Ask your QuestionI have twenty fence boards in my garden that need to be painted. I am located in London. How much will it cost me to hire a professional painter to perform this job? Also, I have a pet dog who loves to spend time in the garden? We can keep her inside when the paint job is taking place but once painting is finished, how long after should we wait before letting her back outside? She’s very curious so I’d just be worried that she might start sniffing it or taste it just after a fresh coat of paint has been added!

Regards to the price you would be looking at around £300 - £400
And I would suggest leaving the fence at least 2/3 hours to dry properly before letting the dog out on its own anyway maybe take him out on the lead so he knows what's going on as it's his house also.
Hope this helps"
