What should be included in a fixed heating quote
A fixed quote is only useful if it clearly states what it covers, since a total figure on its own tells you very little about the actual scope of work behind it. Knowing what to expect on the page helps you check it properly.
What we check first with a fixed heating quote
A clear quote sets out the specific appliance make and model, the labour and materials included, any additional items such as filters, scale protection or controls, warranty length and registration, whether removal and disposal of the old appliance is covered, and what — if anything — is excluded or treated as a variable subject to what is found once work starts.
What matters most with a fixed heating quote
- Appliance make and model should be stated explicitly, not left generic
- Included extras like filters or controls should be itemised
- Warranty length and registration process should be clear
- Removal and disposal of the old appliance should be confirmed either way
- Any exclusions or variables dependent on findings during work should be flagged
Where we deal with this
Who should undertake the work
- Gas appliance work must be completed by a suitably qualified Gas Safe engineer
- Oil appliance work should be completed by a suitably qualified OFTEC technician
- Jamie Crawford Heating states both Gas Safe and OFTEC registration
Straight answers on a fixed heating quote
The honest position: A properly structured quote leaves little to guesswork — appliance, inclusions, warranty and exclusions should all be clear on the page.

Questions we get asked
- What if something unexpected is found during the work?
- A clear quote should explain how any such findings are handled and communicated before extra work proceeds.
- Is VAT usually shown separately?
- This varies by supplier, so it's worth confirming how VAT is presented in any quote you're reviewing.
