Hi all got to give a quote for a school
all windows are accessable although large
260 of themin total and they have not been done for a year or two.

I think it will take a solid day by myself but could take a day and a half on the safe side.
me and another easy one day
If I got to do the insides I think it will be 2- 3 days etc etc
How much you think.?
cheeky I know but
Just want to see if I am wide of the mark

Many Thanks J

£300 for a day and half?

just becuase your day rate is 200 doesnt not mean your half day is 300, its actually £150

for that i think you should be quoting 450,

for 30p/h ladder work you can easily up this to min 40/ph and then at 12 hours work is £480 not far off it the whole thing take from leaving your house day one at 8am then getting home again on day two or next job at 12pm

i think thats fair, besides they havnt been done in a year, you think your gonna do them again within the year?

inside is time and a half, plus it will be trad so it has to be more so, £750 inside, and £450 outside is £1200

cheaper than NWH so they will go with me  :P

We do abig ish school.  outside only £400.   i know if I presented a quote in the thousands they would just laugh at me.  Most schools are on a really tight budget for things like this.

Jago.   Go with what you are happy to earn.  Always add about 20 % on again for unforseen problems.

i'd say that was about right about £400 for a day and half on your own, you tell them 1300 and they will tell you where to go....

thats rubbish that if a quote is in the thousands they wont take it if the work warrants it ...then fair enough i do a school every year 488 windows £1425 with a 8% increase each year.

takes 3 days

just quote what suits you
