i have been asked to quote a job that is 5/6 stories high. an appartment block.
All the walls need to be washed down and all the aluminium fascia too. also i have been asked to clean the windows and frames.( i can price the windows ok, but the jet washing im not too sure about.)

I will definately need a cherry picker and have been asked to get my own liscence for it.
How much does a lisence cost to be able to opperate a cherry picker up to 50-60ft?

And how do you guys think i should go about pricing it?
i need all the help i can get as i need to give my price by friday.

Thank you

first of all you need the licence i paid £250 inc vat
then theres the cost of hiring in a machine we pay £400+ vat for a weeks hire self drive
before you can hire one you will need to check your insurance covers you for using a cherry picker as its a plant vehicle
you will also need to prove you have got adequate insurance for the machine before they will hire it to you
some hire companies will let you pay a bit more to cover the insurance for the machine.

Alternativley you could hire a machine with a driver but I know its not cheap

As to pricing the job itself i wouldnt like to say unless i saw the job ie access,health and safety issues with pressure washing at height, is it on a new build site or on a residential site,what if any chemicals do you need,whats the risk of getting other people wet etc,etc

Hope this helps
