most of the price would be the prep work . so if you felt like your up to the task of doing the prep that will help in bringing down the cost

If i'm paying you to do a job you would have to do what i wanted or i would get someone else. plenty of trades people out there

The prep's the hard part.If you're going to go to all that effort and do the prep, you might as well paint it too.

Im thinking they can do the prep work as well.Too hard when im already working full time & dont have high ladders etc. Majority of prep work will be stripping back the wooden windows, otherwise everything else is in good repair & was washed down 2 weeks ago (except the roof - i refuse to get up there myself).

I'm sure fordkiwi27 wouldn't be interested in working for someone with short-mans disease.Prep work is 90% of the job. If it's not done right the job won't last.

When you are a professional you are expected to know your stuff and not rely on a punter for knowledge. If you start on a job then you take ownership of that job. So, you are responsible for the quality at the end of the job. If the job requires more prep then the painter would be stupid to go ahead with out that prep. fordkiwi27 is a smart operator.
To answer the question at the start, get some painters to quote, simple really.

why couldn't someone do the prep work and if it then still needs more prepping or another going over, the painter could then do that himself! A lot of the prep work is cleaning and sanding back, stripping, it's labour intensive but a lay man/woman could do at least some if not all.

I own my own painting business.I would never bother taking on a job that someone else has prepared,its start to finish or nothing,as my names on the line,plus if they are trying to safe money my doing there own preparation then there's not going to be alot of money in it anyway,as they are clearly tight! so not worth the drama :)
