When we got our villa 3 years ago we did our own hall stairs landing (3 storys). It killed us.
Now we have everything done my Memet. He is brilliant clean and quick.
He did our outside for less than £200, quite a bit less. He has also done lounge kitchen and bedrooms.
He uses good quality paint better than the DIY shop.
He is coming to do both sides of our internal doors and woodwork (8 doors etc) in June for 350 TL.
Not worth getting the brushes out ourselves.
Dont no his number as a friend always contacts him for us but I think he goes in Cafe Pazar near Sunday market.
I'm sure someone will know there.
Dont give him too much work though or he wont have time for ours.

Do you know anywhere that sells external paint for upstairs?

If you mean Mehmet (small blonde guy) That used to work for Engin, Fethiye Property Services.  We found Mehmet really good and he did a lot of work for us.  We arranged for him to paint the outside of the house last month.  I was speaking to Engin and mentioned this and he told me Mehmet now works in a shop.  He gave up his business because of a skin condition on his hands eczema, we think.   So, Engin has arranged the house painting for us.

Here's a question for you decorators:

Our house has the old style wooden shutters which are in need of a good dip and paint. Does anyone know the bast place/person (near Koca Calis would be good).

Cheers

Our Mehmet is quite tall with dark hair so not the same.
He has been doing work on quite a few  new complexs lately.
Hard to get as he is always busy but if he says he will do it he wontlet you down

There would need to be a dip and strip place with a tank and I have a feeling there is not much call for this in the Fethiye area.   I used to use a place near me in Scotland, to dip and strip pine kists (trunks) and cabinets.   I then started to do some smaller pieces myself.  It's easy to do if you get some nitromors and apply it, the paint comes off very easily.  Then you have to let it dry, sand it down and smooth it off and paint or stain it.  I once did an oak hall stand that came out really well.  However, there are some woods that could no be tanked or applied with stripper as some woods, will warp.   I realise you may not want to do this on your holidays, but perhaps you could get a handyman to do it for you?  Good luck.
