Title: Driveway & patio cleaning
Post by: Tony Edwards on July 11, 2012, 08:25:23 pm
Is there a rate per square meter that most people work to for jet washing patios/drives ?

Gives me an idea how to price a job as I have a laser measure that I carry from a previous occupation

Thanks

Hard floor section of this forum Don't call them Pikeys though, they really get the hump. Not much sense of humour on that side.

we do £4.50 m2 for block paving as it needs to be re sanded and £3.50 m2 for all other surfaces, minimum charge of £100

hope that helps. we get them week in week out at that rate all spring and summer. Just quoted a £1,300 drive and patio in the road next to peter andres house.  :P

Lee, How much do you pay for sand? I have looked and its about £4 a bag with a coverage of 4 m2.  At that rate you would be re-sanding at a loss.

Last time I did a patio i used the sand from b&q as my local supplier had close to rebrand, it did a load more than 4 square meters on block paving, it give the customer the option to resand it themselves and explain how it is done or we can do it for them. I prefer them to do it if honest so I dont have to go back to it another day

Lee, Hope things are working out now that the Ban is over  ;D
Not sure how much you buy.. setup an account with local builders merchants (TP or Jewsons) should be able to source it closer £3 a bag ... haggle  ;D
