Roofers in East London — common questions
How do I write a quote as a roofer in East London?
List each item of work separately — labour and materials — with quantities and unit prices in rands. Add 15% VAT if you are VAT registered, include your validity period and payment terms, then send it as a branded PDF. SmartQuote does all of this from a roofer template so your East London job takes a couple of minutes to quote.
Do I have to charge VAT on my quotes?
Only if you are registered for VAT with SARS, which is compulsory once your turnover passes R1 million in any 12 months. If you are registered, show 15% VAT and your VAT number on the quote. If not, switch VAT off in Settings and your totals will print without it.
What should a roofer in East London include in a quote?
Your business details and VAT number, the client's details, a dated quote number, itemised roof sheeting work, the subtotal, VAT, total in ZAR, how long the price is valid, and your payment terms including any deposit.
How long should a quote stay valid?
Most Eastern Cape trades give 14 to 30 days. Material prices move, so state the validity clearly — SmartQuote adds it to every quote automatically.
Can I send quotes on WhatsApp?
Yes. Export the quote as a PDF and share it straight from your phone — that is how most East London clients prefer to receive quotes.
Do coastal conditions change my roofing quote?
Often yes — salt air near the coast means galvanised or chromadek upgrades. Add the upgrade as an optional line so the client can compare.
