Gaffer for
fencing contractors.
Fencing is a boundary dispute waiting to happen. Half the jobs need a party wall notice or at least a neighbour who agrees where the line runs, and all of them need somebody to check what is buried before a post hole is dug. Gaffer keeps the boundary survey and the photos on the job, so the line you agreed is the line you can show. Quote, schedule, record the work, invoice and get paid — with the 12 trade documents fencing contractors 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 fencing contractors, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
12 trade documents ready for fencing contractors — 7 written for this trade, 5 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.

12 trade documents, ready for fencing contractors.
7 of them are written for this trade and 5 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.
