Gutter clearing that books into a real gap, a roofline quote with three ways to go on it, and the invoice sent before the ladder is back on the roof bars.
Online booking
The first week of leaves down and every call is the same one. Put terraced, semi and detached prices on a booking page and let people take real gaps.

Nobody is on a wet roof in February. Drag Tuesday onto Thursday, the customer is told, and the downpipe repairs you keep for this weather fill the gap.
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 middle of November there is nothing left in the diary and the calls keep coming. The page does not simply go blank on them, it asks.
A request arrives with the address and the photograph, 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 is not a thing that happens.
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 cast-iron gutter is three jobs depending on the budget: clear and reseal, gutter and downpipe replacement, or the full fascia, soffit and gutter.
Leaf guard by the metre, an extra downpipe, dry verge along the gable: added as options, the total moves as they tick, so the step from a repair to the lot is a figure rather than an argument. 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 clearing job books into a real gap at your terraced or detached price, with the address, the storey count and the rear access note attached.
Quote the fascia, the soffit, the gutter run and the skip as separate lines, and the accepted quote becomes the job with the profile and colour on it.
On a listed terrace the replacement is not an option, so the quote carries the bracket repairs, the joint reseal and the paint as its own lines.
The small work that fills a wet week. Booked at a set price, kept against the property, and invoiced on the day rather than at the end of the month.
Rotten bargeboard rides along with a roofline quote as an option, so it is priced once rather than becoming a phone call a month later.
Over-fascia and soffit vents added by the metre on a replacement, with the photographs of the damp loft sat in the same thread as the estimate.
A gutter hanging off the front elevation goes in as an urgent job at your call-out rate, and their photographs arrive attached to the request.
A list of properties cleared on a repeat visit, every address and key-safe note kept against the agent, so next autumn is not a fresh set of questions.
Three-storey clearing without scaffold, priced by the elevation, with the before and after camera stills sent back on the same job record.
Agents book the clear, the reseal and the touch-up before the survey, and the invoice goes to the agency rather than to the seller.
Guttering is drive time with a ladder on top, and an hour of clearing 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 clearing 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 clearing 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.

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 apply wherever a fall could cause injury, with no minimum height, and a ladder may only be used where a risk assessment shows heavier access is not justified. Northern Ireland works to its own equivalent regulations of the same year. Bookables does not assess any of that. It keeps the job, the access notes and the photos in one place so what you agreed is on the record.
There is no installer register for rainwater goods, fascias or soffits in the way there is for windows or gas work, so what you show a customer is your own insurance and your own workmanship guarantee. Both can sit on the quote they sign, alongside the photographs of the last job you did on their street.
They can. Publish clearing as a bookable job at your own price, set how long it really takes, and the page offers only slots you genuinely have. Terraced or detached, two storey or three, and rear access can be options on the job, so the price shown is the price you arrive on.
As one estimate with lines for the fascia, the soffit, the gutter run, the downpipes and the skip, each with quantity and rate. They sign on the phone while you are stood in the driveway, and the accepted quote becomes the job without being retyped.
Cash and bank transfer are free to record on any plan, which is most of a clearing 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 and postcodes 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 clearing never turns into a morning on the ring road.
