Overview
Gas fitter quotes are part install, part compliance, and the certificate is half the value
Gas fitting work splits between new installs and the regulated work nobody else can do: leak repairs, certificate of compliance issues, gas conversions, annual servicing, and the safety check the buyer's solicitor asked for on a house sale. The compliance work is where qualified gas fitters earn their keep, because the alternative for the customer is a job that gets rejected by a council inspector or an insurance company. A quote that just says 'gas safety check' for one fee gives the customer no idea what's involved: pressure testing the line, checking every appliance, issuing the certificate, and writing up any remedial work that needs separate authorisation before it's done.
QuoteGenio gives gas fitters a quoting shape for the regulated work. Safety check and pressure test as the first line, the certificate fee separately, any remedial work as named lines with a hold-fee structure so the customer authorises before the work happens, and an annual service contract priced as a separate record for the customer who's just bought a house. Send via WhatsApp from the customer's kitchen, take a deposit on the contract, and the final invoice attaches the certificate and the service log to the same record for the next inspection in twelve months.
Who it is for
Who uses QuoteGenio
Built for every kind of gas fitting business, from solo registered installers to small teams handling commercial gas work.
The problem
The quoting headaches every gas fitter knows
Gas work is regulated and certificate-driven. Without a structured quote, customers expect appliance-only pricing and the certificate, pipework, and compliance work disappears into 'labour'.
Certificate work hidden
The certificate of compliance, pressure test, and leak check are real time. Without itemising them, customers think the labour line is just the install.
Pipework absorbed into labour
New copper or composite runs, fittings, regulators — these are material cost. Bundle them into labour and your margin disappears on every long pipe run.
No deposit on appliance orders
Without a deposit, you finance the appliance for the customer. When they cancel, you wear the restocking fee or hold dead stock.
The fix
QuoteGenio makes gas quoting clean
A structured workflow for gas fitting. Quote the appliance, the pipework, the certificate, and the call-out separately. Send via WhatsApp from the site, take a deposit on accepted quotes, and recurring invoices for annual service contracts.

Pricing guide
Typical Gas Fitters job pricing
Rough guide to what gas fitters charge. Pricing varies by certification level, region, appliance type, and pipe run length. Long copper runs and full conversions sit at the top of these ranges.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Call-out and survey | $ 80 - $ 180 |
| Stove or hob install (existing supply) | $ 180 - $ 450 |
| Gas geyser install | $ 750 - $ 2,400 |
| New gas reticulation (per metre) | $ 65 - $ 180 / m |
| Conversion (electric to gas) | $ 1,200 - $ 4,500 |
| Certificate of Compliance | $ 280 - $ 850 |
| Annual service (per appliance) | $ 220 - $ 480 |
Pricing shown in USD as a rough benchmark. Rates vary significantly by country, region, currency, and market.
Call-out fees
Always state the COC fee as a separate line. Customers expect to see it on the quote, and lumping it into labour invites disputes when the certificate is delivered.
Hourly vs fixed pricing
Use fixed pricing for installs and conversions because customers want certainty. Use hourly for repairs and diagnostic work. Always quote the certificate as its own line.

Common quoting mistakes
We talk to a lot of gas fitters. The same certificate, pipework, and deposit mistakes come up job after job. Fix these and your margin per install will lift noticeably.
Mistake: Certificate not on the quote
Better: Always quote the COC as a separate line. Customers expect it and lumping it into labour invites disputes.
Mistake: Pipework absorbed into labour
Better: Quote copper run by metre with fittings as their own line. Long runs deserve to be visible.
Mistake: No deposit on appliance orders
Better: Take 30 to 50 percent deposit on the appliance. You're financing the customer otherwise.
Mistake: Vague appliance specs
Better: List the brand, model, and capacity (e.g. Bosch 16L). 'A geyser' invites disputes; the model number doesn't.
Mistake: No allowance for hidden runs
Better: Add a contingency line for unexpected pipe routing through walls or ceilings. Easier to remove than to bolt on later.
Mistake: Skipping the disposal line
Better: Old geysers, stoves, and cylinders cost money to dispose of. Quote it.
Mistake: Verbal warranty terms
Better: State labour warranty (e.g. 12 months) and how the appliance manufacturer warranty works. Stops the 'I thought it was guaranteed' calls.
Mistake: No annual service contract upsell
Better: Quote an annual service alongside the install. Recurring revenue compounds and customers pay for safety.
Step by step
How to quote gas fitting work
Always survey on-site before locking a price. Pipe routing through walls and ceilings, gas point locations, ventilation requirements, and existing infrastructure all change the install time. A phone-quoted gas job goes wrong half the time.
Itemise the appliance, pipework, fittings, certificate, labour, and disposal as separate lines. Customers comparing gas fitters comparison-shop on appliance brand and certificate fee. Make both visible. Long pipe runs should always be priced per metre with fittings as a separate line so the customer understands the materials cost.
Take a deposit on every appliance order. Geysers, stoves, and cylinders are real cash you're putting on order for the customer. 30 to 50 percent deposit is standard. State the deposit terms on the quote so the cancellation conversation never happens.
Send via WhatsApp from the customer's home, follow up after a week. Gas customers compare 2 to 3 quotes. The first detailed quote with certificate, pipework, and warranty terms stated usually wins. Once accepted, take the deposit invoice the same day and order the appliance.
