I've got 80 sq M of blacktop to remove.

How much do you reckon (please)?

[derek west]

easy access, no furniture to move, £160

[garry22]

Access OK but furniture to move.

Client will replace if it cannot be cleaned.

my instinct is telling me £ 200+

Gary

You beat me to it

What ever price we come up with? (2.5 and that’s cheap and tax deductable) would that also include the gum underneath it?

[Griffus]

£200 + VAT if applicable, but be ready to be knocked down slightly, especially if it's an Indian Restaurant.

If dead set on £200 go in at £240. You might be lucky, especially if you've worked for them before.

Thanks everyone,

It's not an Indian restaurant but there is a lot of gum (one bit was hidden until I did my test patch!).

I had forgotten the "delights" of cleaning really dirty carpets.

For what it's worth, my figures came to just over £ 230. If I do not get it, it is not the end of the world.

[Phillip Mold]

Did one today, 62m2, charged £140, but asked for £165 before bargaining, still not sure I would want to do it again though!

[Jim_77]

£280+vat, like it or lump it no bargaining.

A test clean would probably seal the deal so if you've already done that and produce a little patch of miracle you can name your price

[Colin Day]

If I'm not keen on a job [like the one described] I'll try to price myself out, but to a point where if they say go ahead, it's worth my while...

So, I'd go with Jim's quote....

[derek west]

black top carpets are what cleaning is all about IMO, love em, the dirtier the better. dirty carpets = amazing results= even happier customers=more referal work.

well thats the theory anyhoo

It will be the chewing gum that will take a while to remove if there is lots of it.
