What to put on a carpenter quote

  • Your business name, address, phone and email, and your VAT number if you're registered
  • The customer's name and the address where the work is
  • A quote number, the date and how long the price stands (30 days is common)
  • Each part of the job on its own line, with quantity and price, so the customer can see what they're paying for
  • VAT shown separately if you're VAT registered
  • Any deposit, your payment terms and what isn't included
  • A space for the customer to sign and date to accept

Tips for carpenters and joiners

  • Say whether it's first fix, second fix or both, and what's in each.
  • Name the timber or board (oak, pine, MDF, moisture resistant) and the finish (primed, unfinished, lacquered).
  • For fire doors, say FD30 or FD60, and that they're fitted with the certified frame, intumescent seals and closer.
  • For bespoke work, attach the drawing or sizes and say that changes after it's made cost extra.

Carpenter & Joiner Quote Template: questions

How do carpenters price fitting internal doors?

Most quote a price per door to hang (with hinges, latch and handle), plus the doors and ironmongery as their own lines, and architrave or lining work on top. Fire doors take longer and need certified parts, so price them separately.

What's the difference between a quote and an estimate?

A quote is a fixed price for the work it describes: once the customer accepts it, that's the price unless the job changes. An estimate is your best guess and can go up or down. If you can't be sure, for example until a floor is up, quote what you can and say how the unknown part will be priced.

Does a customer have the right to cancel an accepted quote?

If the contract is agreed in the customer's home, or by phone or online, they usually have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, and you must give them the cancellation information. If they ask you to start within the 14 days, they pay for the work done if they cancel. Urgent repairs they called you out for are different. Business customers don't get this right.
