bus stop shelter contract
« on: April 08, 2015, 06:27:23 pm »
been asked to quote about 400 bus stop shelter to be cleaned and its not something ive done before and wondered if anyone on here has any experience,  theyre asking how many do i think i could do a day and want me to give them a price per stop.
anyone with experience on these, i reckon no more than 10-15 mins max to clean the whole bus stop shelter inc the roof but not sure as its not something ive done before?

They do all the ones by me aswell.

They get cleaned properly too, there's no way they are doing them in 15 minutes, you could be miles out there.

Clear channel clean most of the bus shelters across the country.
I am fairly sure they only clean the ones with advertising boards attached as clear channel are a media and advertising company not a cleaning company .

Pull up to one in your van.
Get out then clean it free of charge.
Time yourself to see how long it took you do a good job then drive away.

And Liverpool,
it's depending on how much they paying.
A few years back I was on with William hill, £8.50 a shop regardless if size, I was doing between 4-6 a hour single man or 6-7 a hour with 2 in a van. If I had 2 vans out separately I would aim for 30 each single man, I was covering between 300-400 shops, twice monthly, it's finding a balance with costs and profit.
If you think you can do them and make a profit look into it,
I have seen them 
They pressure wash them out
Wipe down posts
Squeegee glass were required
It's done any old way.
I reckon there not paying £5 each.

I've been doing bus shelters for around 10 years.
If you do them at times when there's a lot of people around you'll need to put out loads of barriers and cones etc. A shelter can take anything between 20 to 60 mins to do. It's not the big earner that you might think - especially in a rural area when traveling times between shelters is a problem.

Don't forget....town/city centre bus stops are often used as toilets with the stench of pi$$...puke piles and even the  log-of-turd.

could you not fit flood lights to your van and work late evening and very early morning when roads are clear and no pedestrians make job quicker and easier and safer
