Common questions
Do I need a contract for small jobs?
An accepted written quote with clear terms is often enough for small jobs. For bigger jobs, a full contract gives both sides more protection.
Is this legal advice?
No. The template is a practical starting point; for unusual or high-value contracts, get advice from a solicitor.
