Hello guys
Iam a newbie to to this forum, and have just become a member of ncca, any tips out there for pricing stairs and landings ,many thanks

[jacko]

Hi Mark

I price all my jobs by the Sq M. I count each stair as 1 Sq M. This covers the extra work involved in cleaning stairs using hand tool etc.

Hope this helps...

[mark_lane]

Many thanks jacko
I charge charge by the sq m, but have just been guessing on stairs

H/S/L as a one off £47.00, if done while doing other work inhouse £35.00.

£2.50 a step and your normal area price for the rest

thats spooky just been to look at a job, and been pondering this one.

so any advice,

spoke to a friend and they are saying about £1 per step and riser, for water extraction.

the job i'm looking at is 50 flights of 13 steps and then all the landings, and walkways, about 5000sq ft of that.  them there are nosings on the stairs aswell.

these are carpet tiled areas non bitumous, and needs to be done quarterly.

any thoughts

mike, what system are using for £2.50 a step please??

regards

An average flight of stairs has 13 steps x £2.50 equals £32 the landing is about 1m x 2m so about £6 the hallway is 1m X 3m so £9

32+ 6+9 =  £47 about right for a Hall, stair & landing

You weren’t in EC1 today by any chance? Just got back from there measuring up.

Mark

I will go a long with John on this but a bit dearer than me £2 but they can afford it up there. Care should be taken what is normal to us is also normal to certain potential customers landings BAA would be jealous, if you get my drift, this is domestic.

hello martin
what are you thinking of charging then,and are you taking other work with the same customer into consideration?

[Fintan_Coll]

Yes, I have noticed that most flights of stairs have thirteen steps. Why is that?

[martin19842]

mark,

havent quite worked it out yet, as things got overtaken this evening, have ended up doing a 120 mile round trip to survey an urgent job.

which i will publish when i've doen the work.

Houses must be larger up north

The average flight is twelve stairs down my way, but the standard is 10-14 stairs depending on building style.

Average price per standard size stair (domestic) £2-2.50

Martin

Tiled stairs and landings I would clean using Texatherm

[John_Flynn]

Of course houses are built BIGGER upt'north it's cos wi built like Brick Sh*t houses ourselves, we play the Proper game of Rugby up here

[paul@ctcs]

Rugby!? surely thats just something for blokes who cant play the beautiful game and are partial to one too many pies

Paul

[John_Flynn]

The Beautiful Game?

Is that the one that is played by overpaid BIG GIRLS BLOUSES

[martin19842]

woodman,

what sort of costing would you expect on that rather than HWE.?

martin

[woodman]

Hi Martin

On commercial you will be very lucky if get anything over  £1.35 a stair.

[martin19842]

thats a relief,

as i have subimtted the quote, and then if we went for texatherm we would still be ok with the pricing
