Title: Asked to do a Quote for a small school. What do I need?
Post by: [GQC] Tim on November 28, 2006, 09:20:14 pm
I was asked to quote a school, was all ground floor, and not too big, quoted £65

I do have my customer contract form, and also a Health and Safety statement...is there anything else I should show/get/know? :)

Thanks!

A risk assessment I would imagine. Speak to the person responsible for health and safety at the school to see what they require.

Oh dear, that sounds nasty, any idea's? Or do you maybe have an outline that I can edit for myself?

Where do I learn how to write one anyway, and what should it contain?

I've yet to do it myself, although I was told an easy way to do it is to print a standard form with questions and check boxes and then simply to fill in the details and tick the boxes for each customer.

Thanks for the link, if you don't mind I'll have a look at it tomorrow, absolutely knackered this evening.

i clean a primary school,but before i clean it next time they tell me they are required by health and safety to request from me a method of statement of how i manage working at hights off ladders,and i must have a certificate for ladder training.

thing is im wfp and dont go up ladders,but they say i still cant re-clean the school without the above  ???.so its goodbye school,get someone else

if you can get £65 for ground floor school you done well,the school that want the above is two story and quite a big place my 25ft pole only just long enough,but only get £80.i think im best rid
