Shame you're in Staffordshire - exactly the type of work that needs to
be done to my flat. I am no good at DIY.

I can give you the number of the bloke who just painted the inside of
my house. Every room (12), two coats of emulsion and the glosswork
for 1500 nicker. Done a good job, too (apparently).

Having seen your house, that's a bargain. I need to get someone in to
paint up the staircase, it's not that I can't do it myself, but that I
really can't be bothered to.

I thought you'd done your own glosswork? In your pants, if I recall correctly.

This is true, but it was rubbish, so I got a man in to do it for me
properly.

I can (probably) give you the details of someone that can help. She's
training to start her own painting and decorating business, so she's
not that expensive (at least IMHO) and her work is better than I could
do.

If you find a good one, Paul, please let me know too. My hall, stairs,
