Survey notes that never make it to a report

Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches damp proofers tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Quotes go out too slow
Homeowners and surveyors chase three estimates and pick the quickest. Send a tidy damp proofing quote from your phone the same day and win more treatment work.
Guarantees with no paper trail
A 20- or 30-year guarantee is only as good as the records behind it. Store the treatment record, COSHH details and photo evidence against every job so the proof is always there.
Everything damp proofers need in one place
Survey & treatment records
Site surveys, dampness diagnosis reports and treatment records completed on site — no re-typing back at the office.
Fast quoting
Saved templates and per-metre pricing so rising and penetrating damp quotes go out the same day as the survey.
Scheduling & dispatch
See every technician's day, plan drying times between visits, avoid double-booking and send "on my way" texts automatically.
Invoicing & payments
Turn a completed treatment into an invoice instantly and take card or Direct Debit to get paid faster.
Customer comms & reminders
Keep homeowners updated through the job and automatically chase outstanding quotes and invoices.
Offline mobile app
Record readings, COSHH details and photos in a basement or empty property with no signal — it all syncs later.

Common questions
Can I produce a dampness diagnosis report in Gaffer?
Yes. The Damp Proofer Trade Pack includes site survey, dampness diagnosis and treatment record workflows you can complete on site and store against the job and customer, ready to back up any guarantee you issue.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The field app is offline-first, so you can record moisture readings, COSHH details and photos in a cellar or empty property with no signal, and everything syncs when you are back online.
Will it connect to my accounting software?
Yes. Invoices and customers sync with Xero and QuickBooks, so there is no double entry between your job records and your books.
How long does it take to get started?
Most damp proofers are up and running within a week. The Damp Proofer Trade Pack is ready out of the box, so you can send your first survey and quote on day one with no setup fees.
