Roger,

I wouldn't get your hopes up, mate, I've been asked to quote too; I'm off to see the job tomorrow, I didn't know they were getting other quotes in; the sneaky gits.

I also used to clean Chepstow Castle, so I've experience in this area; which is a point I'll be pushing when I quote.

Sorry, mate; but I bet the best looking window cleaner gets it; so that'll be me.

Although saying that, there isnt too many castles in manchester

Why have you quoted your price on here :


Tosh is well rubbing his hands together

[seandyer2003]

I do a Palace and they insisted on a minimum of £5m public liability as the glass is old leaded and very expensive to replace infact i was told in no uncertain terms not to break anything as anything that got damaged inside is irreplaceable
Be very careful and price well as they can be good earners unless you want the job for the kudos

Most insurance policies most dont automatically cover damage for the building you are working on unless specifically added on....so need to watch that, and check your policy!!

No quote on here?? His hourly rate might be 10 might be 100?? thats no clue...might get there and change mind and ask for double what he was thinking before he left ??

Cheers guys.

It's just the main building, and it's only 18 windows.

Some are quite big and dirty, but I reckon £40 should cover it and make sure I get it.
It will probably be quarterly, so no need for a massive one-off price.

Just the windows circled here plus a couple on the side and the front:

There you go sean. Yer right tho, it could be rogers sneaky way of getting the job.....not.  Either way tosh will be more expensive and prob get it....hes a jammy git

He might say 40 but will put in 30 

[Tosh]

Roger,

Do they want inside and out, or outside only?

If it's outside only £40 is a nice price, but if it's inside also you need to be much higher; I bet they're big tall real leaded windows which are a pain, especially if it's done quarterly; and jobs that are done quarterly should be priced high.

I actually sent Caldicot Castle a mailshot about two-years-ago, and heard nothing from it!

I wonder who were their last window cleaners?

[jaykie]

That cannon is aiming straight at you so be careful

[Tosh]

   Oh, I'm only joking, I haven't been asked to quote; but if I was a bit more mercenary... well... (he'd be letting my tyres down and stuff)!

But I'm not, and I hope Squeaks gets the job.

Funny that, because it's a mate who asked me.

Whoops, didn't read your post above!

[Tosh]

Rog,

Be a bit cheeky, ask for £50 and if you don't get it, negotiate from there.

[Tosh]

Rog,

Did you get the Castle?

[markybop]

I clean this castle every month for Historic Scotland all with the pole......

[bwoofie]

Once had a woman ring up,
wanted quote for cleaning job
didnt know if i wanted the hassle
went round there rubbing me hands
And cleaned her bouncy castle

[Sir Squeaky]

Rog,

Did you get the Castle?

Haven't heard yet.
He wasn't sure if he'd see the boss today or not.

I used to clean this castle, then passed it on to Ken another member of th forum.

The window on the left on the tower is really tall, we used to do the lot off the ladder.

Roy

That's a small castle! Is it a real one?

I didn't realize some castles just look like big houses!

The picture only shows part of the castle, its lived in by Sir Richard. His family have lived in it since the 14 century.
