How we calculate: Walls = estimated perimeter × height × 1.15 (partitions) minus openings (4.5 m² per room). Litres = m² × coats ÷ coverage. Patching on 30% of the area; re-skim on all of it if the walls are poor. Duration at 90 m² per coat per day. An indicative estimate, not a firm quote. Prices vary by area, the condition of the home, access and the contractor.
