Hi all. 

Been asked to quote for a building clean. Attached is some photos. It's a large grade two listed building. I'm prossuming it's going to be needed steam cleaning using fire box or doff machine. Any body got an idea of price? 

Cheers

Dan

Scaffolding alone will cost a few thousand  , I think I would get some professional advice from ones doing this type of work as I can foresee potential problems with a listed building, good luck and let us know how it goes , we do normal pressure washing but not something on that scale . 

 
Unless u have a doff machine it gonna be 6k to buy one as you cannot rent them. Then scaffolding or cherrypicker will add 500-4k on top (not sure on rates near you). And thats before the actual cost of doing it

I think purple rhino rent them ?? They had one there when I was there a few months ago and Darren was talking about hiring one out , not sure if it did actually happen but might be worth a call

When i looked into it a couple months back it said that the makers do not allow anyone to rent them, either directly or indirectly as "specialist training" is required, unless you already own one and need a 2nd for a job

 
OMG I think there will be no return on investment from this ”move”. Just think about the costs for people, instruments...It might be also some documentary, I mean not each person can do some works for public buildings, maybe you will have to lose your time at local administration. Of course, maybe if you buy the equipment now, you might use it to make a wider service palette. But I would just search for a service like end of lease cleaning North West London or where is your region and finish this problem.
