Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches handymen tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Forgetting to bill the little extras
A pack of fixings here, an hour over there — and it never makes the invoice. Record materials and time against the job as you go so you bill for everything you actually did.
No proof of what you did
A customer questions the work weeks later and you have nothing to show. Capture before-and-after photos and a signed handover record on every job.
Everything handymen need in one place
Job records & compliance
Job surveys, risk assessments, work records and handover sheets you complete on site and store against the job — including Part P minor works records.
Fast quoting
Saved templates and standard rates so quotes for repairs and small works go out from your phone in minutes.
Scheduling & dispatch
See your whole day at a glance, fit in last-minute call-outs without double-booking, and send "on my way" texts automatically.
Invoicing & payments
Turn a finished job into an invoice on the spot, take card or Direct Debit, and get paid faster.
Customer comms & reminders
Automatic appointment confirmations and follow-ups keep customers in the loop and bring repeat work back to you.
Offline mobile app
Capture records, materials and photos in a loft or basement with no signal — it all syncs the moment you are back online.

Common questions
Can I record a Part P minor works job in Gaffer?
Yes. The Handyman Trade Pack includes a Part P minor works record alongside job surveys, risk assessments and handover records, so notifiable small electrical works are documented and stored against the job.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The field app is offline-first, so you can capture job records, materials and photos with no signal and everything syncs once 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 at the end of the month.
How long does it take to get started?
Most handymen are up and running within a week. The 14-day free trial gives you full access with no card required, and the Handyman Trade Pack is ready to use out of the box.
