Frequently asked questions about electrical quotes

Can I separate the cost of materials from labour?

Yes, you can create independent lines for materials (cable, fittings, consumer unit) and for labour (installation hours), each with its own price.

How do I include the installation certificate in the quote?

Add a line for the electrical installation certificate as a separate service. You can include notes about the applicable wiring regulations.

Can I reuse common material lines across quotes?

Yes, you can duplicate previous quotes as a base and adjust quantities. The materials you use frequently are saved.

Guide to quoting in electrical

A professional electrical quote should clearly separate the materials (wiring, fittings, consumer units, light fixtures) from the labour and certification costs. The electrician who itemises each element — light points, socket outlets, dedicated circuits for air conditioning or an induction hob — builds trust and reduces later arguments about what was included.

Wiring regulations require installations to meet specific technical standards. Showing in the quote that the installation includes the electrical installation certificate, testing and any required notification adds perceived value and sets the serious professional apart from the electrician who works without documentation.

With DealForge you can create electrical quotes with predefined lines for each type of installation, automatic calculation of the total of materials plus labour and tax, and generate a professional PDF that includes the relevant regulatory references. The client approves from their phone and you can start the installation backed by a signed document.
