Conservatory

Hi, I have had a verbal quote for a lean to conservatory but no written estimate? Is this acceptable or should I insist on a written quote?

If youre going to give the go ahead get a written quote . Ive just given a verbal quote for conny and roof separate to the builders footing price . when the cogs are running I will sit down and draw up a contract trlling the customer what we are doing / not doing .

Thanks, that’s helpful.  I found it odd that some companies sent a written quote irrespective of any decision to go ahead, but another company insisted that I only needed a verbal quote initially.  They would only go into more detail if I signed to go with them.

I can understand them giving an estimate first to avoid the time and cost if potential clients decided not to proceed.  I wouldn't sign up to anything with full details of the work to be done, including drawings to ensure there are no misunderstanding.
