Gaffer for
bricklayers.
Bricklaying is priced by the thousand and paid by the stage, and the paperwork that actually bites is the silica COSHH record and the health surveillance behind it. Gaffer prices from your own rates, keeps the brickwork and repointing records on the job with photos of each lift, and raises the stage invoice as the work passes each stage. Quote, schedule, record the work, invoice and get paid — with the 16 trade documents bricklayers 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 bricklayers, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
16 trade documents ready for bricklayers — 6 written for this trade, 10 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.
Finished jobs surface follow-up work automatically — the room you did not do, the quote they never answered, the customer who has gone quiet.
Repointing a Victorian terrace, end to end

16 trade documents, ready for bricklayers.
6 of them are written for this trade and 10 are shared with others — an EICR is an EICR whoever issues it. Every one is a real digital form, not a blank template.
Each one is a proper digital form: the fields that document actually needs, signature capture, photo attachments, a PDF the customer can keep, and — where it has one — an expiry date Gaffer tracks. Completed on the phone, offline if it has to be.
