School Quote, how wrong can you be.

Google b301QJ and then zoom in on all four buildings.



I did not do any frame close ups but they are metal with flacking paint. When I was there I rubbed the palm of my hand over them and it left the chalky mark that normally gives you the milky rinse.
Have not been done for at least 6 years although the maintenance guy could not remember the last time
Highest would be 60' some flat roof work/access
Some steep grass banks and some overhead telephone/electrical cables that had to be taken into account.

I know its not easy, but what sort of figure first comes to mind as a one off, external only
I fooked up badly.

Nothing >:(

Jobs like that as one offs every few years are a p-take.

I once helped out on Minster College on Sheppey - every seagull for the previous ten years had used it as a loo, over and over again.

Almost impossible to know before hand how long it's going to take, and how much back-breaking work will be involved.

Go get some decent work instead.

Or book it and then sub it out ;D

@ Cliff perkins, thanks for the start.
Colin fair after looking at the pics.
Ian, you are right, although I did price it.

I saw it as £3200 and was told I was three times the price of who won it.
Whether that's true or not or whether my standard was too high, thus me thinking it would take longer, I will never know.
What I do know is the winner is welcome to it and I will go back to my mainly domestic work.
Bloody hard work getting this commercial right aint it.
