Write the quote from your survey

Electrical quotes go wrong when the customer pictures one thing and you price another. Count the points room by room and put the totals on the quote: so many double sockets, so many downlights, one cooker circuit, one outdoor socket. If the customer wants to add something later, everyone can see it wasn't in the original price.

Name the consumer unit and protection you're fitting, such as "10-way dual RCD board" or "all-RCBO board". The price difference is big and customers comparing quotes need to know they're comparing like for like.

Make the unknowns clear

Older properties hide surprises: no earth bonding, rubber cabling or an undersized main fuse. You can't price what you can't see, so add a line in the terms such as "Price assumes existing earthing arrangement is suitable. Any remedial work will be quoted separately." It's fair to the customer and protects you.

Say what happens to the walls. A rewire means chasing and lifting floorboards, and customers often assume you'll replaster. If making good, plastering or decorating isn't included, write it down.

Timing and access

Tell the customer how long the power will be off and which rooms you'll need empty. For an EV charger, mention any checks needed on the supply before installation.

Validity

Cable and copper prices move, so put an end date on the quote. This template defaults to 30 days and you can change it.

Frequently asked questions

Should an electrician's quote include certification?

Yes. Say which certificate the customer will get and whether Building Regulations notification is included. It's part of the job and customers increasingly ask about it.

Quote per point or per job?

Per point is easy for customers to follow on small jobs. For a full rewire, a fixed job price with a room-by-room breakdown is clearer.

Can I ask for a deposit?

Yes. Many electricians take a deposit for larger jobs to cover materials such as the consumer unit. Put the amount and when it's due in the terms.
