Quoting software for UK handymen

Create clear, professional handyman quotes from rough site notes. TailoredQuote drafts the scope, bundles multiple tasks into one document, adds your branding, and creates a PDF ready to send. You stay in control of every price.

Why handymen need better quoting

The handyman trade is unique. Unlike specialists who quote for one type of work, you might visit a single property and be asked to assemble furniture, fit shelves, replace a door handle, bleed the radiators, touch up paintwork, and rehang a sagging gate — all in the same afternoon. Quoting for that mix of tasks on the spot is something most handymen do in a rushed text message. That does not look professional and does not protect you if the customer disputes the scope later.

TailoredQuote’s AI drafts the scope for you. Type or dictate the full list of jobs in plain English, the AI structures the quote with each task as a separate line item, and you review and set every price before sending. The AI drafts — you decide.

What your handyman quote should cover

A professional handyman’s quote should include:

• Flat pack assembly — item count, brand and model if known, anchoring to wall
• Shelving — floating shelves, bracket shelves, alcove units, fixing method
• Curtain poles and blinds — fitting, drilling, levelling, bracket count
• Picture hanging — quantity, wall type, fixing method (plugs, toggle bolts, adhesive)
• Door adjustment — planing, hinge replacement, latch alignment, draught strip
• Minor plumbing — tap washer, cistern valve, silicone reseal, waste tightening
• Minor electrical — light fitting replacement, socket faceplate swap (like for like)
• General repairs — filler and sand, touch-up paint, fence panel fix, gate rehang

TailoredQuote prompts you for the key details and drafts these sections automatically. You review, adjust, and add anything specific to the job.

Example: what you’d type into TailoredQuote

From that, TailoredQuote drafts a structured scope with line items for each task. You set the prices, add your letterhead, and send a branded PDF — all from your phone.

Common customer objection handymen face

“I can get someone cheaper on TaskRabbit.”

Customers compare your branded, itemised quote to an unvetted gig-economy listing and wonder why there is a price difference. A detailed, professionally presented quote with each task described clearly, individually priced, and presented under your business branding shows the customer they are hiring a professional — not a stranger with a toolbox. When they can see that each shelf is individually specified, each door adjustment is scoped, and the work comes with your business name and contact details on a proper document, they understand the value. A branded PDF also gives them something to file for their records — a text message does not.

Optional: show the finished room

On the Pro plan, you can upload a room photo and describe the renovation. TailoredQuote generates an AI visual guide showing one interpretation of what the space could look like. Attach it to your quote PDF so the customer can picture the result before work starts. AI mockups are visual guides, not exact representations — the final result depends on materials and workmanship.
