I'm sure you know what you can and can't do, but I wouldn't just turn the job down. When you see the building and what has to be cleaned, reclaimed, disposed of, worked around, etc, try to decide what equipment you would need to do the job safely, legally, and competently. If nothing else, bid enough to buy a water reclaim system, surface cleaner, or whatever. Even if you overbid, nothing lost.

Don't get in over your head, and if you take the job, do it right. Don't just turn down anything that's out of your comfort zone. You gotta get your hands on different things to learn and expand your biz. Always pay attention when you're bidding a job and think: "A surface cleaner sure would be nice." If you say that 'X' amount of times, just go buy one. Anything that makes your job easier is money well spent.

P.S. If you give an estimate, be sure you work out times to come test chemicals on what you're cleaning. Always consider things like this when giving an estimate, tell them you'll have to order and test different chems before starting.

No shame in knowing your limits or testing them. Good luck.
