Jeff, what happened with that private school job you were pricing up about 6 weeks ago?

The last I heard 2 weeks ago was out of the 3 quotes they had, one guy wasn't even considered because he was working on his own and from ladders, so you can imagine how long it would take him? When it would take 4 of us a good week to do with wfp.
We are £200 dearer than the other company who quoted and as yet they have not picked the winner lol the first clean isn't even due for several months yet and the last windys bill was £7,400  :o it took 2 of them 3 weeks to do and they used to miss a lot of windows, so they are no longer in the running because 2 companies priced within £200 of each other and it was less than the last windys price.

I spent days pricing and getting the presentation right, I included method statements H&S Insurance details etc, all done on very expensive top quality Solicitors paper that My daughter got from her in-laws office lol and all finished off in a nice presentation folder, so if we don't get it I'm not going to cry over it but I will let you know if we do get it.

Sounds like you have made a damm good job of the quote. Things like that can make the difference.

Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Thanks Guy's but who knows with places like this? £200 can make all the difference  :o with a quote, so time will tell  ;)
