Okay, so we’re finally taking the plunge and getting our whole house painted. It's a three-bedroom semi, and it’s been… well, let's just say it's been a while since it last saw a fresh coat of paint. I'm trying to get a handle on how much we should realistically budget for the project. I have absolutely no clue where to even start! Are we talking a couple of thousand, or significantly more? This estimate needs to account for both the materials and also the labour. Anyone who has had a similar-sized house painted recently, I'd love to hear your experiences and get a ballpark figure.

Budgeting for painting can be tricky, it really depends on so many factors! When I was planning the painting for my place, I found that the estimates from painters and decorators North London really varied depending on the prep work needed. I had a few friends recommend different companies, and ultimately went with LGC Decorators last year for our similar sized three-bedroom house. We ended up paying around £3500, but that included some minor plastering repairs and using pretty high-end paint. Getting a few different quotes is essential to get a good feel for the average cost in your area, so you can then choose what’s the best option based on your specific needs.
