Smile Painters/Decorators

Anyone SOR that could give me a quote for painting my living room (quite small but dont have exact measurements), kitchen (very small), two small bedrooms and my hallway.

Sorry I cant be more precise but if anyone can recommend someone I can contact or can help me - send me a PM.

Time I made this little place 'my own' but it will depend on cost.

We are crap at painting and husband cant do anything physical like that. Also I think we need an expert opinion on the state of the walls.

I know your husband is still recovering from his accident but do think about a painting party. We've done nearly all of our house that way and it's good fun [until you have to return the favour.....]

We wanted to, until we peeled off some wallpaper and saw some of the worst plastering I have ever seen to the point we need a bit of an expert opinion on it rather than paint over it.

actually I should have a paving party as well and get my garden paved.

Don't know anyone SOR, but SJ Olfdield's husband is a painter & decorator. We were thinking of getting hold of him to do our place but I'm too cheap to pay anyone if I can do it myself. I'm spending my weekends stoned on the fumes from oil based primer.

Maggys husband is a painter and a bloody good one at that. He has done quite a bit of my house. Not sure if he travels down your way but I have no hesitation recommending him. Drop Maggy a PM.
