what did he charge prodigal??i think thats what the lady is asking. we had a guy, we paid cash in hand, and he was very good and proffesional. alas, i made the mistake of recomending him to a fussy neighbour along the rd from us.he gave her a price that was more than very fair. what did she do...stood over the poor guy all day long pointing this out and that out to him. he didnt return the next day, nor have i been able to contact him. what a loss.

decorators, like plumbers and all the other utlity tradesmen, are a law unto themselves when it comes to charging. i always avoid the guys who say.."SPECIAL RATES FOR PENSIONERS"you can expect to pay as much again as non pensioners.
age concern are a laugh, car quotes and stuff like that, are always dearer than other quotes to be had???

I have recently had my hall,stairs and landing decorated and my very small bathroom.
Price £450!
Apparently, when i did a bit of research,for a professional job,thats the norm.It seemed pretty steep to me.I would not have payed so much,it was just done all last minute as i had visitors staying.
I got the decoraters number from my local free paper.
I would though like mamacass,love to know of any recommended decorators.I need some more decorating to be done.Cheaply.

That is steep but thing is you pay it because it needs doing. I have phoned a couple of decorators out of the yellow pages for quotes but waiting for them to phone me back so if anyone can help let me know i need it doing fairly quickly and like disco diva cheaply.
