First time I've been to quote on a large quantity of chairs so just looking for some advice for the following please : what price per chair ?

80 x std chairs ( seat base and half back )

10 x high back computer chairs

10 x tub chairs

All cream and pretty grubby 

How long with a porty should I allow ? all chairs will be in one area

Thanks

I've only done a batch of chairs once.
Did 70 seat and half back, these were the orange ones you
see a lot.
I charged £70 and it wasn't enough, they take longer than
you think.
It was last summer and I think it took me about 4 hours and
some of them looked not much better, although customer was
happy (Muslim welfare centre at that)

A pound a chair!?? 

[JandS]

Thought about 2 minutes a chair   WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
As a matter of interest what would you charge.

John

[Matt Seymour]

I'd charge more than a pound a chair.

As has already been said they take a lot longer than you might think.

I did just 6 dining chairs the other day (although they were completely upholstered from top to bottom) and it took forever!

You will find you slow down as each chair is done so just because 1 chair takes you 4 mins doesnt mean the rest will mate.

And boy is it boring

Used to do a well know comedy club. 350 chairs/stools at a time. £1.25 chairs/75p stools. Killer of a job. They've changed to vinyl now, bit of a relief actually!

Would the 'Muslim welfare centre' want to pay more than a quid a chair?

Boll***s would they!

[Matt Seymour]

In fact, I hate cleaning chairs/upholstery full stop!

[kinder clean]

I was thinking:

£2.50 per std chair

£5.00 per high back computer chair

£9.50 per tub seat

Am I far out at that ?

Paul

[Mike Halliday]

on your list

80 @ 3 mins

10 @ 4mins

10  @ 6 mins

this is 1 man, vac-prespray-scrub-extract.

so take the tub chairs..... if you want £60/hr then each chair must cost £10.

you can do the maths on the other items,

[Simon Gerrard]

Paul,
You're not far out with those prices, perhaps a touch more depending on much you want the job.

Mike

10 chairs @ £10 a chair @ 6 mins a chair is £100 per hour.

John

[Steve. Taylor]

Me i would want £300 to £350 tresils or table to place them on if not a new back oh and a new wrist

[Mike Halliday]

Mike

10 chairs @ £10 a chair @ 6 mins a chair is £100 per hour.

John

EVEN BETTER!!!!!! a £100 an hour

don't we all earn that anyhow

[Steve. Taylor]

Mike yeah if your being bent over it but not for cleaning it

[Joe H]

I was thinking:
£2.50 per std chair
£5.00 per high back computer chair
£9.50 per tub seat
Am I far out at that ?
Paul

£4 std chair
£7 high back
£15 tub seat

Take a young 18year old with you to help do the vac, prespray and agitation, and moving about of chairs. Pay him £5 per hour.
It will take longer then you think and you will be brain dead at the end of it.

[Gary Humphreys]

Minimum £5 a chair Prob double at £10 for high backs> Hard work comes at a cost so you shouldnt work for nothing just to fill your diary.

Paul if you are doing them on a wooden floor make sure you do them on dust sheets to protect the floor . The floor does tend to get soaked .
