Which rules apply in Northern Ireland?
Where owners in a block share costs, their leases or deeds set the process. We provide itemised costs per block.
What does it cost in Northern Ireland?
Our guide range for external redecoration of a house in Northern Ireland is £700–£3,250 per house. That is the UK range of £800–£3,600 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.90 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
While we have access, we check gutters, fascias and roofs and report anything that needs attention.
