[Diamond Pool Finishers]

[dave l and l]

depends where you are, and how good they are
foe a decent painter 120 is the going rate, 150 for some

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Thanks mate, they were asking 225 for two of them for the day, which seems fair to me...lol

You can get new upvc facias and new door for £550.
I'd be arsed for that and I hate the smell of paint!
Painting is like tiling - anyone can do it.

Wrong side of the bed again TJ?

Price seems fair enough Dave, but it all depends on how good the job is as we know. If it starts peeling next winter then your stuffed and wasted your money, you know its in the prep.

You know the saying, 'buy cheap pay twice'

Haha, You should go on the the decorators forum not a tiling forum, you have been warned. :sofahide:

upvc facia boards dave? I don't even think they are supposed to be painted was watching a programme before and someone had painted onto upvc and it was pealing, maybe ask them if they can do you guttering too if you have wooden facias then see what they say about any special paint that needs using.

I know john, but he didn't mention if they are timber either bud

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

They are wood T i'am not a donkey !!! lol, but i also could replace with UPVC as another low maintaining way foward

Why would he want them painted if they were made out of a material not suitable for painting :smilewinkgrin:

PVC is the way to go.

 

[lizzardtong]

PVC is the way to go.

yes but then which way to go replace or overclad

 

[prceramics]

replace mate unless asbestos soffits that will cost a fortune to remove, me and my mate do a few of these quite easy compared with tiling buddy with scafolding basicly rip off and nail the upvc ones on with poly pins the soffit fits into the groove of the facia then put your gutter up with aid of a chalk line to get the fall, peice of cake

we charged 2x men 2x days to do the whole house including garage

 

[lizzardtong]

add felt support tray and vents.

 

[prceramics]
