What to put on a roofer 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 roofers
- Say whether scaffolding is included, how long it's up for, and what it costs if it stays longer.
- Name the materials: tile or slate type, membrane, battens, and lead code for flashings.
- Say how rotten timbers will be priced if you find them once the roof is open: per board or per metre, agreed in advance.
- Give the guarantee period, and whether it's insurance-backed.

Should a roofing quote include scaffolding?
It should say clearly either way. Scaffolding is often a large part of the price, so list it as its own line with how long it's up for. A quote that leaves it out looks cheaper but isn't, and customers learn that quickly.
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.
