Got asked to quote for these 16 flats, the factor is wanting them cleaned every month, the pics just show 1 block (4 flats) there is another 3 identical blocks.... How much would you quote?
-
£30 a block?
-
Hmmmm, I was thinking a bit more myself, that's quite cheap.....they look a lot bigger in reality with a few windy's on the gable ends too.....
-
Can you give them a price per flat?
-
15-16 per flat so like 60.00 per block
-
Yeah, there wanting a price per flat, access through the flat to clean the balcony windys, if no ones home prob just get the ladder oot....
-
Thought you had retired ??? Or did you miss the action that much and decided to come back ;D
-
I'd quote 112 for the for buildings, £32 per block.
-
As its all in one place so no travelling id say to secure it go in around £140 as i couldnt see you getting £15 a flat(£240 the lot), if it was just a couple then yer but not the lot.
-
Thanks for the replies guys....Yeah, lets say I stil 'manage' my round with a little help from a few guys ;) ....so im still always on the lookout for new work.....
Still working 'fulltime' in glasgow central....best of both world I think..... ;D
-
If you have other jobs nearby try go in as low as you can, i know round me commercial is at rock bottom, i am always too expensive at the minute, i am happier earning more on residential! Theres just too much competition, and all they want is cheapest quote :(
-
50quid a block no less. pain in the arse if they are in/not in to do balc door. bite your hand off ;)
-
£4 - £5 per flat
-
I must have misunderstood something here. Is this job trad or WFP? Is this a silly question if I was UK based? ???
-
£160 the lot ,
access would concern me to balcony ones are you doing wfp or trad ?
-
I was thinking in terms of £8 per custy which is £32 per block times four blocks £128 then add £12 to round it off to £140 for all the entrances
-
i would do all four blocks for £80 +vat at most there is only three hours work but could probably be done in less.
-
Trevor,
Wow £80 that sounds way to cheap to me

may be it is just the area i live but that would be a realistic price round here, i have cleaned windows for 26 years have a pretty large firm doing lots of commercial work and we still get undercut regularly at these prices.

Commercial seems to be going the same way as contract cleaning from what i have experienced lately!! people quoting daft and employing someone on min wage to do it and turn a few quid profit!! It defintitely isnt the big money you would expect, seems more profitable to get good domestic work to me!! All the commercials ive quoted i have quoted fairly and not had a sniff of any of them - been undercut by ALOT!!
Im not focusing on the commercial as much now, i think unless you get in with council or housing association or similar its hard to get good money, or maybe its just the few ive had??

i think you are right we lost a large job last summer that we had done for six years without any complaints, it was underpriced when we did it but helped keep staff employed for when good one off work came up, we lost the job on price alone and was told this at the time.

Well, to my surprise, a letter has just landed on my door mat to confirm that my quote has been accepted! :o
First clean next month...
Lets say Mr Peafield was the closest......
-
sams got it.
we always charge a standard £10.00 per flat in this situation, so £160.00
dont sell yourself short. thnk about it, for each person in those flats £10.00 a month is nothing.
-
I would have said £40 a block. maybe £150 all in.
-
£120.00. for all four blocks excluding the patio doors on each balcony. If access can be arranged through each flat then £2.00 per patio door.
This would be considered a reasonable price and should ensure you get the job.
-
£60 for the 16 flats
-
Well 2 of us managed to clean them all in 2hrs, all cleaned traditional........quite happy at that.....
-
was you 2 months late in cleaning it then?
-
Aye was delayed due to the painters......
