.. Reet the time has come for me to sort the house out.
Just wondering how much it normally costs for a decorator (i know it vary alot, i just havent got a clue to start with)
I also need 4 internal doors hanging, is that a dear job?

Cant you tell i am a dumb girl

4 internal doors is a good days work for a joiner. you'd be looking at £100+

£40-£50 a door my mate charges ???? depends if the frames need changing etc. best thing to do is have a look through the yellow pages etc and get some quotes..... you must be able to find a friend of a friend of a friend who does it ??? people love "cash" jobs!

doors bout a days work,so its a days wages gotta be £130, less for cash plus doors and fitments! Decorators are usually after similar money £100 a day!

All depends on the person Id take a nice steady job like that for £100 but some people may want as much as £180

U wil only get a rough guide of the price as u may need new casings if they're in bad condition. also if they're badly outta level they may be easier replaced or the doors will take teh guy longer to hang therefore it will affect the price!

Takes just over half a day to hang a door, that is if the frame is already in.

I wouldnt personally pay for a decorator though, if you can piss, you can paint

Mr Brannen

Half a day for a door, what kind we on about here , just a normal pine or white panneled door, I hope not , a bit of nip n tuck of thew door and its about 1-2 hours per door with usual latch and handles.
Up here we charge 20-25 per door.

2 hours to swing a door max so with 4 your looking at a datys money £150 ish
and with decorators you realy do get what you pay for

Jemma
