« on: April 12, 2013, 05:54:31 pm »
ive been to quote a hotel today with 600 metres of gutter rammed to the top with debris

there only typical normal house types gutters with few awkward one which may need cherry picker for

what price would you go in at for 600 metres excluding the price of cherry picker

£13 less vat for the lot. The same as your groupon deals. :)

(Joking of course, just getting it in there before someone else does)

If i had a tyre puncture on my van i personally would pull over and change the tyre.

Same as if i had staffing issues i would fix the staffing problems before quoting for 600 meters of gutter clean and clear.

Just saying  ;)

Good luck richy

Richy, how long have you been in this trade? You have a massive round, loads of staff and yet can't ever make your own decisions. Surely you must know how to quote by now?

In all honesty it would be impossible to even give a ballpark figure from your description of the job. No mention at all of access issues, height, time restrictions, payment terms etc etc.  All would need to be factored in for anybody to give an accurate price.

Sounds like you will need a small skip for the debri,but without seeing it i would say around £850

So lets say £80 for the skip and £200 for the cherry picker that he said he will probably need. So far we are down to £570 for 600m of gutter clearing. Less than £1 per metre. Sound about right?

Why would the 'price come DOWN a fair bit' because the job is BIG??? ??? :-\
If its a job worth £30p/h, if its one hour, it's £30. If its 50 hours, it surely got to be £1500?  ::)roll
