Hi,
I've recently been made redundant from my job and am thinking of switching to something completely different. I've always actually liked painting and decorating my own home so ws thinking of trying to make a business out of it. A couple of people have already asked me to do some painting in their homes (since I have plenty of free time!) and I may take them up on it. However, I have no idea what to charge them - do 'professional' painters have any sort of scale i.e. so much per square meter or per room or on how long it will take? Or do they simply charge anything they want??
Also, are there any short-term courses available that might show me the proper methods? I've seen a few courses that run into years and they're not for me!
TIA for any info.
Thanks,
Bobjim
