Hello guys
Iam a newbie to to this forum, and have just become a member of ncca, any tips out there for pricing stairs and landings ,many thanks ???
-
Hi Mark
I price all my jobs by the Sq M. I count each stair as 1 Sq M. This covers the extra work involved in cleaning stairs using hand tool etc.
Hope this helps...
-
Many thanks jacko
I charge charge by the sq m, but have just been guessing on stairs
-
H/S/L as a one off £47.00, if done while doing other work inhouse £35.00. 8) 8) 8)
-
£2.50 a step and your normal area price for the rest :)

thats spooky just been to look at a job, and been pondering this one.
so any advice,
spoke to a friend and they are saying about £1 per step and riser, for water extraction.
the job i'm looking at is 50 flights of 13 steps and then all the landings, and walkways, about 5000sq ft of that. them there are nosings on the stairs aswell.
these are carpet tiled areas non bitumous, and needs to be done quarterly.
any thoughts
mike, what system are using for £2.50 a step please??
regards

An average flight of stairs has 13 steps x £2.50 equals £32 the landing is about 1m x 2m so about £6 the hallway is 1m X 3m so £9
32+ 6+9 = £47 about right for a Hall, stair & landing ;)

You weren’t in EC1 today by any chance? Just got back from there measuring up.
Mark
I will go a long with John on this but a bit dearer than me £2 but they can afford it up there. Care should be taken what is normal to us is also normal to certain potential customers landings BAA would be jealous, if you get my drift, this is domestic.

hello martin
what are you thinking of charging then,and are you taking other work with the same customer into consideration?
-
Yes, I have noticed that most flights of stairs have thirteen steps. Why is that?
-
mark,
havent quite worked it out yet, as things got overtaken this evening, have ended up doing a 120 mile round trip to survey an urgent job.
which i will publish when i've doen the work.

More like love the money but I can relate to that! My stair well isn’t that bad as most use the lift offices defiantly lm system. Need to get 3 quotes plus mine wonder who will get it!

Houses must be larger up north ;D
The average flight is twelve stairs down my way, but the standard is 10-14 stairs depending on building style.
Average price per standard size stair (domestic) £2-2.50

Tiled stairs and landings I would clean using Texatherm
-
Of course houses are built BIGGER upt'north it's cos wi built like Brick Sh*t houses ourselves, we play the Proper game of Rugby up here :-* :-* :-*

Hi Martin
On commercial you will be very lucky if get anything over £1.35 a stair.
-
thats a relief,
as i have subimtted the quote, and then if we went for texatherm we would still be ok with the pricing

I havent done much carpet cleaning yet, in cornwall anyway but i done two lots of stairs and landing and done quite a few whilst in dorset always charged £75 and no ones ever complained or queried the price. Paul (Neil doesnt it for a tenner)

Hi Mark
I charge £45.00 up to 20yd2 on HSL and then use your imagination if it is bigger. For a large commercial job like the one that has been mentioned you are probably quoting against the world and his mother so personally I would work on £30.00 per hour per operator and you should get the job. I have just picked up two jobs in a week worth £1600 on that basis. Good luck.
-
ahh
we are not quoting against anyone, we did a site survey and took photos, the client is receiving an absolutely horrendous level of service.
and they do give us a bad reputation.
we do have a seceret weapon as the company im partnered with is national multi million pound outfit, and our services are a great add on for them.
believe me there is so much business out there for everybody.

I charge £57ish for an average ??? but this is over the phone as a guide line but of late have been around £65-70 on most detached houses.
Shaun

Generally over the phone £40 to £50, unless its bigger than average.
Dave

Hi,
£55 - £75 standard over phone
Cheers,

Same as most of you guys I charge between £40 and £50 depending if the hall and landing are included.
Got a leaflet through the door last night, local company offering to do H/S/L & living room for only £50. Cheeky git, my sign written van was parked on the driveway at the time >:(
