It is normally considered that a quotation is a contracted price. If you buy a new car, and you are quoted a price to compare with elsewhere do you expect to be charged more when you say yes? Certainly not.
Dave, yes I used to think that but "supposedly" better knowledgeable legals than me have expressed the point to me.
In the real world I always give "estimates" but treat them as what you and me would think as what a "quotation" should mean.
Exception being for council contracts etc when they ask for "Fixed price works" or similar wording.
