Everything a roofer needs in one app
From the first quote to the final payment, Traddie keeps your whole job in one place.
Quote repairs and re-roofs
Itemise materials, labour, scaffolding and access as separate lines, and send a clear quote the customer can accept online.
Reschedule around the weather
Move jobs and reassign teams in seconds when the forecast turns, and keep everyone updated.
Photos and reports with the job
Attach before-and-after photos and condition notes, useful for insurance and remedial work, straight to the job and invoice.
Invoice the same day
Turn a finished re-roof into an invoice on site, with materials and labour carried across automatically.
Get paid without chasing
Send a card link with every invoice and let automatic reminders chase the slow payers for you.
What you find when you strip it
The job you quoted is not the job you found
You price a roof from the ground and a photo. Then the felt comes off and there are eleven rotten battens and a purlin nobody could see. Getting paid for that is the whole game, and it is what Traddie is built around.
Price the extra from the scaffold and get it agreed
Raise a variation against the job, price the battens and the timber, and send the customer a link. They approve a gross figure on a public page and that exact number lands on the invoice. The conversation happens while the roof is open, not when the bill arrives.
- A one-time cryptographic token, not a guessable link
- Expires after 30 days so a stale price cannot be approved later
- Approved extras become invoice lines automatically
Deposit up front, because you buy the materials
Tiles, lead and scaffold hire all get paid for before you earn anything. Set a deposit on the quote as a percentage or a flat sum, take it by card, and the final invoice arrives with it already netted off.
Check the margin before it goes out
Roofing is priced on area and wastage, and a wrong allowance is invisible until the job is finished. Traddie checks the quote against your own cost rates and flags the estimated cost being above the quote value, the margin sitting under your target, or no materials being entered at all.
What the roof actually cost you
Materials from receipts and purchase orders against labour actually logged on site, compared with what you billed. Enough to know which kind of roof is worth quoting for and which one only looks profitable.
The photos live on the job
Before, during and after, attached to the job rather than scattered across a camera roll. It is the difference between a defect argument you win and one you settle.
The small things that keep a roof profitable
Roofing loses money in two places: work you did and never charged for, and materials you bought and never recovered. Both are admin problems, not skill problems.
A variation takes a minute
Price it on the scaffold, send the link, carry on. The customer agrees it in their own time and the number is committed on both sides.
The quote check runs before you send
Cost above value, margin under target, labour eating the job, no materials entered. It looks at the numbers while you can still change them.
Photograph the merchant invoice
Scan a supplier invoice against its purchase order rather than keying it, so what you ordered and what you were charged are actually compared.
Deposit, then final, netted off
The final invoice already knows what was paid up front, so nobody works out the balance twice.
The property keeps its history
What you did to that roof, when, and what you charged. Useful when they ring three winters later about a different slope.
Chasing on a ladder you set
A reminder before the due date, then nudge, firm and final, with late-payment interest and the statutory fee available on commercial work.
Why UK roofers choose Traddie
Practical for roofing crews
Roofing is weather-driven, access-heavy and often insurance-led. Traddie keeps the commercial side flexible so a changed forecast does not become a billing mess.
- Keep before-and-after photos and condition reports with each job for insurance and storm-damage claims.
- Quote scaffolding and access as their own lines so the customer sees the full cost clearly.
- Apply 20% / 30% CIS deductions automatically when you subcontract, with materials excluded per HMRC rules.
- Reschedule and reassign weather-affected jobs without losing the quote or invoice trail.
- Track turnover against the £90k VAT threshold as the business grows.
Prove you are covered before you get on site
Commercial clients and main contractors want your public liability and your cards before the scaffold goes up. Keep them in one place and send one link.
- Store public liability, employers’ liability, CSCS cards, waste carrier registration and trade body membership with their expiry dates, and get a reminder before any of them lapse.
- Send one revocable link instead of emailing the same PDFs to every new client.
- Nothing on it is labelled verified, because Traddie has not verified it: a row is either checkable, with a deep link to the official register, or self-declared with your own document attached.
- Expired credentials never render, on the page or in the footer of a quote.
It is a way to hand over what you hold, not a claim that anybody has checked it for you. Expiry reminders for both
