# The quote app for electricians

Updated 1 October 2026 · UK rules · Not tax advice: check anything unusual with your accountant.

Rewires, consumer units, EV chargers and solar all need clear, itemised quotes. BrewQuote prices the job from your own list and gets the VAT right on the bits that are zero-rated.

## Quote an electrician job by voice

Say something like this into BrewQuote:

🎙 “Kitchen rewire. Two of us for two days, fourteen double sockets, new consumer unit, and cable, back boxes and sundries.”

And it writes a quote like this, using the prices in your own price list:

| Line | Type | Qty | Price | VAT | Amount |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Labour, 2 people × 2 days | labour | 4 | £250.00 | 20% | **£1,000.00** |
| Double socket, supply and fit | labour | 14 | £65.00 | 20% | **£910.00** |

| Cable, back boxes and sundries | materials | 1 | £400.00 | 20% | **£400.00** |
| **Subtotal** | **£2,730.00** |

## VAT, reverse charge and CIS for electricians

Solar panels and battery storage installed in homes are currently zero-rated as energy-saving materials, until 31 March 2027. From 1 April 2027 they're due to go to 5%. BrewQuote keeps track of the date for you.

Most other domestic electrical work, including rewires, consumer units and EV charge points, is standard-rated at 20% if you're VAT registered.

Subcontracting for a main contractor? The domestic reverse charge and CIS deductions on labour usually apply, and BrewQuote handles both.
