Quoting from memory after a walk-round
You eyeball the walls, scribble measurements on a fag packet, then forget half of it by the time you price it up. Capture the survey and photos on site and turn them into a tidy quote in minutes.

Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches plasterers tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
No record when damp comes back
A skim blows or a render cracks and the customer blames you. Log your damp survey, scratch and skim coat records with photos so you have proof of exactly what you found and did.
Waiting weeks to get paid
The plaster's dry, the job's done, but the invoice is still in your head. Invoice the moment a job is signed off, take card or Direct Debit, and chase late payers automatically.

Common questions
Can I record damp surveys and coat sign-offs in Gaffer?
Yes. The Plasterer Trade Pack includes a damp survey, plus scratch coat, skim coat, rendering and ceiling works records you can complete on site with photos and store against the job and customer.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The field app is offline-first, so you can capture survey notes, coat records and photos in a 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.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most plasterers are up and running within a week. The Plasterer Trade Pack and quote templates are ready out of the box, so you can send your first quote on day one.
