Gaffer for
scaffolders.
Every scaffold you leave standing needs inspecting within seven days and every seven days after that, on every site at once. Miss one and the handover record behind it is worth nothing. Gaffer keeps each scaffold as its own site with its TG20 compliance sheet and erection record, and puts the weekly inspection on the board so the count is never in somebody’s head. Quote, schedule, certify, invoice and get paid — with the 22 trade documents scaffolders 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 scaffolders, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
22 trade documents ready for scaffolders — 11 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.
Certificates and services with an expiry date become next year’s work. Gaffer texts the customer a booking link before it lapses.
A re-roof scaffold, end to end

22 trade documents, ready for scaffolders.
11 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.
