What sets decorating prices in Shefford.
The Shefford homes we quote most range from tidy rentals that just need a refresh to characterful houses across South East where the walls have stories to tell. That spread is exactly why a photo-based quote beats a price list — it prices your rooms, not an average.
Surface condition
Sound walls need little more than a wash and fill; walls with blown plaster, peeling paint or stubborn paper need real prep first — and that prep is what separates an honest quote from a cheap one.
Paint and spec
The finish you choose shifts the number: a straightforward emulsion refresh costs less than a bold colour change (which needs more coats) or a specialist wipeable paint for a busy kitchen or bathroom.
Access and protection
The logistics count: a lived-in home with furniture to shift and floors to sheet takes longer than an empty property, and stairwells or high ceilings mean proper access gear.
Size and surfaces
It's not just how many rooms, but how much surface: a room full of doors, frames and detailed skirting takes far longer than four plain walls of the same size.
