Why UK electricians are switching to AI quoting
The average UK electrician spends between 45 minutes and two hours per week writing up quotes. That's time spent at home in the evening, on a laptop, working out labour costs and materials for jobs you did earlier in the day. For sole traders and small contractors, that admin time is effectively unpaid work.
The bigger problem is speed. A homeowner who gets a quote within an hour of your visit is far more likely to accept it than one who waits two days. Research consistently shows that the first professional quote a customer receives has the highest chance of winning the job. Zipflow lets you send a quote before you've driven away from the property.
Zipflow was built with UK electricians specifically in mind. The AI understands the language of electrical work — it knows what a consumer unit upgrade involves, it understands the difference between a full rewire and a partial rewire, and it knows to ask about testing and certification when relevant.
Electrical jobs Zipflow handles automatically
Zipflow detects over 200 specific electrical task types and generates accurate itemised quotes for all of them. Common jobs include:
Built for sole traders and small electrical contractors
Zipflow is not enterprise software with a six-month onboarding process. It's built for the electrician who works alone or with one or two other people, who quotes five to fifteen jobs a week, and who wants to spend less time on paperwork and more time on the tools.
There's no complicated setup. You sign up, add your business details and your labour rate, and you're ready to quote. Your first professional quote can be sent within five minutes of signing up. Most electricians using Zipflow save between five and eight hours of admin time per month — more than enough to justify the cost several times over.
Zipflow also keeps a record of every quote and job, so you can track which quotes were accepted, follow up on outstanding ones, and generate invoices from accepted jobs with a single tap. Your accountant gets a CSV export covering all invoices, VAT and revenue — ready for Xero, FreeAgent or HMRC.
Pricing and what you get
Zipflow costs £12.99 per month or £99 per year — less than the profit on a single socket installation. There is a full 30-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can generate real quotes for real customers and make sure it works for you before you commit to anything.
The trial includes full access to every feature — voice input, AI quote generation, customer sending, job tracking, scheduling and invoice generation. Nothing is locked behind a higher tier.
