I'm all for anyone earning a living wage and all that, but just be transparent about it. If they are quoting £0.5k for materials and £2.5 labour then I might be inclined to pay, but if they say £1k materials (and I know it isn't using their calculations unless it's 3mm thick) and £2k labour I'd go elsewhere - there is a difference!
...they must go to the paint shop with the big windows - they saw them coming.

I used one of Jawel's cellulose packages from ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3706136338...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Bargain, easy to use and gave a damn good finish even though I'd never even sprayed pi$$ up a wall before.
