Hi guys,

New member here, used to work for a brick cleaning company in london, but needed a change so i moved up north and started my own pressure washing company in glasgow.

Ive already got some great info of this forum, and ill definately be coming back for seconds, so thanks!!

I was asked to price 50-60ish m2 of tarmac to clean and remove gum from outside a restaraunt. ALOT of gum. i quoted £250 as i knew the gum would have been a bit finicky. travek time to job was 35-40 mins one way, and i would have used extra diesle with the boiler going, so....

did i price myself out? or does this seem like a reasonable price for the job?

cheers guys, and thanks again for all the great info, hope to see you around abit more and get more involved on here..

hi mat   as a "professional"  the customer is not paying for your "time"  they pay for your "kit" "experience" & "expertise" if they cant get there head round that  you move on and dont worry about it

Realistically times are tough- we can all gauge quickly if we're getting the quotes wrong.

It sounds like you failed to sell yourself

Hi guys, ad thanks for the replies.

It was a phone quote, i got sent a picture and basically the guy needed it done in a hurry. he said he wanted all the gum off and that it was only a few m2, got the picture and quoted. ive realised that i didnt quot myself out, but maybe i could have dropped a few quid off. but im over it, theres more jobs out there.
