The bench and the van in one diary, fabrication quoted in the finish the customer chooses, and call-outs that cannot book outside the area you cover.
Online booking
A dropped hinge or a sheared bracket carries a price you already know, so it takes the next genuine gap without the yard phone ringing.

Workshop time sits beside the call-outs, so a railing fit is never offered on a morning the bench is already committed.
Learn moreA workshop job and two call-outs are the same Tuesday, not two diaries. One board holds both, so an install is never promised on a morning the bench already owns.
A hinge, a tow hitch, a cracked bracket. Work you can price without seeing it goes on your page and takes the next real gap on its own.
The one railing gets written three ways: painted mild steel, hot-dip galvanised, or stainless for the coast. Price it once and let them choose.
They can see what the metal cost and what the work cost, so any question is about one line rather than the whole figure.
They accept and sign on the phone, and the fit day lands on the board without the job being written out twice.
The quote goes from the van while you are still at the gate, usually before the next fabricator has rung them back.
Galvanised rather than painted, stainless rather than galvanised, a powder coat, an extra return at the steps. Each carries its own price and moves the total when it is ticked, so nothing is written twice.
The merchant is short and Thursday is gone. Move the fit, and the customer hears before they take a day off for it.
Pick the job up and put it on a day that works. The board rebuilds around it and the history stays with the job.
Move the fit and the reminder moves with it, so nobody is standing at a gate on the old date.
Moving your own work around your own week has never been the part anyone pays for.
Driveway gate has dropped and the hinge is torn out of the post. Can you look at it in Ranelagh this week?
Fabrication backs up, especially in silage season. When nothing is bookable this month, the page says so and takes the enquiry anyway.
Two workplaces need two sets of hours. Set them per welder and the board stops offering a call-out to the one who is fabricating all week.
A fabrication quote sits on a builder's phone beside two others. See what has been read and what has been signed, so the one worth a call is obvious.
Every job in one place whether it happens at the bench or at an address, with what it is, when it is and what it is worth on the row. No second book for the workshop.
Built for your trade
A run of gates and penning quoted off the measurements from the yard, with the steel and the fabrication hours kept apart.
Seasonal work that arrives all at once. The page offers the week you are genuinely free rather than the one you are hoping for.
Measured on site, quoted in three finishes on one document, signed online, and on the board as a fit day when it comes back.
The builder sends the engineer’s drawing to the job, and the steel, the cutting and the delivery sit on the quote as their own lines.
Sheet, folding and the fit-out day priced separately, so a question at the end is about one line and not the whole total.
Repeat batch work for the same contractors, with everything you have made for them on the one customer card.
A survey visit first and the quote after it, both sitting on one job record instead of a photo and a note somewhere else.
Fixed-price repair work booked off your page, with the vehicle and the date on the job before it comes into the yard.
Call-outs booked only inside the area the van covers, with the address on the job and one rate right across the patch.
The job that jumps everything. Drop it into the day, push what it displaced, and both customers hear about it the same minute.
The gate is hung and it has been looked over. That is the moment to ask, rather than a month after an invoice went in the post.
Mark the job paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and is not going to change.
Send a card link from the job before you leave, and the receipt sees itself out.
Ask for the steel first and the rest on the day. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is booked.
Two counties over and a short repair has eaten the day. Set the areas you cover and the page will not take work beyond them.
Draw what the van covers. An address outside it hears so at once rather than a week later.
Anything dropped in to the workshop is not gated by an area. Only the call-outs are.
Inside the area the price is the price. Bookables adds nothing quietly for a longer drive.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.

One app for the whole job
Yes. The work you can price without seeing it takes a set price and books itself. Gates, railings and yard work come in as an enquiry and become a quote, so you are never held to a figure you did not write.
Yes. Workshop days and call-outs sit on the same board, so an install cannot be promised on a day the bench already owns. If the steel is late, move the fit on a week and the customer is told.
Yes. Quote painted mild steel and put hot-dip galvanised and stainless beside it as priced options, which matters on a wet coast. Ticking one moves the total. Priced options come with Pro.
Yes. Draw the areas the van covers and an address beyond them cannot book a call-out. Inside the area the rate is the rate, since Bookables adds nothing for a longer drive, and drop-offs at the yard are not gated at all.
Mark it paid when the transfer lands, which is free on any plan, or send a card link from the job before you leave the yard. Cards come with Pro, and you can ask for the material first and the balance at fit.
No. Bookables holds the job, the quote and the money, and nothing else. Your procedures, your certs and any engineer sign-off stay with the bodies that issue them, which is where a customer will look for them.
