Anyone recommend a painter / decorator

Question

Can anyone recommend a good and not too expensive painter to repaint a full apartment on a specific week in June / July in Brussels?

Also any ideas on costs for a full apartment (2 bedrooms +-90m2) would be welcomed.

Many thanks in advance,

Yes, you could try to contact a painter living near Schuman who painted our bedroom in autumn 2014. Quite pleased with result. Contact GTP Peinture, 0488 029362 Owner Gilmar.

Hi,

My brother is a painter/decorator, currently working on painting offices in the Simonis area, but he should be finished this week. Prices would depend on if you provide paint/equipment and he provides labour. This is the better option as then all materials are covered by you at cost.

Just for labour, you would be looking at 20 EUR/hour for two people. So working say 7 hours a day, EUR140/day. Duration would be a bit of a guess, but having spoken to him just now, he would guess 7 days. Although he would have to come and have a quick look at the location to be more accurate.

References can also be provided. Languages spoken are English (mt), French, German, Italian (basic) and Dutch (basic).

Please feel free to call him on 0488 338 963, his name is Cian.

Thanks - is he Irish by any chance?

I don't have access to the apartment yet (sale still going through) - but I will contact him then.

Yes he is Irish. Our father was an Irishman. But neither of us have ever lived in Ireland. He's been in Brussels for at least the last 20 years.

Very cheap and.... illegal.
No vat number and no insurance as usual.
Can't stand cowboys who don't pay taxes. Legit painters who pay taxes loose jobs ( familial catastrophies ). It's time to block these illegal activities ( always Irish or East European ).
I called the authorities today. Thanks for the number...
