Roller Shutter Quote Form Template
A complete, copyable quote form template for Australian roller shutter installers — covering dimensions, wall type, motorisation options and photo requirements.
Roller Shutter Quote Form — 13 fields
Your name
e.g. Michael Chen
Why: Personalises follow-up from the first message.
Phone number
e.g. 0411 222 333
Why: Essential for fast follow-up — especially for security-driven, urgent jobs.
Email address
e.g. michael@email.com
Why: For sending the formal quote and any product documentation.
Suburb and postcode
e.g. Toowoomba QLD 4350
Why: Confirms serviceability and allows scheduling of the install crew.
Width of window or door opening
e.g. 900mm wide (or rough estimate)
Why: Width is the primary sizing variable for roller shutter barrel size and housing width.
Height of window or door opening
e.g. 1200mm high (rough is fine)
Why: Height determines slat quantity and total shutter curtain weight — both affect motor sizing and spring balance.
Number of windows or doors
e.g. 4 windows — 2 front and 2 rear bedrooms
Why: Each shutter is a separate product. Quantity discounts may apply and scheduling requires knowing the total scope.
Wall type
e.g. Brick veneer — external installation, or Double brick, or Weatherboard cladding
Why: Wall type determines the fixing method, housing style (surface vs built-in) and installation time.
Motorised or manual operation
e.g. Motorised — 240V power available at each window
Why: Manual vs motorised is the biggest single pricing variable after size. Power availability is essential for motorised jobs.
Photo — exterior of each window
Upload from phone — one photo per window if possible
Why: Shows the window size, wall type, sill projection and any external obstacles (air con units, pipes, etc.).
Primary purpose
e.g. Security, privacy, heat reduction, cyclone protection, noise reduction
Why: Purpose affects product specification — e.g. heavy-duty aluminium for security vs standard extruded for privacy.
Budget range
e.g. $4,000–$8,000 for all 4 windows, or no specific budget
Why: Matches product grade (standard vs premium aluminium, manual vs motorised) to customer budget.
Timeline
e.g. Within 4 weeks, or ASAP — rear windows are unsecured
Why: Urgency signals (security gaps, renovation deadlines) help you prioritise and communicate lead times accurately.
Notes for roller shutter installers
Roller shutter quotes require more structural information than most other installation products. Wall type, headroom clearance and power access are all necessary before you can confirm a price — and none of these are obvious from a basic contact form message.
Asking for photos of each window exterior eliminates most follow-up questions. A single photo shows wall type, window size, sill projection, any air conditioning units or pipes that affect housing placement, and the approximate headroom available above the window.
FAQ
What dimensions do I need from a roller shutter customer?▼
Width and height of each opening are the minimum. Width in millimetres is most important — it determines the barrel size and housing width. Height determines curtain length. Even rough tape-measure readings are useful and far better than no dimensions.
Does wall type matter for roller shutter quotes?▼
Yes significantly. Brick requires different fixings than timber or steel framing. Double brick may require longer screws and different housing installation. Surface mount vs built-in housing is also often determined by the wall construction.
How do I handle multi-window roller shutter jobs in a quote form?▼
Ask for the total number of windows and the dimensions of each (or a typical size if they're the same). A photo of each window eliminates most questions about individual openings.
