[dave l and l]

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.
