A hire period priced as a period, the install and the de-stage both on the calendar, and the extra weeks charged while the chain takes its time.
Online booking
The agent takes a morning to walk the property with you. Pricing a staging still wants your eyes on the rooms, so the visit books and the quote follows.

A staging is two van days some weeks apart. Both go in the diary the day the job is confirmed, so the de-stage is a booking rather than a note.
Learn moreThe furniture goes out for a period and comes back on a date somebody else's sale decides. Both truck days go on the board the day the job is won, so the collection is a booking rather than something you hope is remembered.
Three ways to dress the same property: soft styling over the seller’s own furniture, the main rooms and principal bedroom, or the house from empty.
A month and six weeks are different figures, because the hire is what you are selling. The dates you quote are the dates the job runs.
Beds, sofas, art and styling are their own lines, so when the agent asks you to bring the figure down you both know what comes out.
The quote goes from the phone while you are still parked outside, which is usually before the other stager has been through it.
An art package, garden furniture, a fourth bedroom, another month of hire. Each one moves the quoted total when the agent ticks it, so the seller reads one figure rather than a thread of emails.
Almost every job arrives through an agent and is paid by someone who has never met you. Keep the office as the customer with each property as its own address underneath, so the whole relationship reads as one history.
Every property you have dressed for them, what it was priced at and what is still out, on one card instead of in last year's emails.
Send the request to the office or to the person selling. Who books and who pays are two different people and always have been.
Access, the lift window and the pieces you are dressing around live on that address, not in the head of whoever did the last one.
Built for your trade
A vacant property staged the week the photographs are taken and de-staged after completion, priced across the whole hire rather than by the day.
They are still living there and you are adding beds, art and soft styling. A shorter list, a smaller van and a very different price.
The managing agent runs the lift in two-hour slots. The install has to sit inside that slot, so the slot is on the booking itself.
A dressing that stands for months while the phase sells, then moves to the next one. A long hire with a known de-stage at the end of it.
The sale takes six weeks longer than anybody said. Move the de-stage, add the extra hire as its own priced line, and the agent is emailed the date.
The house is emptied before the furniture goes in. Two crew days against one property, each with its own hours, both on the same job.
The first run of viewings went nowhere and the agent wants it fresh. A short crew visit against furniture already sitting in the house.
A van, two porters and a bay at the unit booked for the morning, so the stock is back on the racking and quotable again.
A dressed island, pictures on the walls and soft furnishings for a flat that already photographs well. An hour, and it books like an appointment.
Empty four-bed in Chorlton going up next month. Can you dress it for six weeks from the 15th?
Staging runs out of furniture rather long before it runs out of days. When nothing is free for those weeks, the page says so and takes the enquiry.
Four properties dressed, two coming back and a relaunch squeezed between them. One list, with the crew and the address on each, so the truck is loaded once for each of them.
Sales take as long as they take. Drag the de-stage to the new week, add the extra hire as a priced line, and the branch is told what changed.
The de-stage moves on the board and the job keeps its history, so the extension is a decision rather than something found at month end.
Add the weeks to the job as their own priced line, so they appear on the invoice instead of sitting in your head until they are forgotten.
The office is emailed the new de-stage date when it moves, which spares you the call you would have made on Friday afternoon.
Staging is furniture handed to somebody you have never met for a month or two. Record cash and transfers by hand for nothing, or take cards on Pro.
Mark the job paid when the transfer lands from the seller or the branch. That is free on any plan and it is staying that way.
Send a card link for the staging and another for the extra weeks, so it is settled before the van leaves the unit.
Ask for part when the job is booked and the rest at de-stage. Staged requests come with Pro and go out after the booking, not at checkout.
A full van has a radius, and past it a two-crew day stops paying for itself. Set the areas you cover and the page keeps to them.
An address outside it hears so straight away, rather than the week before launch when the van is already committed elsewhere.
If the stock sits in two units, each keeps its own area and the job falls to whichever one holds the furniture.
Inside your area the price is the price. Bookables never quietly adds anything because the run happened to be longer.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.

One app for the whole job
Yes. The job runs across the whole hire and is priced by it, so eight weeks and four weeks are genuinely different figures rather than the same fee with a later end date.
Move the de-stage to the new week on the board and add the extra hire as a priced line on the same job. The branch is emailed the new date and the extension is on the invoice.
They can, and it is the only way to see your real crew load. Each is its own booking with its own hours and crew, both sitting against the same property.
Not if the set is a bookable. Overlapping bookings against the same one are rejected at the database, so it is stopped rather than discovered on install morning.
Yes. Keep the agency as the customer with each property as its own address underneath, then send the payment request to whoever is paying. Everything you have dressed for that office stays together.
That depends on your turnover and your registration, not on us. Turn tax on per service and the rate is applied and shown on the quote and the invoice.
