Roofing Quote Template – Structure and Key Elements

What a roofing quote should contain

A roofing quote needs to detail the work, quantities and unit prices while meeting Belgian legal requirements (see the official VAT guide). Using a consistent template helps clients compare proposals easily.

Recommended structure

Organise the quote into five main sections. Each section should list the work, quantities, unit prices and any mandatory legal mentions.

1. Demolition and preparation

• Remove existing roof covering (specify type: tiles, slates, membrane).
• Inspect the load‑bearing structure (rafters, joists).
• Arrange disposal of construction waste (state whether a container is provided).
• State the surface area in square metres.

2. Insulation

• Indicate the insulation material (e.g., PUR, PIR, mineral wool, cellulose).
• Provide thickness, thermal resistance (R‑value) and any required vapour barrier (type and brand).
• Verify that the R‑value complies with current regional regulations; consult the official VAT portal for up‑to‑date references.

3. Under‑lay and roof covering

• Describe the under‑lay (e.g., breathable foil, brand).
• List the roof covering type (concrete tiles, clay tiles, slates, EPDM, etc.), colour and model.
• Quote tiles per piece or per m² for pitched roofs; quote covering per m² for flat roofs.

4. Edge and drainage details

• Roof gutters (material: zinc, aluminium, PVC), dimensions and down‑spouts.
• Zinc edge work (valley gutters, ridges, connections).
• Roof windows or skylights, if applicable.

5. Safety and scaffolding

• Scaffolding or roof‑edge protection required.
• Rental period and associated costs.
• Safety measures that will be implemented on site.

Checklist for client comparison

• Price per square metre
• Insulation type, thickness and R‑value
• Brand and model of roof covering
• Inclusion of scaffolding or safety equipment
• Warranty terms (clearly stated)

Warranty information

Include the warranty you provide for:

• Water‑tightness of the roof (state the period you guarantee).
• Manufacturer’s warranty on roofing materials (quote the period indicated by the supplier).

Clear warranty details help build trust and reduce the risk of disputes.

From template to digital quote

You can keep the template in a word processor or a quotation‑management system. When creating a new quote:

1. Select the roofing template.
2. Enter the specific surface area and chosen materials.
3. Use the system or a spreadsheet to calculate VAT automatically and add a digital signature field.

A digital workflow supports the transition from quote to invoice and aligns with Belgian e‑invoicing requirements that have been in force since 1 January 2026 (see the official e‑invoicing site).
