The emergency
Nobody plans a blocked drain
Drainage arrives as a phone call from somebody standing in something unpleasant. There is no quote, no scope, and no chance to go home and type one up. Then the same customer needs a planned survey six months later, and nobody remembers to ask.
Scope it on arrival and price it there
Look at it, then build the quote on your phone with plant and labour on separate lines and send it for acceptance while you are still on the drive. The accepted quote becomes the job and the job becomes the invoice, so the same figures are typed once.
What you found, written down properly
A visit report per job recording what you did, what you used and what the site needs next, as a PDF the customer or the agent can actually read. On a survey, that report is the product, not the invoice.
The repair after the survey gets priced and agreed
Survey turns up a collapsed section, so raise a variation against the same job, price it, and send a link. The customer approves a gross figure and that exact number lands on the invoice, agreed before the excavator turns up.
Agents and property managers, one invoice a month
Put a managing agent on monthly consolidated billing and every completed unbilled job rolls into one draft invoice on their billing day, a section per job. One invoice from you, one payment from them.
Planned maintenance that comes back round
Commercial drainage is a maintenance duty, not a one-off. Traddie chases the work itself rather than only certificates, so a planned clean or survey from eleven months ago comes back with a message ready to send.
The small things that save you a second trip
Drainage is unplanned work with planned work hiding inside it. These make sure the second one actually gets asked for.
Price it on the drive
Quote on your phone with plant and labour separated, and send it for acceptance before you have unloaded.
A variation takes a minute
Price the repair the survey found, send the link, and have it agreed in writing before you dig.
One invoice a month per agent
Completed jobs roll into a single draft on their billing day, a section per job, ready to review and send.
The site keeps its history
What you found last time, what you did about it and what you charged, which is exactly what an agent asks on the phone.
Planned work asks for itself
A survey or a clean from last year comes back round with the message already drafted.
Photograph the receipt
Snap it at the counter and it lands on the job rather than fading in the van.

Invoice chasing
A reminder before the due date, then nudge, firm and final letters on a ladder you set. Late-payment interest and the statutory fee can be added for business customers.
Lead auto-reply
A new enquiry from your website or booking page gets an instant reply with your availability while you are still on the tools.
Review requests
A day after an invoice is paid the customer gets one message asking for a Google review, with your link in it.
Appointment reminders
Customers get a text or email the day before so you stop turning up to empty houses.
Accounting sync
Invoices, payments and expenses land in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or FreeAgent as they happen, VAT and CIS included.
Every automation is off until you switch it on, and each one has a test-send so you can see exactly what the customer gets. See how chasing works
