hi ronnie give us some more info mate
is it a 1 off?
are you wfp?

what i would do is work out how long its going to take, and then work out how much you want to earn per hr.

5 hrs @ £30 hr = £150  or what you think
id add 20% on top just  incase  :)

hope that helps

its done 8 times a year by wfp its about 45ft at its highist point i think the the last three pics have to be done b4 8.30 am and is about 30 ft but access is not great so might have to be on  the walkway behind so about 35 ft.

There is also about a hours travelling.

The pics on here  dont do the builings justice, its a lot of work. The horizontal frames are going to be a pain possible causing drips so the panes need doing in rows and left a bit to drip. Maybe need two sizes of brushes 12" for the horizontals an a bigger one for the large areas. Going to need a lot of water. maybe it could be split up over a couple of weeks with interim payments.

I thought the frames would cause problems i was going to take that route of going allthe way across.

i have 900lt which i think will be plenty.

Ronnie about £300 is about right . Quantum does similar so should follow that lead. About £500 int ext. 3 blokes a short day.

Hope that helps

300 for outside but 500 for both inside and outside? in my experience insides take longer.

but thanks for the info.

Hi Ronnie

The insides take longer but are usually charged at a lower rate. This is because there are no special equipment requirements. Hence, you are quoting against the office cleaners who tend to be cheap (£10/hr or less). You will be quicker than them (twice as fast) This means that the most you could charge would be £20/Hr. The exteriors however may be £30/Hr (£10/Hr for your equipment and £20/Hr for labour).

Then you have to decide how much travelling time , paperwork and hassle ("Admin costs" as I like to call them) is involved and add that to your total.

Finally, decide how much you want the work and adjust your prices up or down accordingly.

PS. I think you are a bit cheap at £30 for the 45ft stuff. Your staff will need extra time for breaks at that height. I would recommend charging an extra 25% for the stuff at that height.

Regards

Steve

Had a look at the photos.

200min for one man team. 120-130min for a two man team.

This roughly translates to £110-£120 for the exteriors.
£90 for the interiors
+ travel time for each visit

Hope you get the job.
