I've had a few that have taken months, but i've just had a private school come in and want a contract 10 months after given them an inital quote.

Just wondering what the longest commercial quote is you had that came back to be taken on? ;)

I've been waiting 8mths for a quote to be excepted for a church clean (modern no lead) The only thing is i state quotes are valid for 3mths from date on written quote. I've been past the church and the windows are looking really bad 8mths on so there is no chance i will be cleaning them now at the old price ::)
