Gaffer for
aerial and satellite installers.
Aerial work is half an hour on a roof and a surprising amount of paperwork on the way down: a signal test, an earthing and bonding certificate under CAI COP 3, and a working at height permit for the tower. Gaffer puts all three on the phone, emails the customer a branded PDF, and keeps the communal system compliance certificate where the managing agent can be sent it again next year. Quote, schedule, certify, invoice and get paid — with the 20 trade documents aerial and satellite installers actually use already in the account.
Where two names look alike they are different documents — a notification is not the certificate that follows it, and two schemes covering the same work each want their own form. If you think one is missing, or that one of these is redundant, say so and we will change the pack.
Priced quote templates for aerial and satellite installers, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
20 trade documents ready for aerial and satellite installers — 11 written for this trade, 9 shared with others — filled in on the phone, signed on site and emailed as a PDF before you leave.
One tap raises the invoice from the accepted quote, nets off the deposit and sends a Pay Now link. Reminders chase for you.
Certificates and services with an expiry date become next year’s work. Gaffer texts the customer a booking link before it lapses.
