Checklist

What to put on a plumber quote

Get these right and customers can say yes without phoning you back with questions.

  1. 01

    Your details

    Business name, phone, email and address, plus your logo if you have one.

  2. 02

    The customer and the site

    Who the quote is for and where the work is, if that's a different address.

  3. 03

    A quote number and date

    So you can both refer to it, and so you know which version they accepted.

  4. 04

    The work, line by line

    Each item with a quantity and a unit (m², metre, point, day, item) and its price. Itemised quotes win more work than a single lump sum.

  5. 05

    The total, and VAT

    The full price, and whether VAT is added. If you're not VAT registered, say nothing about VAT.

  6. 06

    What's not included

    The things customers assume are, like making good or skip hire. This is where most arguments start.

  7. 07

    Deposit and payment terms

    How much up front, when the balance is due and how to pay.

  8. 08

    How long the price stands

    A valid-until date, because material prices move.

  9. 09

    How to accept

    A signature, a reply, or a tap on a link. Make saying yes easy.

Small print

Exclusions worth writing on every plumber quote

Most disputes come from what the customer assumed was included. Say it up front.

  • Any work not described in this quotation
  • Replacing corroded or failed existing pipework found during the job (quoted separately before starting)
  • Making good flooring, tiling or decoration lifted to reach pipework, unless listed
  • Upgrades needed to bring the existing system up to current regulations (quoted separately)

FAQ

Plumber quotes, answered

Something else? Email tom@quoteedge.co.uk and a real person will reply.

What should a plumber quote include?

Your business name and contact details, the customer and site address, the work broken into lines with quantities and units, a price for each line and a total, whether VAT is included, what is not included, the deposit and payment terms, how long the price stands, and how the customer accepts.

Is a quote the same as an estimate?

No. A quote is normally taken as a fixed price for the work described, while an estimate is a rough guide that can change. If the price could move, say so on the quote and list what would change it.

How long should a quote be valid for?

Put a date on it. Thirty days is a sensible default, and it is what QuoteEdge uses, because material prices move. After that you can re-price before the customer says yes.

Should I take a deposit on plumber work?

Small jobs are often paid on completion. If you are buying materials up front or booking out several days, ask for a deposit and write the amount and when it is due on the quote.

Should I add VAT to my quote?

Only if you are VAT registered. If you are, show VAT clearly and include your VAT number. If you are not, do not add VAT. Check the current registration threshold on GOV.UK.
