How much to Paint the outside of a House?

Could you tell me roughly how much it would cost to repair the exterior of a small house. We are buying a period Georgian cottage but its semi detached so only three exterior walls to be painted. Many Thanks

"The costs for 3 walls only is depending on how bad the walls are. If they need to be rendered, the cost for each wall he could go to £2000 each or less if just for filling walls and paint then is £1000 each if you have wood windows he will be an extra cost of £250 per window"

"Hi Gary.
All depends on access really. Whether its ladder work/scaffold.
As a guide......if masonary only, and minor hairline cracks, no drastic colour change, around the £1200-1400 sounds about right.
Hope that helps.
Kind regards

"If it can be done from a ladder it will be cheaper as a scaffold costs more so if a ladder is ok then £1000 should do it"

"Shouldn’t cost too much (£400) but would need to set aside £1000 for repairs just in case, It would all depend on the area you live to as rates are different everywhere !"

"The cost of repairing the exterior of a small house will depend on the extent of the damage and the type of repairs needed. Without more information about the specific repairs needed, it's difficult to provide a precise estimate. However, I can provide you with a rough idea of the costs involved based on typical repairs for a small house.

For a period Georgian cottage, the cost of repairing the exterior will likely be higher due to the specialized materials and techniques required to preserve the historic character of the building. As you mentioned that it's a semi-detached house with only three exterior walls to be painted, the cost may be slightly lower than for a fully detached house, but it still depends on the size of the house and the extent of the repairs needed"

"Depends on the damage if it’s minor then the job could be completed for roughly £1100 including paint"
