Title: Help - Small price quote.
Post by: MWC on August 16, 2012, 04:02:56 pm
Could you please give me an idea of what to quote for this.

1st time will be in and out, minor builders clean as they are not too bad and then a price to clean the outsides every 2 month?

Any ideas on what to do with the metal grating in the way on the back?

I would like a price to win this one and not a price to show i aint bothered.

Cheers.

40 inside and out builders clean, then 15-20 bi monthly outside

Extreme brush should fit through the railings,
& £20 bi-monthly looks the right price to me

I would go in at £20 for th outside

I always charge 1.5x the out for the in as a rule so on this one I would go in at £50 out and in, £20 out reguular (whatever the freq.).

I know its a little more than the others have said but so far I have found that on glass that size the insides are going to be a pain in the a$$.

First clean / builders clean? Get a cheap, hard vikan brush so im told, it makes scrubbing easier...

Ok. From the picture, it looked as though you couldn't get to the back easily.

I would definitely say £30 for regular monthly cleaning of externals, but I only charge 1.5x for insides so £75 total.
