Hi folks
Just have to put in a quote for job tomorrow commercial job, will take I reckon 4 days & mayb few hrs... Is don't want to shot myself in foot as it can or may lead to other work but was thinking of £200 per day £1k for job (allowing for things not running smoothly) is that about right

sounds alright to me

£200 per day sounds good. It is a reasonable wage for a days work
Also, you will get faster the more you do it so after a few cleans you will get it done in 3 days (£333 per day)
AND...like you said, it could possibly lead to more work. Just make sure you take your time and do a crackin job as you will be judged on the first clean.

You could may well be undercut on that!

  thanks guys...just sometimes just before quote i get a rush of blood to head & drop price thinking im to expensive and bring it into a domestic takings of say £140 but with commercial u have to make the extra as the way i look at it you can lose it quicker than domestic due to various reasons..but i suspose you have to quote what your happy in making but with respect for your own work without worring about others..will let you know how it goes

hi james
thats my point whats the average takings a day on commercial ??
a company from experience has a cost + many overheads

Not that experienced myself but a company could  put 4 men on that and do it in a day for say around £600

I actually thought £200 was a bit cheap but as Woodsy said, it might lead onto more work and as I said earlier he will get quicker each time. That is the reason I said it sounds good.

Of course you are right James, someone might undercut that price, and some will put in a price alot higher BUT it is important to do give a price you are happy to work for. Whenever I do a quote for Commercial or Domestic I always put in a price that both myself and the customer will be happy with. That way everyone is happy.

Yes your right RO-Sheen,

i was going on past experience! where i was doing a nursing home for i think it was £45 took 2hrs was undercut to £35

The other guy had a helper and they did it in 1hr he paid his helper £5 cash in hand he earned £30 for 1hrs work ,

So not only did he earn more than me but did it in half the time!

And was a £10 cheaper than me!
