Got asked to quote for these 16 flats, the factor is wanting them cleaned every month, the pics just show 1 block (4 flats) there is another 3 identical blocks.... How much would you quote?

[DaveG]

£30 a block?

[markybop]

Hmmmm, I was thinking a bit more myself, that's quite cheap.....they look a lot bigger in reality with a few windy's on the gable ends too.....

[DaveG]

Can you give them a price per flat?

[www.mrgutters.co.uk]

15-16 per flat so like 60.00 per block

[markybop]

Yeah, there wanting a price per flat, access through the flat to clean the balcony windys, if no ones home prob just get the ladder oot....

[DASERVICES]

Thought you had retired Or did you miss the action that much and decided to come back

[Simon@ Clearview contractors]

I'd quote 112 for the for buildings, £32 per block.

[R W C]

As its all in one place so no travelling id say to secure it go in around £140 as i couldnt see you getting £15 a flat(£240 the lot), if it was just a couple then yer but not the lot.

[markybop]

Thanks for the replies guys....Yeah, lets say I stil 'manage' my round with a little help from a few guys  ....so im still always on the lookout for new work.....
Still working 'fulltime' in glasgow central....best of both world I think.....

If you have other jobs nearby try go in as low as you can, i know round me commercial is at rock bottom, i am always too expensive at the minute, i am happier earning more on residential! Theres just too much competition, and all they want is cheapest quote

[EZclean]

50quid a block no less. pain in the arse if they are in/not in to do balc door.  bite your hand off 

[pjulk]

£4 - £5 per flat

[cozy]

I must have misunderstood something here. Is this job trad or WFP? Is this a silly question if I was UK based?

[sam peafield]

£160 the lot ,

access would concern me to balcony ones are you doing wfp or trad ?

[bad trippy]

I was thinking in terms of £8 per custy which is £32 per block times four blocks £128 then add £12 to round it off to £140 for all the entrances

[trevor perry]

i would do all four blocks for £80 +vat at most there is only three hours work but could probably be done in less.

[sam peafield]

Trevor,

Wow £80 that sounds way to cheap to me

Trevor,

Wow £80 that sounds way to cheap to me

may be it is just the area i live but that would be a realistic price round here, i have cleaned windows for 26 years have a pretty large firm doing lots of commercial work and we still get undercut regularly at these prices.

Commercial seems to be going the same way as contract cleaning from what i have experienced lately!! people quoting daft and employing someone on min wage to do it and turn a few quid profit!! It defintitely isnt the big money you would expect, seems more profitable to get good domestic work to me!! All the commercials ive quoted i have quoted fairly and not had a sniff of any of them - been undercut by ALOT!!

Im not focusing on the commercial as much now, i think unless you get in with council or housing association or similar its hard to get good money, or maybe its just the few ive had??
