Quote Software Built for UK Plumbers

A professional plumbing quote should list the scope of work, itemised materials with part numbers where relevant, labour cost broken down by hours, VAT, total price, payment terms, validity period, and your Gas Safe registration number for any gas work. A digital quote through QuoteWorkx includes all of this as standard.

Price the boiler unit, fittings, flue components, thermostat, and any controls separately. Add labour in hours, typically 1-2 days for a like-for-like swap. Apply your material markup. Add commissioning, disposal of the old unit, and system flush if needed. QuoteWorkx templates cover this out of the box.

Yes. QuoteWorkx is built for UK plumbers. It handles VAT, GBP, Gas Safe context, and WhatsApp delivery. Starter plans begin at £4 per month with a 7-day free trial, no card required.

Yes, for any job above a small callout. A written quote protects you legally, locks in the price, and manages customer expectations. Verbal quotes are a dispute waiting to happen. A digital quote that the customer has approved on their phone is legally binding in the UK.

Most plumbers do not charge for quoting standard jobs. For complex commercial jobs or detailed specifications (for example, a full bathroom rip-out with planning drawings) a survey fee of £75-£250 is standard, often refunded if the job is won. QuoteWorkx reduces the time to quote so charging becomes unnecessary for most jobs.

Tradify is a full field-service management platform with scheduling, invoicing, timesheets, and job management. QuoteWorkx focuses on one thing: fast professional quoting from your phone. If you are a sole trader or running a small team who mainly needs quotes out fast and on-brand, QuoteWorkx is simpler and cheaper. If you need full job management, Tradify covers more ground.

Yes. Under English contract law, a digital quote that has been approved and electronically signed by the customer forms a binding contract, provided the scope, price, and terms are clear. QuoteWorkx captures the timestamp, IP, and digital signature automatically, which is strong evidence if a dispute arises.

For boiler installs, bathroom refits, or any job where you are ordering parts upfront, a 25-50% deposit is standard. QuoteWorkx lets you add a deposit line to the quote and request payment as part of the approval flow. The deposit terms sit in writing on the PDF the customer signs.

Yes. Your Gas Safe registration number appears on every quote automatically. You can add compliance notes, certification requirements (for example, CP12 landlord gas safety), and scope limitations so the customer and any future engineer have a clear record.

Under two minutes for a templated job. Complex custom quotes take longer but still complete before you leave the site. Most plumbers report sending the quote within five minutes of finishing the survey.
