Been to price this today, need to fax quote in morning

cleaning of,

5, 2 seater sofas
5, tub stools
12, bar stools
15, tub chairs
46, dining chairs

Has to be done after 6pm
Possibility of having to wait 28days for payment
work in leisure centre for local councill
possibility of lots of extra work to come from it

The girl in the centre has told me it needs doing next week and she is only getting one quote, but it has to be cleared by her superiors.

Basically acording to her, as long as i dont take the pi$$ with price the jobs mine, and it will lead to doing all the cafes and bars in all there councill buildings. And maybey the schools and leisure centres.

So what do i charge?
And before anyone says charge by the hour, i aint got a clue how long its gonna take me.

Rec
You will have to book them in for a afternoon job as your mornings are full

You better crack on and get some staff on board RED BOY

Don't fall in the trap at going in at a low price to secure the additional work. If she works at the leisure centre she probaly has very little influence in what happens in the other premises.
Sorry to be sceptical but I have fallen foul of this on more than one occasion when I first started. She probably has a budget and thinks by saying this she may save a bit money. Or she may be totally genuine so best of luck.
Don't forget they will probably want these in use as soon as so they need to be dry for the next day. I would expect to do it over 3 evenings. I wouldn't do it as I only work office hour on carpet cleaning however I would probably quote around 750 ish.

£745 do i get the job

[stevegunn]

£740 and I'll get you a beer

Has to be done between 6 and 11pm  guys, so i can fit them in, just means im gonna have to work my normal jobs this week and then go straight there.

Wich is prob gonna kill me, but i aint gonna let a job like this go.

I need to raise £1700 deposit for my t/m by the end of the month so this will really help.

Shes in charge of the cafe and bar and has been asked to find someone to clean as the council aint got no one, i doubt she has much influence, but next time the council need someone guess whos invoice will be sitting in the drawer

I am thinking £650.

Will def have someone with me to spray and scrubb and i will extract, thinking of taking 2 people and hiring a machine for £40.
As i really wanna finish in the one night.

[calmore]

I'd say £7 to £8 per 'seat' would be reasonable.

Don't think you will get this job and there is no guarantee what so ever, of other council work on the strength of this casual job.

This is a one off, which happens occasionally with councils, whether it be, libraries, leisure centres, offices, or whatever. But they are few and far between.

You don't need to be on the providers list for these casual jobs, as they are regarded as one offs and don't come under the usual restrictive, local authority practices.

We're on two Approved Providers lists.

Good luck

Angela give the lad a break will ya-he is on a roll! Why be so downbeat all the while? We have all had chances like this and perhaps red may make it? good luck to him i say! 

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Tell them that there is over a £1k of work but you will do it for £737 (like the not so round figure) as to get the work for next time.
