Enquiries that arrive with the surface

Two photos and a rough size is not a quote. Your page asks what the metal is and what is on it before any of it turns into a booked job.

Smart scheduling

Yard days and farm days on one board

Work brought into the yard and work you take the truck out to sit on the same week, so the pot is not promised in two places at once.

Details & photos assessment

The pot is out for a fortnight.

Blasting books out in blocks rather than hours. When there is nothing left this month the page still takes the enquiry, photos included.

  • It asks the awkward questions

    What the metal is, a rough size, how many coats and whether anyone has blasted it before. All of it arrives before you write a number.

  • The photos land on the job

    The hole under the enamel is on the record from the first message, which saves a conversation held with the pot already unloaded.

  • One place to reply from

    The enquiry and the quote you sent back sit together, so nothing goes missing three screens into a thread on the other phone.

A booking request inside a message thread, answered with accept or decline without leaving the conversation.

Trailer chassis back to bare steel. Photos of the pitting attached, plus what I think is on it. Can you price soda and grit both ways?

A set of farm gates, stripped and primed.

Two ways to do the same gates: a soda strip that leaves the metal alone, or a grit blast that cuts a key for the primer.

  • Priced off the metal, not a hunch

    Metres, media, primer and containment are separate lines, so a query about the price is answered by pointing at the part it came from.

  • Containment is a line, not a courtesy

    Sheeting, shrouding and taking spent media away is quoted where the customer can see it, which is the only way it is ever paid for.

  • Sent before you leave the gate

    The quote goes from the phone while you are still parked outside, which tends to be before the next crowd has rung them back.

  • Media and extras priced as options · Pro

    Containment, spent media taken away, a coat of primer before it leaves the yard, collection and return. Each is a priced option, and ticking one moves the quoted total rather than starting a further phone call.

A boat trailer restoration, itemised with options and ready to send.

Outdoor blasting stops when the weather comes in and the week shuffles behind it. Drag the job to Thursday and everyone behind it hears.

One record, first photo to final coat.

What the substrate is, what came off it, which media you used and what it cost, all on the job rather than in a folder on the office phone.

Built for your trade

Built for the surfaces you actually strip

Farm gates and railings

A trailer load at a time, brought into the yard so the media can be contained. Priced per gate rather than by the metre.

Slurry tankers and machinery

Winter work when the gear is standing idle. Quoted as one job with a run of lines rather than six separate conversations.

Oil tanks and steel tanks

Exterior rust taken back and primed on the same visit, where the sheeting around it decides as much of the price as the tank does.

Georgian brick and cut stone

Paint off an old front without opening up the mortar. Low pressure, slow going, and quoted by the day rather than the metre.

Wrought iron and church railings

Old coatings off ironwork on site, with the shrouding and the footpath permission part of the quote from the start.

Chassis and classic bodywork

Soda on panels, grit on the rails. The owner mentions two coats and there are usually five underneath them.

Structural steel for a builder

Beams and columns blasted before the coating crew arrives, where access and containment set the number well before the tonnage does.

Boat trailers and marine steel

Salt gets under the paint and stays there. Back to bare steel, primed the same day, and priced off the length.

Timber beams and floors

Soda at low pressure to lift limewash and old paint off oak without raising the grain. Priced by the day, not the board.

Graffiti off brick and render

Tags taken off a wall without ghosting it, priced off the area and the substrate rather than off the photo that was sent in.

The shop that sends you work every winter.

Every job you have blasted for them, what was on the steel last time and the rate you gave, on one card instead of in last year's book.

A list of quotes showing whether each is sent, viewed or accepted, and when it was last opened.

The soda quote they never came back on.

Two media, two prices, and then silence. See which quote was opened and which was signed, so you know whether to order the pallet or make the call.

Pro

Paid for the blast, without the chase.

The media is bought before the job and the money ought not arrive a month after it. Record cash and transfers free, or take cards on Pro.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark the job paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and it is not going to start costing something.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send a card link when the gates go back on their hinges. The money goes to your account rather than sitting in ours on the way.

  • Ask for part of it early

    Once the job is booked you can request part before the pallet of grit is ordered and the rest on completion. Staged requests come with Pro.

How far the truck sensibly goes.

Half this trade comes into your yard and half of it does not. Set what the truck covers and a job two counties out cannot book itself in.

  • Draw the patch around the yard

    Addresses outside it hear so straight away rather than a week later, which suits them and suits you rather more.

  • Drop-off work travels nowhere

    Yard jobs book to your address rather than theirs, so they are never counted against a day the truck is already out.

  • Same rate across the patch

    Inside your area the price is the price. Bookables does not quietly add anything on for a longer run out.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your sandblasting business.

Scheduling

Blast days, primer windows and the run out to the farm sit on one board, so the pot and the compressor are never promised to two jobs at once.

Bookings

One record per job, from the photos on the first enquiry through the soda-or-grit decision to the day the gates go back on their hinges.

Online booking

Send blasting to a details-and-photos request rather than a straight booking, since nobody has ever priced four coats of enamel off a thumbnail.

Inbox

Messages, the quote you sent back and the photos of the pitting all sit on the job, rather than across a text thread and two separate phones.

Estimates

Quote the way you price it: metres of steel, the media in use and the containment, each on its own line with the total sitting underneath.

Customers

The engineering shop that sends you gear every winter keeps one card, with every job you have done, the rate you gave and what was on it.

Territories

Set what the truck covers and what it does not, so an address two counties past the last decent job never books itself into your week.

Team

Add whoever is on the gun and whoever is on the pot, hand them the day, and keep the money screens to whoever does the invoicing.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer you record by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money lands in your account.

Common questions.

Yes. Route blasting to a details-and-photos request rather than an instant booking and set the questions yourself: what the metal is, a rough size, what is on it and whether it has been blasted before. The enquiry then arrives with enough to price.

They can. Both go on as options with their own prices and the total moves when the customer chooses one. The option they signed for is on the record, rather than in a conversation the two of you recall differently.

Yes, each with a quantity and a rate. Sheeting a yard, shrouding railings over a footpath and taking spent media away is real labour and a real disposal cost, and breaking it out is the only way it is not absorbed.

Once the job is booked you can send a payment request for part of it and another for the balance on completion. Staged requests and card payments come with Pro. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand cost nothing on any plan.

It does. Drop-off jobs are booked to your own address, so they take no travel and do not count against the day the truck is out. Service areas then govern only the work that actually goes somewhere.

Drag the job to another day and everyone booked behind it is told. Moving work around the day sits on every plan, including the free one, which is the least a diary can do in this weather.
