I shall not go much into details why but don't paint first check the proprty deeds it may contain covenants on what you can and can't do.
You must know that PVC cladding etc is low maintenance, so here are estimated costs.
PVC cladding cleaned by you we'll say £60-£75 at tops, using PVC cleaner in a pressure spray time around two days. At a guess profesional would charge around £400 to clean.
PVC painting at a guess about £80-£90 for paint and other necessary material.
profesional decorator £1000-£1500. sounds a lot but had estimate on my bungalow
Still want to paint?
