Heres one for you all,
went to price this up yesterday,customer wants all the paintwork of the bricks looking like next doors.
Theres 3 coats of paint on the brickwork top coat is standard masonary,other 2,looks alot like an oil base?
Scaffold is a no no,to costly
Tower is a waste of time,grounds so uneven,limited space
Ladders..............................forget it
So its a one man cherrypicker @ £120 a day
Two guys@ 2 days
Paint release agent
Plus all other costs
Parkings ok
The job is a 35mile round trip
Good water supply,but its from the kitchen sink out the back
When i gave him the price(£875+/-),he fainted,after he came round i asked well how much did you think it would cost,when he told me £300..................i fainted.
When i came round and got back into the van he thanked me for the quote and said i have a decorator who will scrape all the old paint off repaint it again on his own and surpplying the paint for £320
Good luck to him..............................bye bye
