WHAT'S 21 METRES..excuse me, I mean, what's 21 metres of carpet?

[John Milnes]

3 hours travel will probably exclude you from a local quote of perhaps £300.

I would never consider traveling that far unless it was for a valued custy.

[wynne jones]

I would say what Pauls says, but that's mainly because of the time out travelling.

So £600

[Garyj]

£549.00

[AshWhite]

I'd do it for a monkey.

ANYONE ELSE ........

[wynne jones]

WHY SO FAR AWAY BARRY, IS IT A REFERRAL OR SOMETHING?

[Mike Halliday]

if this was at the end of my street I'd do it for £250 and get it done in the morning, if they wanted me to start at 5.45am then I would and not charge any more

travelling 3 hours would cost them an extra £150 but I would travel for half an hour to a job for free any how so really it just an extra 2 hours

[robert meldrum]

What a stupid statement Barry.............

First of all.............not many would be prepared to spend 3 hours travel time for a job that appears to worth around £300. If you imagine the client is prepared to pay you for sitting in your van you're nuts.

I know you said T/M owners only, but most of today's T/M'ers would use a rotary on the carpets and most of the modern portables will run a T/M extremely close on upholstery cleaning............where it's more to do with products, hand tools and individual ability.

Curious to find out what's to be " revealed "

Incidentally, If I was spending the full time involved in this job actually working then I'd be looking for around £450.

[Nigel_W]

£150

SORRY ABOUT SPELLING MISTAKES FRIDAY AND BEER O CLOCK

[John Milnes]

After thinking about this, I remember doing something similar for about £420.

More carpet but a little less upholstery but probably the same time about 4 hours (but I'm quick and organised). So what they paid for was the whole pub to be cleaned over night.

It was about 1/2 half an hour away and had to start at closing time and work into the morning.

I would only do such a job if it were a recommendation and explain your travel cost and price for the job and get verification by email. The reason being, a local company will certainly undercut you because your so far away to be realistic.
