Recently got laptop and would love to find some software program with template for estimating ...... ie: list of rooms sofas etc and just add sizes with preloaded sq metre rates in!!!!!!
Not sure if such a thing exists but anything along those lines and i can get portable printer and do quotes on the spot ;)

Chris, You should be able to set up an excel spreadsheet that will do this for you. It is basically a calculator that adds up how you ask it to. As for converting it into a survey you can supply a customer I am not sure. Bet someone on here knows how to do it.

Hows that Envirodri going ;)
-
Thanks to Pete for the advice ::)
-
Sorry Pete you have already answered that on another post.
I told you, you would love it. Makes the job 10 times easier and the carpet looks 10 times better.
-
is the Envirodri similar to a rotowash?
-
Yep similar but not quite as good.
-
Did a carpet today the type of which I have cleaned before but never this dirty and guess what, Never got them this clean. How good is it on stairs! Takes a bit of getting used to on them though.
Chris, thought you had meant me ;D
-
Pete ......... email your contact details as i have good friend in St Margarets with many family members around Dover surrounds.......... River, Lydden etc.
-
Pete you cant use it in stairs, well you can but its too hard.
Just use a med nylon brush.
-
I use Minitex with nylon brush for agitating stairs .
-
I used it on my stairs and on that custys today and it was amazing. There is a technique to it but it gets those lips perfectly as the two brushes just work it over. I have also stuck a soft rubber runner on each side of the head so it does'nt chip paintwork in case it gets away from you a bit. Try it mate.
Chris. Will do.

Pete once you get used to using it you wont catch any edges at all,but in the early days carry a small tin of white touch up paint ;)

Getting back to software program with template for estimating.
When we bought a laptop we asked someone who trains people in the use of Excel to design us a spreadsheet for us to use.
We told him what we wanted and he designed a first version for us, we then had him to improve until we were happy with it
We now have 5 seperate survey forms, carpets, leather, upholstery, rugs and a commercial survey. It also works out the price for us. We are then able to save the completed survey with the clients name and a survey number.
We have used this for the last 2 years.
It was not cheap to sort out but was worth the expense.

Alltec have been using this for years and it does look very professional they have a small printer and it also has a presentation on it but I think that could be a bit anal depends on how long you can keep your customers attention span.
