Smart scheduling

Floating, setting and rendering, kept apart

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.

Wall skim coat

Built for your trade

From a patch round a light switch to a whole house of walls and ceilings

Ceiling repair after a leak upstairs

The bread-and-butter callout. Books short, priced by room, photos already on the thread, and the insurer gets a proper quote.

Overskim on artexed walls and ceilings

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.

Dot and dab on a new extension

Board, tape and skim as separate stages with their own durations, so the second fix behind you is not left guessing.

Sand and cement render, external

Weather dependent and priced by area. Takes a real block of days on the calendar and moves as a block when the forecast turns.

Silicone or thin-coat render on a refurb

A different rate and a different duration to sand and cement, so it deserves its own service rather than a note in the quote.

Lime plaster on lath in a period property

Never quoted from a photograph. Books as a quote visit and comes back as an estimate with its own lines and its own timescale.

Making good after the electrician

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.

Replastering after a damp course

Its own service with its own waiting time built in, so nobody books the skim before the wall is anywhere near ready.

Coving and cornice replacement

The profile is the entire conversation, so it is an option group with prices attached rather than a number pulled out of the air.

Bathroom board out before tiling

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.

The builder who is eleven rooms deep.

One customer, a long run of jobs and a payment history worth keeping, instead of eleven separate searches through last year's messages.

Skimming a room, priced three ways.

Somebody asking what plastering costs wants three numbers: patch and make good, an overskim over what is there, or hack off and re-board.

  • By area, by room or by the hour

    Price the way you already do. Square metres for walls and ceilings, rooms for a skim, hours for patching and making good.

  • The extras sit as choices

    Bonding coat, moisture board, coving. Each is an option with its own price, agreed in writing before anyone mixes anything.

  • Accepted online, and kept

    They accept from the link and the job holds what was agreed, which tends to settle matters when the decorator has opinions.

  • Extras priced as options · Pro

    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.

When the forecast rearranges the week.

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.

  • Drag it and it is dealt with

    Move the job and both the customer and the crew are told. Free, on any plan.

  • The run travels together

    Push the boarding and the skim behind it follows, rather than leaving a hole you find on Thursday afternoon.

  • Nobody has to be telephoned

    The notification handles the awkward part rather well. You carry on with the next room.

Booked up until well into next month.

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.

  • Slots come off the real calendar

    The page can only offer what is genuinely left, so nothing books into a week already given to a contractor.

  • Full is not the end of it

    With nothing free they send photos and an address instead, and it arrives in the inbox rather than as a missed call.

  • The quote need not wait for a date

    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?

Paid before you load the van.

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.

  • Cash and transfer, free

    Record what came in by hand and the job closes. No plan required and nothing taken off the top.

  • Cards come with Pro

    A link on the invoice rather than a phone call a fortnight later. The receipt rather sees itself out.

  • Staged where the job is staged

    A long boarding and skimming job can bill in stages once the booking exists. Nothing is taken at the point of booking.

The postcodes that are worth it.

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.

  • Draw it rather than explain it

    Mark the postcodes you cover. Outside them people are told plainly instead of booking and then being cancelled.

  • Different work, different ground

    The rendering side and the interior skimming side rarely cover the same patch. Each can hold its own area.

  • And what you would rather not take

    Lath and lime, scaffolded render, whatever it is. Better said on the page than discovered on site.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your plastering business.

Scheduling

Boarding, floating and skimming days sit on one calendar, so nobody arrives to skim a wall the backing coat only went on the previous afternoon.

Bookings

Each job carries the room count, the finish, the coving profile and the parking situation, so the van leaves the yard loaded correctly.

Online booking

Quote visits and patching take a slot off your page while you are on a ceiling, priced by the room or by the square metre.

Inbox

The photo of the blown ceiling, the question about dust sheets and the confirmation share one thread against the job, not three separate apps.

Estimates

Price a skim line by line, square metres against a rate, with making good and coving as separate lines the customer reads and accepts.

Customers

Builders, letting agents and householders each keep a history, so last winter’s ceiling repair is on screen when they ring about the crack.

Territories

Draw the postcodes you will travel to and the ones you will not, so an hour-each-way patching job never quietly books itself into a full week.

Team

Owners see the money, managers move the run, and the lads on site see only the jobs, the addresses and the notes they need for that day.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand for free. Cards come with Pro, so a builder settles the stage payment from the invoice itself.

Common questions.

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.
