Title: Quoting for a school
Post by: steveo22 on March 08, 2013, 03:41:53 pm

Hi, I am looking for any and all advice on pricing for a school, I have a little experience in this area, but nothing on this scale.

Thanks in advance

I don't have any pics, basically its a campus with a school, sixth form college, sports hall, science block, english block etc....  The inside of the sports hall will need to be tower scaffolded out to access the windows. They will be looking to have them cleaned during the Easter holidays, so will have all week, hoping that would be enough. It seemed crazy to try and count all the windows as their was literally thousands in and out, thought it would be easier to try and judge approximately how long it would take and charge a day rate??!!

Most schools have their own websites so if you tell us what school it is then maybe we can have a look then give you some idea etc.

We have cleaned something similair using a Superlite modular with an 18 inch wagtail on the end at 40 footish.

To be honest it wasn't 100 per cent but at that height you couldn't tell unless you looked really hard..
