How much does it cost to paint a ceiling?
This is very much a “how long is a piece of string” question unfortunately. However here are some factors to consider:
Size of ceiling in square metre’s: this will affect the time to prepare and paint the entire area.
Height of ceiling: the higher the ceiling, the longer it takes to prepare and paint, as it is further to reach.
Stains and repairs: all stains and any other repairs need to be fixed before any full coats of ceiling paint can be applied.
Number of coats: dependent on whether colour changes are taking place. White on white will take least time.
Room space: An empty room is quicker to decorate than a fully furnished room, including books/bookshelves, cupboards and contents, rugs and carpets, and even lighting. All of these elements if left in place, will add to the cost.
On average as a very loose ballpark figure you are looking at approximately £75.00 to £110.00 for a 3m x 3m ceiling area.
As you can see there is a wide variation in factors to be taken into account when costing the work to be carried out, therefore it’s worth having the ceiling individually priced to get an exact costing
Obtain at least three estimates for the work, also ask to see a copy of their Public Liability insurance.
