Gaffer for
paving and driveway specialists.
Everything that makes a driveway last is buried by the end of day two. When a block starts rocking in year three, the only defence is a photographed sub-base record and the drainage detail you actually laid. Gaffer keeps both on the job, files the SuDS compliance note a front drive needs, and logs a waste transfer note for every grab lorry that leaves. Quote, schedule, record the work, invoice and get paid — with the 12 trade documents paving and driveway specialists 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 paving and driveway specialists, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
12 trade documents ready for paving and driveway specialists — 6 written for this trade, 6 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 block-paved driveway, end to end

6 of them are written for this trade and 6 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.
