Plan multi-coat and render jobs across days so curing time is built into the calendar.
Invoice when it is finished
Convert a completed job into an invoice on site with everything carried across automatically.
CIS handled automatically
Apply 20% / 30% CIS deductions on subcontract work, with materials excluded per HMRC rules.
Get paid faster
Send card payment links and chase overdue invoices without lifting a finger.
Pricing by the metre
The quote that looked fine until you were three days in
Plastering is priced by area and paid by the day, and the two only meet at the end of the week. A ceiling that takes a day longer than you allowed does not show up anywhere until the money is already spent.
The quote gets checked before it goes out
Traddie runs the quote against your own cost rates and tells you what is wrong with it: the estimated cost is above the quote value, the margin is under the target you set, labour is eating most of it, or you have not entered any materials at all. Every finding is advisory, so you can send it anyway, but not by accident.
- Your own labour cost rate and margin target, not a national average
- Warned when the labour rate is still zero, which is how a quote silently reads as pure profit
- Flagged when rough materials have not been entered
Invoice while you are still in the van
Finish, tap once, and the job becomes an invoice with materials and labour carried across. Send a card link and most people pay it the same day, which for a trade that gets paid per room rather than per project is the difference between a good month and a chased one.
What the day actually cost
Bags, beads and boards from receipts, against hours logged on the job and what you billed. Enough to know which kind of work is worth quoting for and which only looks worth it.
Subcontract work and CIS
Most plastering for a builder is subcontract. Traddie applies the right 20% or 30% deduction, excludes materials per HMRC rules, and produces payment and deduction statements rather than you working it back at year end.
The chasing happens without you
A reminder before the due date, then nudge, firm and final on a ladder you set. On commercial work, late-payment interest and the statutory fee can be added, because you are entitled to them and almost nobody asks.
The small things that keep the week paying
Plastering is a lot of small jobs and a lot of small invoices. The admin is not hard, it is just relentless, and that is exactly what should be automatic.
The quote check runs before you send
Cost above value, margin under target, labour eating the job, no materials entered, a labour rate still at zero.
Photograph the receipt
Snap it at the merchant counter and it lands on the job as an expense, rather than fading in the footwell until year end.
Invoice from the finished job
One tap turns the work you logged into an invoice with a card link on it, before you have left the drive.
The customer keeps their history
What you did, when, and what you charged. Builders ring back, and knowing last year’s rate is worth having.
Chasing on a ladder you set
Reminder, nudge, firm, final. You stop being the one who has to ask twice.
Your own merchant prices
Upload a supplier price list so material costs come from what you actually pay, not a guess.

Review requests
A day after an invoice is paid the customer gets one message asking for a Google review, with your link in it.
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
