Hi
I am new to this forum but would like to ask some advice.
I run a small cleaning company cleaning mainly offices etc on a daily basis. However recently started cleaning properties between lets etc & have just been asked to look at a job cleaning student accomm but to include a needle sweep.
I would be interested in advice firstly how to? Any Health & Safety requirments & lastly how to price the job? Any responses would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi mike

To be honest you had best get trained in dealing with needles, removal and handling and correct disposal, failing to dispose of needles correctly and you will get some lovely bars for your new windows

You need to know where to look, how to look safely, what gear to wear to limit being stuck, correct disposal and paperwork and where the booby traps are.

Hi Mike,

If you try to do this job on your own make sure you tie the payment terms up as tight as a drum. If your doing it direct for a college you should be fine but student accomodation is BIG PLC business these days and cashflow management by squeezing their contractors common.

If you really want to learn? Sub the enquiry to us but get involved in every facet of the job from survey / quote / presentation / doing! ..... ( by that I mean actually work on the job) / getting paid. It beats any course under the sun.

The offer is there. phil.dixon@newlifecleaning.com
