You do the work. We make you look professional.
Before a customer hires you, your quote is one of the few things they see. A text with a number in it says “bloke with a van”. A proper quote says “business that’s done this before” — and that’s what makes a £2,000 job comfortable to say yes to.
Before — what they usually get

No breakdown, no terms, no way to say yes. “Have a think” usually means they’re getting two more numbers.

How builders usually price a job
Quote a lump for a defined scope, then sense-check it against day rates across the programme. Extensions and loft conversions are per m² of new floor, not per day. Small making-good and while-you're-here work is day rate. Prelims — skip, toilet, parking, welfare — need their own lines or they vanish into your margin.
- Single-storey extension, all-in, mid spec£2,200.00/m²£1,600.00–£3,000.00
- Loft conversion, rear dormer, all-in£2,000.00/m²£1,400.00–£2,800.00
- Full house refurb, mid spec£1,800.00/m²£1,200.00–£2,800.00
