For roofers
Roofing quote template (free) and a quicker way to get paid
Roofers give a lot of free, fixed-price quotes, and homeowners often go quiet after getting three. A clear, itemised quote and a polite follow-up are how you win the job without ringing round every evening.

Built for how roofers work
Free quotes, then silence
QuoteChase follows up every unanswered roofing quote automatically, so you are not ringing homeowners in the evening to find out if they have decided.
Materials and scaffold up front
Raise a deposit invoice the moment the quote is accepted, with a card link, so scaffold and materials are covered before you start.
Weather and price changes
Every quote carries an expiry date, so you are not held to an old price when tiles and timber go up.
Questions
What should a roofing quote include?
Scaffolding, strip and disposal, membrane and battens, the tiles or slates by area, ridge, verge and flashing details, how hidden defects will be handled, VAT, the total, validity and payment terms.
How much deposit do roofers take?
Commonly 20% to 30% to cover scaffold and materials, with the balance on completion. Emergency repairs are usually paid on the day.
How do I stop losing roofing quotes to silence?
Send the quote the same day, follow up after three days and again around day ten, and remind the customer before the price expires.
