I always price on time and never price without seeing it first. Safe bet is go in high then you can always drop.

Hi Shawn,
                 Im currently doing similar work, you could try asking the manager what the others are charging. sometimes it works. you havent said what the floor surfaces are. if you need help give us a bell on 07751565050

All on one site? well even if you are wfp you could only get through 50 a day max thats 4 days of the week taken up.Or do you have people working for you?  i do plenty of flats but charge by the day not per unit.

Hi Shawn
How about £2 per flat per week. work it out how many flats in each entrance

10 flats = £20 + vat per week, per entrance

That was just a ruff idea, work out how long you think it will take you, then work out what you want for that amount of  time
