Help me reply to an enquiry that just says "how much?".

My business: [what you do]
Their message: [paste it]
My usual range for this kind of job: [e.g. from X to Y, or leave blank]
What I need to know to quote: [e.g. size, location, timing, photos]

If something essential is missing, ask me 1 or 2 short questions first. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A short, friendly reply with a rough range (or "from" price) and why it varies.
2. Three easy questions, or a request for photos.
3. A next step: a call, a visit or a firm quote.
4. A follow-up if they don't answer.

Helpful, not evasive, UK English.
