Extra work and periodicals quoted from your price book

Carpet extraction, strip and seal, high dusting and glass: lines from your catalogue with the finding in the note, approved when they're big and signed online.

QuoteCloud quotes extra and periodical cleaning work from your product catalogue: carpet extraction, strip and seal, grout cleans, high dusting and glass as lines with the audit finding or location in the note, options the client can tick, approval on larger quotes (Business) and an online signature, with a payment on signing if you want one.

Last reviewed by the QuoteCloud team

An engineered drawing of the Level 3 carpet traffic lanes at Halden House for a fictional contractor, Pellucid Facility Services: 35 by 12 metres, 420 m², between the lift core and the kitchen, hatched where the October audit scored them 72%. The extraction machine's passes stripe the lane while a quote card prices the work: carpet hot-water extraction, 420 m² at $3.20 a m², $1,344; then strip and seal $480, washroom grout $414 and high-level dusting $408, a total of $2,910.60 including tax, approved by the operations director Mara Quinlan because it is over $2,000, and signed by Clare Whitcombe.

Four kinds of extra work, quoted the same way

Lines from your price book with the location or the finding in the note, options the client can tick, and a signature before the crew is booked.

A one-off clean, paid when it's signed

An end-of-lease clean for a tenant handing back their suite. They're not a contract client, so the quote takes full payment on signing through Stripe.

  • Payment on signing via Stripe or PayPal
  • Deposit or full payment, as a % or fixed amount
  • No instalments or reminders

Every account manager prices from the same book

Load your extra-work rates into the product catalogue once: carpet extraction and grout cleans by the square metre, high dusting by the hour, upholstery by the chair. Account managers add lines from it instead of guessing.

Your cost and margin sit beside each item for your team and never appear in the client's quote.

Why extra work gets lost, and how it stops

The margin in a cleaning contract is often in the work outside it.

  • Agreed in a corridor

    A site manager asks for a carpet clean in passing. Quote it the same day from the price book, while they still remember asking.

  • Found in an audit

    A finding outside the scope becomes a line in an extra-work quote, linked from the monthly report.

  • Signed on site

    The site manager can sign on your tablet during the visit; signing in person on the sender's device is supported.

  • Followed up

    Tracking shows when the quote was opened, so you know when to call.

  • Approved when it's big

    Quotes over your limit go to your approver first (Business).

  • Invoiced from your accounts

    Xero or QuickBooks Online, native on Business, otherwise through Zapier.

Big quotes go past your operations director first

Set an approval rule on total value or discount. Halden House's October extra work is $2,910.60, so it goes to Mara before Clare sees it; a $400 bin bay wash-down goes straight out.

The approver sees the quote, the trigger and the log, and approves or declines it.

From a request to signed extra work

How an account manager quotes extra and periodical cleaning in QuoteCloud.

  1. Start from a template

    Your extra-work quote template, with your terms and booking notes.

  2. Add lines

    Items from your price book, with the area and the location in each line.

  3. Offer options

    Add optional lines the client can tick, such as external glass.

  4. Approve if needed

    Over your limit, it goes to your approver first (Business).

  5. Sign and book

    The client signs online or on your tablet, with a payment on signing if you want one.

Extra work: questions

Can clients choose which periodicals they want?

Yes. Add optional lines the client ticks before signing, such as external glass, and the totals and tax update as they choose.

Can we take payment on signing for one-off cleans?

Yes, on Essentials and up. Set a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, or full payment, and the client pays through Stripe or PayPal when they sign. QuoteCloud doesn't take instalments or send payment reminders.

Can we price by the square metre?

Yes. Keep rates per square metre, hour or chair in your product catalogue and put the area and rate in the line, as in carpet hot-water extraction, 420 m² at $3.20 a m². Cost and margin stay hidden from the client.

Does QuoteCloud book the crew?

No. QuoteCloud gets the extra work quoted, approved and signed. Booking the crew stays in whatever you use to schedule work today; Zapier can pass the signed quote to it.

Can the site manager sign on our tablet?

Yes. Signing in person on the sender's device is supported, so a site manager can sign during the visit. The signed quote carries a certificate of authenticity and audit trail.
