Got 2 big jobs to price up /emoticons/smile.png need a cherry picker for both 1 job is every week and the other is every month

Cherry picker is £480.00 including VAT with an IPAF Operative

Im going to use my backpack on the platform but may be able to take my hose up their.

Going to charge £600.00 for the weekly job - should only take me a few hours

And going to charge £650.00 for the monthly job

Just need to do the risk assessment and method statement and then wish myself good luck /emoticons/smile.png

 
sounds good /emoticons/smile.png will you be able to use the cherry picker for both jobs in a day? so for the job once a month you will be able to at the same time as the weekly one, and make crazy money /emoticons/wink.png

£770 if you can do both in a day

 
that all sounds great and would be a huge boost to your turnover if you get the contract. i dont think your price will be competitive enough with the cherry picker hire and operators costs as you might come up against bigger companys that are trained to operate these hoists themselves and some have their own cherry pickers . hopefully im wrong and you get lucky , if you do get it consider getting trained up yourself to operate the cherry picker and youll make thousands a year more , all the best little h /emoticons/tongue.png/emoticons/biggrin.png

 
but if i get trained up im goingto have to get a person to be on the platform /emoticons/tongue.png so ill only be saving like 50 quid

but yeah ill be able to do the 2 jobs in 1 day... so on that 1 day a month i will make good money yeah /emoticons/smile.png

lol

 
You should get trained and buy one

There about 1.5k on eBay......think of what that would open your operunities too and you could hire it out lol

 
why would you have to have a person on the platform with you
I said if I was trained up i would be controlling the cherry picker and would have to get another person on the platform

Lol

 
masons.... this building is the pier on a seafront mate ... hes the photo mate

I got no choice mate but to chage that much mate... it cant be done without a cherry picker... and its the council who are going to pay for it anyway

this photo is the main attraction to the town aswell :)

plus the other building that needs cleaning every month is this:

To be honest.... the price is pretty cheap conisdering the amount of time and effort am going to put in to it mate

No way can they get to these without a cherry picker.... they gotta pay the cost for it to be cleaned mate... cos to be honest its impossible to do it without a cherry picker... on a main road... and the first photo is just awkward with them metal things wrapped around lol

first pick looks like a helter skelter. nice jobs. don't worry about the price. Get trained up to use the cherry picker there great fun. Used to have my ticket for one but let it go years ago.
