Petrol station window, canopy and pump clean
« on: April 01, 2006, 12:26:38 pm »
I've never quoted for this type of job before, so I need a bit of help from you guys. I've got 8 windows to clean (all about 1.5m x 1.5m) and the canopy/sign across the top of the forecourt shop (approx 1m x 15m). Everything is quite grubby.

While at the station today, the manager asked whether I'd clean the pumps. There are 6 of these; all have 3 fuel nozzles each side and are covered in the usual petrol station grime. I didn't say yes to cleaning the pumps because I wanted to consult this forum. What should i charge for the windows and canopy, and the pumps if I decide to clean them?

Obviously, this will need to be done when the forecourt is quiet, but probably out of business hours.

Cheers

Hi

Are you traditonal or wfp ?

Don't  forget the pumps plus the concrete island they are sited on will have fuel deposits on them ( don't want fuel deposits in your mops if traditional.Is the filling staion in a busy urban location?.

I used to run a filling staion on the nth circular, the pumps and islands were washed everyday with hot soapy water, then rinsed with warm water. You would not have known they had been cleaned by the next morning such was the volume of traffic going past.

As for the canopy striaght forward enough especially if wfp, but remember you will have to cordon off sections at a time to enable you to work safely. Is the manager prepared for this to happen during a normal working day because you will probably be working near pumps and these would have to be cordoned off also.

Cheers Mark.
