    Hi there

    To any painters out there, an aunt of mine is looking to get her house painted soon and is wondering what it would roughly cost her for labour only

    The total area size is 550 square yards (big house)

    Ceilings?
    Walls?
    Woodwork?
    What is the condition of the walls/woodwork?

    What's most important to your aunt.

    Price, quality or service?

    Not trying to be awkward but setting expectations is important.

    Quality of work and service tbh!

    She wants it done right and if it costs that little bit extra then so be it

    If no problems your looking at €4/5 per sqm.

    Of course this is a very rough estimate. If there is access difficulties, unforseen problems, etc it will vary.
