Why every tradesperson needs a written quote

Whatever your trade, the fastest, clearest quote usually wins the job — and the written one keeps you out of disputes. Customers judge you on your quote before they ever see your work, so a branded, itemised document does more selling than any sales pitch.

It also protects you legally. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, an accepted written quote is a binding agreement on price and scope. Verbal prices and vague messages give you nothing to stand on when a customer changes their story.

The eight things every quote needs

Your business details and any trade registration; the customer and job address; a unique quote number and date; a clear scope of what is and isn't included; an itemised labour and materials breakdown; the total with VAT shown separately if registered; a validity period (30 days is standard); and your payment terms.

Get those eight right and you already look more organised than most of your competition — which is exactly what wins the job.
