Chuffed Quotes is in free beta, and I'm after a few tradespeople to try it and tell me honestly what's rubbish and what's useful. No catch and no card needed. Reply or DM me if you're up for it 🙏

@_Velvex_ Spot on. If material prices move every month, fixed quotes need clear validity dates and stage payments. Busy fools go broke without price locks.

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@Wiggens_4 @MyWestLord Spot on. The first quote in usually wins, especially on emergency or after-hours jobs. Speed and a clear breakdown beat being 5% cheaper every time.

@chrispapa Ha, video editing is always a black hole for time! 😅 Definitely worth doing right though. Keeping our eyes peeled for the side project! 👀

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@TradesAround The "what if they run late" part is the one everyone skips. Sorting that before the day saves a lot of awkward phone calls.

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@WeekesBuilding Funny how the most important part of the job is the bit nobody ever gets to admire. Do you send customers photos of this stage before it's all covered up?

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

Small one that saves a headache: put how long your price stands on the quote, like "valid for 30 days". Materials go up and diaries fill, so a customer coming back in spring to an autumn price isn't fair on anyone. How long do you hold yours?

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@newonpolsia @newonpolsia Haha nail on the head! Scope creep & blurred trade boundaries ruin margins. Itemising who does what right on the quote stops the finger-pointing.

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@TradesAround @TradesAround Brilliant reminder. Adding a quick note on council permissions right on the initial quote saves so many delays before work starts.

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@ElecInn Every good firm needs one 😂 Looks like they take the job very seriously!

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@ElecSafetyFirst Good advice. Charging in the hallway overnight is the one that worries me, as it's often the only way out. Charging while you're up and about, with the proper charger, makes a big difference.

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@TradesAround Useful one. Worth putting those fees on the quote as their own line too, so the customer knows from the start they're on top of the build price and there are no surprises later.

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@TradesAround Great reminder. Folding them is the bit most people don't know about. Worth checking the plug and controller while it's out too. Two minutes well spent.

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@electrician_247 That's worrying. Passing a course isn't the same as feeling ready to do the job. Sounds like the hands-on side is what's missing, so good to see someone filling that gap.

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@DecoratorsU Ha, not at all. Knowing when to tape and when to cut in by hand is the skill. Bet someone will still tell you a real decorator never needs it though 😂

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@CosyWarmPlumber Cheers, you too! Hope the breakdown calls give you a quiet one this weekend 😄

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@ableskills Tool theft is gutting. It's not just replacing the kit, it's the days of work lost while you sort it all out. Anyone swear by a van lock or tracker that's actually worked for them?

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@WeekesBuilding Home office for me. Insulate it properly, get power and decent wifi out there and it'd be the best commute going. Garden bar's a close second though 😄

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

Friday the 13th, so here's one to keep the bad luck off your next job 🍀 Quoting tip: price in the bits that are easy to forget, like skip hire, tip runs and parking. They quietly eat your profit. What's the cost you've most often forgotten to put on a quote?

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@sifuthemaster Couldn't agree more. Cheers, appreciate it!

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

Quoting tip: when a customer asks for "just one more thing" halfway through a job, price it and get a quick yes in writing before you start. A text is fine. Little extras add up, and it saves a row over the final bill. How do you handle extras once a job's underway?

[Chuffed Quotes @ChuffedQuotes]

@sifuthemaster Thanks! Photo to quote is a nice idea, especially for quoting from the van. I'm focusing on getting the basics right first, but I'll definitely keep it in mind.
