From the first photo of a blown ceiling to the skim, the second coat and the invoice, one job record holds the lot.
Online booking
Very little gets priced without seeing it. Put the quote visit on your page with a proper duration and let people take a slot while you are on a ceiling.

Backing coat, then skim, and the drying time in between is not a suggestion. Give each stage its own slot and duration on one calendar and the order holds.

The bread-and-butter callout. Books short, priced by room, photos already on the thread, and the insurer gets a proper quote.
Priced by area or by room. Whether it takes a bonding coat first is an option with its own price, not a surprise on the day.
Board, tape and skim as separate stages with their own durations, so the second fix behind you is not left guessing.
Weather dependent and priced by area. Takes a real block of days on the calendar and moves as a block when the forecast turns.
A different rate and a different duration to sand and cement, so it deserves its own service rather than a note in the quote.
Never quoted from a photograph. Books as a quote visit and comes back as an estimate with its own lines and its own timescale.
Small, fast, and the job that ruins a day when the diary lies about it. Give it a real duration and let it book itself.
Its own service with its own waiting time built in, so nobody books the skim before the wall is anywhere near ready.
The profile is the entire conversation, so it is an option group with prices attached rather than a number pulled out of the air.
Booked to land between the plumber and the tiler, and when the date shifts they both see it shift.
Room count, finish level, the profile to match, where the water is and how to get in. On the job when you take it, not remembered on the drive over.
Half of plastering is quoted off pictures of a stain on a ceiling. Those pictures belong on the job, not three screens deep in a phone.
One customer, a long run of jobs and a payment history worth keeping, instead of eleven separate searches through last year's messages.
Somebody asking what plastering costs wants three numbers: patch and make good, an overskim over what is there, or hack off and re-board.
Price the way you already do. Square metres for walls and ceilings, rooms for a skim, hours for patching and making good.
Bonding coat, moisture board, coving. Each is an option with its own price, agreed in writing before anyone mixes anything.
They accept from the link and the job holds what was agreed, which tends to settle matters when the decorator has opinions.
Pro adds what rides on top: coving, moisture board in the bathroom, bonding on bare brick, taking the waste away. Each carries its own price difference, so the figure moves as they choose.
Render will not go on in the wet and skim will not take a second coat early. Losing the day is survivable; ringing eleven people is the bit that hurts.
Move the job and both the customer and the crew are told. Free, on any plan.
Push the boarding and the skim behind it follows, rather than leaving a hole you find on Thursday afternoon.
The notification handles the awkward part rather well. You carry on with the next room.
Which is the usual state of a decent plasterer. The page may as well say so, and still take the details of somebody willing to wait.
The page can only offer what is genuinely left, so nothing books into a week already given to a contractor.
With nothing free they send photos and an address instead, and it arrives in the inbox rather than as a missed call.
An estimate can go out and be accepted with no date attached. The date follows when the run in front clears.
Ceiling in the back bedroom has come down after a leak. Photos attached, is there anything before the end of the month?
The money is usually a stage payment from a builder or a lump on completion. Either goes quicker when the invoice already sits on the job.
Record what came in by hand and the job closes. No plan required and nothing taken off the top.
A link on the invoice rather than a phone call a fortnight later. The receipt rather sees itself out.
A long boarding and skimming job can bill in stages once the booking exists. Nothing is taken at the point of booking.
A van full of board and fifty minutes of dual carriageway is not the same job as one round the corner, whatever the quote says.
Mark the postcodes you cover. Outside them people are told plainly instead of booking and then being cancelled.
The rendering side and the interior skimming side rarely cover the same patch. Each can hold its own area.
Lath and lime, scaffolded render, whatever it is. Better said on the page than discovered on site.

One app for the whole job
Plastering is not licensed, but site work generally is not open to you without a CSCS card. The blue Skilled Worker card is the usual one, gained with a Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Plastering on the solid or fibrous pathway, or the SVQ if you trained in Scotland, plus the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test. Domestic work does not require it; most main contractors do. Put the card and your public liability on the estimate template and it goes out on every quote.
For a straightforward overskim, often. Ask for pictures on the thread, price the estimate by square metres or by room, send it. Anything with damp, blown plaster or lath behind it wants a look, and the quote visit books from the same page.
As its own service, because it is its own trade. Different duration, different rate, different customers. Setting it up separately keeps somebody with a Victorian ceiling from booking the same slot as a two-coat skim on new board.
Move it on the calendar and everyone attached to it is told. That is on every plan, including the free one, which is the point: weather moves rendering constantly and the cost is the ringing round, not the day.
Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand and always free. Cards sit on Pro, which is what most people want when a builder owes them a stage payment. The plan cards further down carry the numbers.
Yes, and they behave differently. A builder is one customer with a long run of jobs and a payment history worth keeping. A householder is one job and a great many questions. Both sit on the same records, so nothing needs looking up twice.
