Gutter cleaning that books into a real gap, a roofline quote with three ways to go on it, and the invoice out before the ladder is back on the van.
Online booking
The first proper week of rain and every call is the same call. Put your terraced, semi and bungalow prices on a booking page and let people take real gaps.

There is no standing on a wet slate roof. Drag Tuesday onto Thursday, the customer is told, and the downpipe repairs you keep for days like this fill it.
Learn moreStoreys, roof type and whether the ladder can get down the side are questions with prices attached, not a five minute conversation. Ask them on the page, price it there, and hand over a slot you are genuinely free for.
Nobody books a full replacement online. They send a picture of water sheeting over the front door and ask what it would cost, and that picture wants to sit with the quote rather than in a phone in the van.
By the end of October there is nothing left in the diary and the calls keep arriving. The page does not simply go blank on them, it asks.
A request arrives with the address and the photo, so when a job falls through you know who to call back first.
Work needing a dry roof moves out and the downpipe repairs move in, without a message being sent by hand.
The page shows only genuine gaps, so a double booking made while you were up a ladder does not happen.
Water is pouring over the front door every time it rains. Photo attached. Can you look this week?
Roofline work is weather work, and the week you set out on Sunday evening is rarely the week you get. Moving it takes one drag.
Move a job to the next dry morning and the customer hears about it, without you working down a list of numbers.
Downpipe repairs and quotes done from the ground sit ready to fill a day the roof is out of the question.
Dragging work around the week costs nothing. Nothing on this panel sits behind a plan.
A leaking gable gutter is three jobs depending on the budget: clean and reseal, gutter and downpipe replacement, or the full fascia and soffit.
Leaf guard by the metre, an extra downpipe, seamless aluminium instead of uPVC: added as options, the total moves as they tick, so the step up is a figure rather than a conversation. Options are Pro.
Gutter by the metre, downpipes by the number, skip on its own line. The customer sees the shape of the job rather than one figure.
They accept on the phone while you are stood there, and the accepted quote becomes the job with nothing retyped.
Set the quote number once and it is fixed, so estimate, job and invoice carry the same reference when the agent asks.
What profile is up there, what colour it was matched to, which side had the rust and what you cleared last season all stay with the address. When the leaves drop, rebooking the street is reading rather than remembering.
A roofline price sits for a fortnight and you cannot tell a busy customer from a cold one. One of these has been read three times.
Cleans, downpipe repairs, site visits that are not billed as work and full replacements all sit in one list with their status on them, so the small jobs stop being the ones that get forgotten between the big ones.
Built for your trade
A cleaning job books into a real gap at your bungalow or two storey price, with the address, the roof type and the rear access note attached.
Rolled on site and priced by the metre, quoted beside the uPVC option on the same estimate so the customer picks rather than being talked into one.
Fascia, soffit, gutter run and skip as separate lines, and the accepted quote becomes the job with the profile and the colour already on it.
The small work that fills a wet week. Booked at a set price, kept against the property, and invoiced the same day rather than at month end.
Rotten timber rides along with a roofline quote as an option, priced once instead of turning into a phone call three weeks after the job.
A gutter torn off the gable overnight goes in as an urgent job at your call-out rate, with their photos attached to the request itself.
Replacement is off the table on a protected structure, so the bracket repairs, the joint reseal and the paint each get their own quoted line.
A list of properties cleaned on a repeat visit, every address and key note kept against the agent, so next winter is not a fresh set of questions.
Vents added by the metre on a replacement, with the photos of the damp attic sitting in the same thread as the estimate that fixes it.
Agents book the clean, the reseal and the touch-up before the surveyor calls, and the invoice goes to the agency rather than to the vendor.
Guttering is drive time with a ladder on the roof, and an hour of cleaning forty minutes out is a morning gone. Draw where you go.
An address you do not cover is offered nothing, so you are not ringing back to say no after a time has been picked.
Keep the far edge of the map for full roofline jobs and leave the cleaning rounds close to home.
A longer drive does not quietly add anything to the quote. What is shown on the page is what is paid.
Most of a cleaning round is cash or a transfer while you are coiling the hose. Record it as you go and the receipt sees itself out.
Mark the job paid on the spot on any plan. No reader, no waiting, no invoice going quietly unopened for a fortnight.
A pay link goes out with the invoice and the money lands in your own account. It is never held on the way through.
A full roofline can take part when the materials arrive and the rest on completion. Staged payments are Pro.

As you grow with us you can go Pro.
Everyone working on a construction site needs a valid SOLAS Safe Pass card. The SOLAS CSCS registration cards attach to named occupations, and the roofing one is roof and wall sheeting and cladding, not guttering or fascias. Bookables does not check or issue either. It keeps the job, the access notes and the photos in one place so what you agreed is on the record.
They can. Publish cleaning as a bookable job at your own price, set how long it really takes, and the page offers only slots you genuinely have free. Bungalow or two storey, slate or tile, and rear access can all be options, so the price shown is the price you arrive on.
Put both on the one estimate. The uPVC gutter run, the seamless aluminium run rolled on site, the downpipes, the fascia and the skip each get a line with quantity and rate, so the customer weighs the two themselves instead of over the phone.
Cash and bank transfer are free to record on any plan, which is most of a cleaning round. Cards, and splitting a full roofline into a payment when the materials land and the rest on completion, come with Pro.
Draw the towns you work as territories and the booking page offers nothing outside them. Keep the far edge for full roofline jobs only, so an hour of cleaning never turns into a morning on the motorway.
You decide. Turn tax on for the account and every estimate and invoice carries it consistently, or leave it off if you are not registered. The setting is the single source, so the quote and the invoice never disagree with each other.
