ive been asked to clean a tesco store in liverpool and was just wondering how much would you say is reasonable to quote them for all of outside, signage and entrance doors inside and out?

This could be my first commercial job so i dont want to overcharge and miss it

[Ian Rochester]

Have you been asked by ANTAC UK to do it? 

If so you will find you are subbying to another cleaning company, we were asked to do the same a while ago, quoted them £30 per clean, insides and out, done every week.  They came back saying it was too much, could we do it for £30 for a MONTH on a weekly clean....................er...........NO!

Deysbrooke lane liverpool.

Its not subbying its the contract for the job. I family friend got me the details for the maintenance dept but he cant find out how much they are getting charged or how often they are cleaned

I know il get the job but if i price it right i may get more jobs pushed my way.....

[d.ward]

Ive not quoted yet so what would be a fair price??

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

al,most sure capitol north west used to to it for carlisle them the cleaning company who clean the store i think capitol used to charge about 40 quid 2 panes up in n out once a week surprised capitol aint doing them still they did all ov liverpool tescos ,m8

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

they did prescott old swan bootle derysbrook all over runcorn etc warrington

[d.ward]

they might still be doing them but like i said its a family friend whos helping me get the job....

Do capitol do anymore tescos?

[d.ward]

i wont be subbying the work so i keep profits higher from the job

[d.ward]

if you say that capitol are charging £40 how much would your estimate that carlisle are charging tesco?

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

[d.ward]

if you do whats the payment period on your contracts?

Advise you strongly to avoid it.

Really, if you want commercial, go for SME, local enterprises.

Any big company, ESPECIALLY Tesco, will simply get you dependent on them (give you more work, get you to overstretch and get into debt) then, when you can't do without them, they'll renegotiate the price down.

They don't care. If they put you out of business, there's always some other mug who'll take them on.

Ive heard this before so i want to make sure that i can give a good price thats going to be right for me and hard to undercut or beat

Im going to keep my reidential houses an try to expand into hotels care homes and office building in the norh west so by no way would i be dependant on one company

Thanks for the replys anyway
