Price the elevation from a survey rather than a photograph, keep the quote alive while the customer thinks about it, and hold the house from the scaffold going up to the last trim.
Online booking
Customers take a survey slot from your actual diary. The cladding arrives as an enquiry with an address, since no elevation was priced from a photograph.

Batten, membrane, board, trim. A run of days with scaffold round it, so the job sits on the board as a block and moves as one when the weather closes in.
Learn moreThree ways to price one wall: overboard what is there, hang fibre cement weatherboard on treated battens, or go larch on a ventilated cavity.
Board area, strip-out and trims are separate lines, so when the customer queries the figure you can show them the part it came from.
They accept on their phone where they are standing, and the accepted quote turns itself into a booked run rather than a note to chase.
The quote goes out from the van, which tends to be before the next firm has rung the customer back at all.
Corner trims, a colour change, insulation behind the boards, soffits done while the scaffold is up. Each one moves the quoted total when the customer ticks it, so the quote does not need writing again.
Cladding books months ahead and the good enquiries arrive anyway. With nothing left to offer, the page takes the enquiry rather than losing it.
Address, elevation and what they are after, waiting in the inbox as a job without a date rather than a missed call.
Message, photographs and quote sit on the same job instead of spread across a phone and an email account.
A delivery slips and a fortnight appears. Offer the dates from inside the thread and it is booked without a second conversation.
The back wall of the house in Chorlton is past patching. What would the whole elevation look like, and when could you start?
Built for your trade
Priced by elevation with battens, membrane and trims as their own lines, so the customer can see what the finish costs against the frame behind it.
The commonest job on the book, and the one worth quoting in tiers, since the customer nearly always wants the front doing once they have seen the back.
Quoted per square metre with the adhesive, the slips and the pointing separated, because the slip choice is where the customer spends their evening.
Booked as a survey first. What is behind twenty-year-old shiplap decides the price, and nobody knows until a board is off.
Two trades, one scaffold, one booking. The days sit together on the board so the boards do not arrive a week before anyone can hang them.
A short job priced from the survey photos, on a house you may well have clad before, with the previous work on the same customer record.
Offered as an option on the live quote rather than a second visit, because the scaffold is the expensive part and it is already there.
A two-day job with a fixed shape, so it can carry a proper price on the quote instead of being talked through on the phone twice.
Comes in as an inspection, not a price. What the wind has done to the fixings is not something to guess at from the pavement.
A site measure carries a price and a slot, so it fills your diary while you are up a ladder. The elevation itself waits for a tape, and the page is honest about that.
A whole-wall number waits on a bank, an insurer or a committee. See which quotes were opened and which went quiet, so the one worth a call is obvious.
The house is open to the weather from the strip-out until the boards are closed up, so it is booked as the week it is rather than as an hour on a Tuesday.
This work is sold to a building, not to a person. The last elevation you did, what it came to and the soffits after it, all on the one record.
Boards do not go on a soaked wall. Drag the run to the following week and the customer hears about it without you ringing round.
Drag the whole thing on the timeline and the dates update wherever the customer reads them.
Moving your own work about your own week costs nothing. That is the diary rather than an upgrade.
On the way, on site, done. The customer living behind a membrane finds out without having to ask.
A fortnight on site and a load of boards has a sensible radius, and past it the job stops paying. Set what you cover and the page respects it.
Draw the area, set a radius from the yard, or list the postcodes. Outside it, no survey slots are offered at all.
If one gang works the town and one the county, each keeps its own area and the work falls to the right one.
Inside your area the price is the price. Nothing is quietly added for a longer run down the road.
A re-clad is a considerable sum in stages. Record cash and transfers by hand for nothing, or send a card link on Pro.
Mark it paid when the transfer arrives. That costs nothing on any plan and it always will.
Send a link the day the scaffold comes down, rather than posting an invoice and waiting for the post to do its work.
Part with the materials, the rest on completion. Staged requests come with Pro and go out after the job is booked.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
One app for the whole job
They can. The page offers survey slots from your real availability, and only to addresses inside the area you cover, drawn on a map, set as a radius or listed by postcode. The cladding work itself arrives as an enquiry rather than a booked slot.
One quote carries the tiers you actually offer, with extras such as trims, insulation or soffits as priced options. The customer chooses, signs on their phone, and the accepted quote becomes a booked run of days. Priced options come with Pro.
Put an expiry date on them. Board and timber prices move over a winter, and an expiry means a quote written in April sees itself out rather than being produced in November as though it still stood.
Yes. The job is booked as the run it is, and the whole block moves together when the weather stops you fixing. Moving your own work about your own week costs nothing on any plan.
Once the job is booked you can send a payment request, so part arrives with the materials and the rest on completion. Card payments come with Pro; cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free on any plan.
Yes. Invite the fixers, give each one a role with the appropriate permissions, and set individual weekly hours with date overrides for holidays and washouts.
