- You scribble the job on a fag packet, then lose an evening at the kitchen table turning it into a number.
- You ring the merchant for prices, or guess, because the price list in the van is six months old.
- You send the customer a text message with a number in it and hope they take you seriously.
Quote electrical jobs before you leave the drive
Say the job out loud and FirstPrice turns it into an itemised quote with real Screwfix and Toolstation prices, ready to send before you start the van.
Three free quotes, no card, no signup.
Quoting electricians, before and after
The same job, priced two ways. Only one of them lands the work.
- Say the job into your phone on the drive and the quote builds itself while you pack the tools away.
- Every material is priced from Screwfix, Toolstation and TLC Direct's live catalogue, so the number is real.
- Send a proper PDF with your company name at the top before you've pulled off the street.
How it works
From pulling up outside the job to a sent quote, without opening a laptop.
01
Say it or snap it on the driveway
Voice-note the job as you're looking at it, or grab a couple of photos of the consumer unit. You don't type anything.
02
FirstPrice builds the quote
It works out what the job needs and prices every part from live merchant catalogues. Consumer unit part numbers, RCBOs, cable runs, per-point labour. Your day rate, your margin.
03
Send it, they accept, you invoice
The quote goes out as a clean PDF with the BS 7671 certificate line and the VAT split done. Customer says yes, you turn the same job into an invoice.
What a FirstPrice quote looks like
Itemised materials at live merchant prices, your day rate for labour, VAT split done — the exact document the app produces.

Why FirstPrice for electricians
Built for the way the work is actually priced on site.
- Every consumer unit and RCBO is priced from Screwfix or Toolstation's live catalogue, not last year's price list.
- The quote knows about BS 7671 certificates and Part P notification, so you're not eating the cost of the paperwork.
- Your day rate, your margin. FirstPrice doesn't tell you what to charge for labour.
- Per-point pricing, first fix and second fix. The way you actually price a rewire.
- Send the PDF from your phone while you're still on the drive. They accept before you've pulled away.
