    Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good, reliable painter in cork city? Also any idea of price for two coats to an average sitting room? Thanks

    Hi, I've used a Polish guy named Bart several times. He is very good and very reasonable. He normally paints in the evenings or the weekend as he has a day job. I would recommend him to anyone. His English isn't great so he prefers if you text. Text him the details on 0894405900

    Wouldn't be a fan of using strangers for "foxers"

    I've used David Barry from Coachford (most of his staff from the city) a few times good prices and great finish allways

    I've only used him for internal walls, ceilings etc so I'm not sure, yes he is reasonable.

    We hired John Cooney to paint a lot of our house when we moved in... living room, kitchen, dining, sunroom, hall (incl. high wall at stairs) and main bedroom. He also did all the pine in the house (doors, windows sills & skirting board), painting it white. Very tidy work and a gent to deal with. We had 2 people recommend him to us too. I can't remember exactly but it was around €1600-1700 for 8 days work including the paint. He's based out in Midleton but he probably works in the city too. He's in high demand though so you may have to wait a bit (we waited just shy of 2 months to get him in). I can PM you his number if you want.
