A blocked drain finds a slot without ringing

Callouts, CCTV surveys and jetting sit on a page with your genuine availability. Someone standing over a surcharging chamber picks a time instead.

Smart scheduling

Move the one job, not the whole afternoon

Drag the emergency into the gap between two surveys. The van sees the change before the reel comes off. Nobody rings round to explain.

The choke that rings before you have opened the gate.

Sewage does not wait for office hours. Your booking page takes the callout at your attendance rate and puts it in the run before anyone has picked up a phone.

  • Attendance charged, then the hour

    Set what turning up costs and what the hour after it costs, so the price is settled before the chamber lid is off.

  • The photo comes with the job

    What is coming up the gully, where the chamber is, whether the truck will get down the side. On the booking, not in a text you lose.

  • Out of hours is a different price

    Bookable hours are the ones you actually answer, and an emergency rate is an option on the service rather than a second business.

When a wet week takes the whole diary.

Two days of rain and every chamber in the postcode surcharges at once. That is the week your page has nothing left on it and people ring the next name.

  • Full says full

    No slots left reads as booked rather than broken, so the customer asks to go on the list instead of going elsewhere.

  • The urgent ones still land

    A surcharging chamber arrives as a message with the address and photograph attached, and you answer it between jobs.

  • The quiet week fills itself

    Surveys and lining quotes that can wait book into the following week, so the lull after the rain is not an empty diary.

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

The same junction, for the third time.

Two clears and a camera run against one address. That history is what turns a cut-the-roots-again call into a lining quote they say yes to.

A day on the schedule where one job is dragged from one time to a later one and snaps into place on the grid.

The diary rarely lasts until lunch.

One clear turns into a collapse and everything behind it moves. Perfectly normal, and the calendar should not make a fuss.

A map with three service areas shaded over a street grid, and a list of territories beneath, each a group of counties with its crew.

The patch the van actually covers.

The map suggests half an hour. With a jetting unit behind you and a tanker to meet, it rather does not.

The quote that lands after the next storm.

Nobody signs off a reline the day they get it. See which ones have been opened, and which address is one wet week away from ringing you back.

Every job on the truck

From a blocked gully to a new connection

Blocked toilets and surcharging chambers

Books as an urgent callout with an attendance charge and an hourly rate after it, so the price is agreed before the cover comes off.

CCTV drain surveys

A short fixed-price booking with the report as the deliverable, and the repair quote raised against the same customer record.

High-pressure jetting

Priced by the hour, with an option for the nozzle set you need on a fat-laden commercial kitchen run.

Root cutting and rodding

The job that comes back. Book the cut now and put the lining quote in front of them the same week.

Patch lining and no-dig repairs

Quoted as patches, liner metres and junction reinstatements on separate lines, so the number carries its own explanation.

Excavation and drain replacement

Multi-day work quoted in stages, with reinstatement and spoil as their own lines rather than buried in a total.

Soakaway and surface water work

A day or two on site with an excavation option group, quoted after the survey rather than over the phone.

Gully, interceptor and chamber repairs

Small fixed-scope work that fits the hour between two bigger jobs, and the schedule will show you which hour that is.

Pre-purchase drainage surveys

Fixed price, tight deadline, and the report goes back through the thread the buyer or the solicitor opened.

Septic tank and treatment plant servicing

Recurring bookings on an interval, so next year is already on the calendar as you pull off the drive.

Commercial planned maintenance

A round of sites on a schedule, each with its own access notes, keys and site contact held on the job.

One blocked drain, three sensible answers.

Clear it today, survey it and cut the roots, or line the length that keeps failing. It goes out as a single good, better, best estimate.

  • The while-we-are-here options, with Pro

    Pro adds option groups: out-of-hours attendance, a second access point, tankering, or a heavier jetting rate for a clay run under a driveway. Each shifts the price on the estimate already open in front of them.

  • Priced off what you measured

    Metres, hours and units, each with a rate behind it. Change the run length and the total follows rather than being retyped.

  • Sent before you have loaded up

    The camera comes out and the quote goes from the van, which is when it is most likely to be accepted.

  • One number, set once

    Estimate numbers are fixed behind a confirm, so two versions of the same quote cannot share a reference.

Pro: the slot that adds the least driving.

When a survey is booked, the open times are ranked by how much extra driving each would add to the day already in the diary.

  • Ranked, never rearranged

    Nothing already booked is touched. The better times simply sit higher on the page the customer is reading.

  • Suited to long gaps

    A drainage day is a few long attendances with a good deal of road between them, which is where ranking earns its place.

  • Driving is not a charge

    Distance affects which slot is offered first. It never quietly alters the price the customer is given.

Paid before you load the van.

Drainage money is either taken at the chamber or chased for a fortnight. The receipt, put politely, ought to see itself out.

  • Cash and transfer cost nothing

    Mark it paid on the job and it is recorded. That sits on every plan and is not going to move.

  • Cards come with Pro

    A link they tap on the drive, and the receipt lands against the booking rather than in a notebook.

  • Longer work bills in stages

    An excavation can be split across stages once the booking exists. Pro, and after the job is on the calendar.

A confirmation that a customer paid one stage of a split card payment at booking, with the next stage due later, paid into the vendor's account.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your drainage business.

Scheduling

Drag an emergency in between two surveys and the van has the new order before the reel comes off. Free on whichever plan you are on.

Bookings

The job carries the access notes, the chamber locations, the site contact and the photographs, so a return visit does not start with a phone call.

Online booking

Callouts, surveys and jetting sit on a page with your genuine availability, so a blocked drain takes a slot instead of leaving a message.

Inbox

The call, the photograph of the surcharging gully and the lining quote sit in one thread per customer rather than across three phones.

Estimates

A repair quotes as liner metres, patches, jetting time and reinstatement, each priced, so the total arrives with its working attached.

Customers

Every blockage at that address sits on one record, which is the argument for lining the run rather than jetting it again next winter.

Territories

Draw the postcodes you genuinely cover and the booking page stops offering an early slot the far side of the ring road.

Team

Each engineer holds their own hours, patch and job list, and roles decide who sees pricing, so a subcontractor gets the work not the margins.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand and free. Cards come with Pro, and staged billing splits an excavation after the booking exists.

Common questions.

Not in the way gas work is. Most contractors sit with a trade body instead, such as the National Association of Drainage Contractors and its DrainSafe scheme. Whatever you hold goes on your own quotes and invoices, in your own words.

Estimates are structured lines with a quantity and a rate, so a repair reads as metres of liner, a patch, junction reinstatement, jetting time and reinstating the surface, each priced. It is considerably easier to accept than a single figure.

Which is most of it. Book the survey as the bookable thing, then send the excavation or lining quote against the same customer. The survey sits on the schedule as a real job and is not billed as the repair.

It handles the booking, the quote and the money. What the drainage rules where you work require, be that Approved Document H, the Scottish technical handbooks or the Northern Ireland technical booklets, and whether your sewerage undertaker or Scottish Water wants a build-over agreement for work near a public sewer, is your judgement on the job, not something software decides.

Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand and free on any plan. Cards come with Pro, and Pro also splits a longer excavation into stages billed after the booking exists.

Each engineer keeps their own hours, their own patch and their own job list, and roles decide who sees pricing. A subcontractor can be handed the work without being handed the margins.
