Gaffer for
roofers.
Roofing is weather, scaffolding and working at height, and the paperwork reflects it. Gaffer keeps the scaffold inspections and working-at-height assessments on the job, reschedules a rained-off day by dragging it, and gets the invoice out while the customer can still see the new roof. Quote, schedule, record the work, invoice and get paid — with the 24 trade documents roofers 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 roofers, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
24 trade documents ready for roofers — 9 written for this trade, 15 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 re-roof, end to end
This is the shape of the work in Gaffer — the same job you already do, with the hand-offs taken off your plate.

24 trade documents, ready for roofers.
9 of them are written for this trade and 15 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.
