Gaffer for
joiners.

A joiner’s day is split between the workshop and the site, and the money goes missing between the two: hours in the shop nobody costed, a staircase specified one way and fitted another. Gaffer puts the fabrication record and the timber specification on the same job as the install, with the shop hours on the time clock and the finishing record signed at handover. Quote, schedule, record the work, invoice and get paid — with the 15 trade documents joiners 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.

Certificates & forms

15 trade documents, ready for joiners.

5 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.
