Gaffer for
carpenters.
First fix, second fix, and a wardrobe somebody changed their mind about halfway through. A carpenter’s money leaks through variations nobody wrote down and materials nobody put on the invoice. Gaffer prices the timber specification into the quote, logs the extra door on the job the day it is asked for, and gets the fitted furniture record and snagging list signed. Quote, schedule, record the work, invoice and get paid — with the 16 trade documents carpenters 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 carpenters, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
16 trade documents ready for carpenters — 5 written for this trade, 11 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.
A run of fitted wardrobes, end to end

16 trade documents, ready for carpenters.
5 of them are written for this trade and 11 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.
