Transparent job costing
Break down labour, materials, travel, tools, overheads and margin so every quote reflects the real job — not a guess scribbled on a notepad.
Quote accurately · Invoice professionally · Protect your profit
UK quote & invoice software built to protect your profit
You did not go self-employed to lose money on every job. Quotimiser helps you price work with your real costs — then turn the same quote into a professional invoice and get paid faster.
Labour, materials, travel, tools, VAT and overheads — structured, consistent, and built for on-site use.
No card required · Built for UK trades · Mobile-first workflows
Why tradespeople switch from spreadsheets
Spreadsheets work until a number changes, a line gets deleted, or VAT gets forgotten. Quotimiser keeps the structure consistent — so you quote the same way every week.
Fewer pricing mistakes
Structured line items and overhead thinking help you avoid underquoting jobs you thought were profitable.
Less double entry
Quote once, invoice from the same data — instead of copying totals into another tool.
Documents clients trust
Consistent PDFs beat ad-hoc emails and handwritten totals when you want repeat work and referrals.
Quote accurately (before you send the price)
Most “bad jobs” are not bad luck. They are missing costs: travel, small materials, time on site, overheads and VAT. When those lines are invisible, the total looks fine — until the job is finished.
See margin before you commit
Structure the quote while you still have time to fix the total — before you send a price you cannot walk back without awkward conversations.
UK-shaped line items
Built around the way UK trades actually price work — including VAT thinking when you are registered, and clear sections for labour vs materials.
Invoice professionally (same job, no retyping)
Generic invoice tools start after you have already named the price. Quotimiser is built for the moment that matters most: when you still have time to fix the quote — then you can turn the approved scope into an invoice without retyping figures into another template.
Quotes become invoices
Turn an approved quote into an invoice in a few clicks. Same line items, same totals, no retyping into a separate template.
Professional PDFs
Send consistent, readable documents that look like a real business — not a messy email thread with changing numbers.
Get paid faster (client links + payment tracking)
Clear quotes reduce surprises. Professional invoices and client links help customers pay with confidence — especially when payments are staged on bigger jobs.
Client-friendly links
Share a clear quote or invoice view so customers know what they are paying for — without logging in.
Staged payment thinking
Structure larger jobs so cash flow matches the way you actually work (availability varies by plan).
One place for quotes and invoices
Spend less time hunting through folders, photos and message threads for “the old price”.
Built for real UK job pricing
VAT when you are registered, UK address lookup where available, and layouts that work on-site — because quotes often happen in the van, not at a desk.
UK-focused
Language, tax workflows and examples aimed at UK trades — not a US invoice template dressed up.
Your data, your control
Export data and manage your account responsibly as a modern SaaS product (see Privacy & Terms).
Security-minded
Built for web delivery with sensible defaults — ideal for non-technical trades users who still care about trust.
What UK tradespeople say about clearer quoting
Sole traders and small crews using Quotimiser to quote properly, match the invoice, and stop leaving money on the table.
I used to fire off one big number for a boiler and wonder why I was flat out but still skint. Now I line out labour, flue and controls properly. I stopped knocking money off the bits that actually take time.
Marcus T.
Gas engineer / plumber · Leeds
My quote and invoice look the same now. Customers do not ring asking what they are paying for. I am not losing my Sunday catching up on paperwork anymore.
Priya S.
Electrician · Bristol
My accountant still does the books at year end. Fair enough. But I price the job in one place now. I can see the VAT and overheads before I send it, not when the job is done and it is too late.
James W.
Builder, extensions and refurb · Essex
Merchant whacked the slate price up halfway through a re roof. I was on the scaffold. Updated it on my phone in the van. Beats messing about with a spreadsheet and praying I did not forget wastage.
Callum R.
Roofer · Glasgow
Bathroom refit deposits finally match what I quoted. Deposit, first fix, done. The customer is not texting every week asking me to resend the total.

How trades use Quotimiser on real jobs
Boiler swaps, board changes and extensions. How UK crews quote the work and get paid without the usual back and forth.
Same numbers on quote and invoice
Boiler job where the invoice matched the quote
Heating engineer · West Yorkshire
Before
Every quote was basically supply and fit in one line. Flue, controls and water treatment were hidden in my head. When the merchant put prices up mid job I ate it.
After
Now every boiler quote has proper lines for labour, parts and notifications. Customer says yes, I turn it into an invoice without typing it all again. Less arguing after about what was in the price.
Testing and materials on the quote before send
Board change priced on site, not on the phone
Domestic electrician · South West
Before
I was guessing board changes down the phone. Testing and making good never made it on the quote. Then the invoice did not match what they thought they had agreed.
After
I price it on site with testing and materials broken out. They get a PDF they can actually read in the kitchen. When the job is signed off the invoice is the same as what they accepted.
Stage payments that match the quote
Extension where the customer got the stages
Small builder, two lads · Home Counties
Before
Extensions were one big number on a spreadsheet. Prelims and measured work were buried. Homeowner compared me to a cheaper lump sum. Invoices never matched what I quoted at the start.
After
Quote shows prelims, measured work and what each stage costs. Invoices follow that. Cash comes in steadier because they know what they are paying for each time.

FAQ
Is Quotimiser an invoice app or a quoting app?
Both — optimised for accurate quoting first, then a smooth invoice flow when the customer says yes. You structure labour, materials, travel, tools, VAT and overheads before you name a price.
Will this stop me underquoting?
It structures costs and overheads so you are less likely to miss margin-killers like travel, small materials and time on site. You still make the final price call — but the quote is built from visible lines, not a guess.
Does it handle VAT?
Yes for UK VAT-registered workflows as implemented in the product (see pricing and in-app help for current limits). If you are not VAT registered, you can still quote and invoice clearly in GBP.
Can I send quotes or invoices to clients?
Yes — you can share client-facing links and professional PDFs so customers see a clear breakdown. Email and portal-style flows depend on your plan — check the pricing page for what is included today.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — mobile-first workflows for quotes on site, quick edits, and sending documents without waiting until you are back at a desk.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. You can create a free account with clear limits on quotes and invoices, then upgrade to Pro when you need unlimited usage. See the pricing page for current numbers.
