In London for example you would expect to pay £150 or more per day. On the other hand if you're getting quotes then you'll be given a price for the job to be completed. Hope that helps
