Help & Advice wanted
« on: January 11, 2008, 10:43:37 pm »
Hi all

  I've been ask today by one of my clients to price up a carpark clean which holds 10-20 car's and He's asked for it to be done once a week. I've checked the car park and it just needs a realy good sweep which will take about roughly 1hr. I've never priced this type of job up before and dont know where to start - I did think about just charging what I would normally charge per hour but dont know if that would be alright or not. Any feedback would be great



Kind regards Paul

Hi

I would price this job higher than your regular price for regular commercial cleaning works, - it is only one hour a week, who are you going to get to do it for such a short amount of time (I don't want to hear the answer that you will do it yourself even if you will, think as a larger business).  This is outside work and therefore will cost more in terms of PPE.  Don't forget your risk assessments when you are working in places where there are vehicle access you have to include the risks.

Do they want chewing gum removal/ oil spill etc ? if so then you can name your price....
be carefull, you may have to deal with used sharps and syringes which need full M.O statement and regulated disposal.

Is it an area the public can access ?

I think its best they state what they want then price it.

Hello, I do much the same in a car park, 6 cars once a month. £30/ visit takes about 30 mins and the petrol garden blower earns most of it. Never seen anything dodgy. Gum etc are another Quote

One hours sweeping has got to be worth £20.
fuel to and fro, ppe, tax, stamp, new broom...it all adds up !
