In Iron Acton and the wider South Gloucestershire area, the average we quote is around £700–£950 for a standard 3-bed semi, including ceilings, walls, woodwork, spindles and the stairwell. The big variables are ceiling height over the stairwell, the condition of existing woodwork and whether spindles need stripping or just a refresh.
