    depends really,

    on weather, proximity to trees, your neighbours house.

    basically if you have a white house you will not notice it needs to be repainted until you neighbour paints his house .

    so i would generally say 5-7 years to avoid it looking shabby

    I would think every three years, no longer and nearly two now with the bad weather.

    three years sounds about right

    I was pricing painters a while back and most of them were €100 per day without paint.

    Im getting 3 bed semi x 2 coats, front door, revels and plints, porch and decking done for €650 which includes paint. Im happy with that :)

    p.s i have my own bottle of oil for decking
