What to put on a handyman 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 handymen
- Say your minimum charge and what it covers, for example the first hour or a half day.
- Put each small job on its own line so the customer can drop one and see the new price.
- Say whether you buy materials (at cost, or with a handling charge) or the customer does.
- Say what you won't do: gas work, notifiable electrical work and anything that needs a registered trade.

Should a handyman charge by the hour or by the job?
Both work. A price per job is easier for the customer to say yes to; an hourly or half-day rate is safer when you can't tell how long it'll take. Many handymen quote per job and keep a minimum charge so a five-minute job still pays for the visit.
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.
