Hi
Guys im going to price up a hotel for the carpet cleaning , is there any rules of thumb
for pricing ? so far I have only cleaned houses and a few offices.
Thanks a mill

Price it low enough to win it, but high enough to make a profit from it.

CC  I kinow does a few hotels charges £1.40 sqm hope this helps.

Find out what the others are quoting ASK see proof undercut them but still make profit

 lower than house cleaning, if you have the right gear you can do a much larger area much quicker so it adds up better..........

and set out your payment terms if you do not want to be waiting 3 - 6 months for payment.

In my experience hotels are low value late payers, make sure you protect yourself against this.

Also do a proper pre inspection and 'photograph' any problem areas or pre existing shrinkage etc. if you don't expect to be blamed and not payed.

Apart from that crack on

I didn't get one I quoted on a few months back,wanting carpets and the upholstery cleaning, it was a pretty posh hotel £200+ per night and I went in low,parking and access was also a mare,lot's of narrow stair cases and over 4 floors with no lift, as was the time scale they wanted the job doing in.
So all in all pleased I didn't get it

Sound
Advise , cover myself !

Sometimes it's just not worth going in far too cheap if parking etc is a nightmare!
