Hello Guys

30,000 sq.ft. commercial office space, Birmingham City Centre, they want it deep clean, not bonnet, what's an average price per square foot?  I am using a custom built portable.

[williamx]

£1000 but might go down to £850

[Goldfinch PCS]

come on now, £1000 per square foot? I am a carpet cleaner just never bothered with the commercial side.

[williamx]

£1000 for the lot

Hi Guys

There is no definitive answer.

I would go with anything from 3000 - 6000 depending on soiling, who it was, my relationship with them etc.

Cheers

My commercial price is £1.90 a Square metre.
So £5297.39 , i would then offer a discount for
being in excess of 1500 SqM. So would round
down to £5000.
This is my usual price, and never varies.
Yet to be turned down on commercial jobs.

Pure hydro cleaners, your website quotes prices
very similar to mine, so how you can possibly come
up with a figure of £1000, which is 3.33p sqft baffles me.

About £4880.75 no vat plus the hire of a bog standard Polaris or supernova, would need to see job for logistics so the price could rise. Two days work profit 4k not bad now I know why I like commercial.

I have quoted on jobs like this in the past, yet I have priced them at 50p per sq yard, and I have been under-cut.

The prices on my web site are mainly for the domestic and light business market, but with a job like this which can be cleaned in 2 days then a daily rate would be a better figure to work with imo, and an extra £1000 is most welcome.

I have come across companies that go down to 25p per sq yard, and these are restuarant cleans

If Pure Hydro's quote is in fact for extraction cleaning, then if I were you Golfinch PCS, I would quote the customer £3500 and sub the work out... everyone's a winner!

What is it in sq m?
About 2,850?
2 days work with a porty, I dont think so.
7 days maybe 8 @ 8 hours a day.
£2 a sq m = £5700 = approx £4500 profit over 8 days = £562 per day = £70 an hour which is after tax.
1425 sq m a day          bet even with a TM you wouldn't do it in 2 days.

2787.091 square metres...  ish 

[Joe H]

honestly, a job that size I would not wanting to do by myself, no even with TM. Soul destroying.

also, I lost a 2000sq yd quote in at £1.2 per sq yd
so at that rate even £3500 would be looking dodgy.

All depends who is going for it and what price they put in.

[JandS]

Would be soul destroying as you would have to do it out of hours on your own.
Unless it's empty but you would still be on your own.

Of course you lost that job at 1.20 sq M Joe.
Most commercials just won't pay that.

What would you go in at ?

[Glynn]

It would have to be under £1 p/m Joe. Don't forget you can eat this work with a Truckmount.
