FAQ for UK painters & decorators

Can I quote by room or area?+
Yes. Build quotes by sections or rooms and include notes for materials and prep work, so the customer sees exactly what each part of the job covers.
Can customers approve quotes online?+
Yes. Send a quote link for fast online acceptance, and you are notified the moment they accept.
How do I bill snags and retouches?+
You can raise additional charges or a follow-on invoice against the original job, so retouches and snagging stay linked to the work they relate to.
Can I reuse quotes for similar jobs?+
Yes. Save common line items and pricing as templates so repeat jobs take a couple of minutes to quote.
Do I need to handle CIS?+
If you only do domestic work, usually not. If you subcontract on commercial or new-build sites, Traddie applies the correct CIS deduction and excludes materials automatically.
Can I take card payments?+
Yes. Send a card payment link with each invoice, and set up recurring invoicing for commercial maintenance contracts.
