Price render by wall area, book each coat as its own block on the same house, and send the invoice while the scaffold is still up.
Online booking
The page asks for the address before the time, then the wall area and the finish. What arrives can be priced, not a text asking how much to render a semi.

Render is a sequence with drying in it, and this is not a climate that cooperates. Book the coats as blocks and move the run when the forecast turns.
Learn moreThree answers on one estimate: repair and paint where it is sound, a silicone thin coat over a new base, and render over external wall insulation.
Enter the square metres and the base figure is there. No rate half remembered against the van door in the rain.
Repair, re-render, render over insulation. Side by side they compare themselves, which saves the customer finding two more firms.
Scaffold, painting, making good the path. Naming what is not included is the quietest argument you will ever avoid.
Pro adds option groups to those lines, so the finish, the colour and the extra scaffold lift each carry their own difference against the square metre rate. The total keeps up while the customer decides.
Rendering firms rarely lose work for being slow. They lose it for being full and quiet, at which point the customer simply rings the next name.
The page names the first week you could have the scaffold up, rather than showing an empty grid that reads as gone out of business.
Address, wall area and finish land in the inbox with no slot open, which is exactly what you want when a job slips.
When a start date moves a fortnight, the people who asked while you were full are already sitting in one thread.
New extension in Ancoats — rear elevation and both side walls. Any chance of a texture finish before the end of the year?
A render job is not an appointment, it is a scaffold week. Each coat is its own block on the same address, so nobody turns up to float a wall that is still green.
System, wall area, finish and the coats already on, held against the address rather than in a text thread from March.
Built for your trade
Base coat, mesh and a through-coloured top coat on a new build. Priced on wall area with the colour as an option rather than a phone call.
One-coat through-coloured render, scraped back. Books as a short scaffold week with the beading and reveals costed as their own lines.
Hack off, make good, render flat. Quoted per square metre with an hourly allowance for the substrate nobody can see until it is off.
Breathable coats on an older house, booked with the long gaps the material needs rather than crammed into one week to suit the diary.
Boards, base coat, mesh, finish. Priced on area with the board thickness as an option that moves the total on the estimate.
Patching a dashed gable so the repair does not read as a patch. Priced by the hour, because matching what is there is most of the job.
The bit that always fails first. Booked with the access it needs, so it does not become a second visit and a second tower hire.
Cut out, rebond, blend in. The job record keeps the before photos, so the conversation about what was already cracked is a short one.
Small, quick and worth having. Takes a booking straight from the page rather than costing you an evening drive to measure up.
Skim coats on the same house you rendered outside, kept on one record so the customer gets one estimate rather than two.
Frost at seven, drizzle by eleven, a top coat that will not go on. Every render week is rearranged at least once and the diary must cope.
Push the top coat to Thursday and the rest of the house follows it. The customer sees the change without a call.
Moving work about is on every plan. Charging for the weather would be a peculiar way to run a rendering business.
The job knows which coats are on and which are not, so whoever arrives tomorrow is not reading the wall for clues.
A rendered house looks finished long before the invoice is settled, and a receipt that sees itself out is worth more than a reminder.
Mark it paid against the job and that is the end of it. Recording money by hand has never been something you pay for.
For the customer on the drive who would sooner tap a card than go inside and find their account details.
A long run can be split into stages on Pro, taken as the coats go on rather than requested at the moment of booking.
A tower of scaffold and a gang tied up in traffic are the two most expensive things on the job. Decide the patch once and let the page hold the line.
A circle drawn on a map takes in a river, an industrial estate and half a county you have never rendered a wall in.
Somebody beyond the patch is told the same day, which is better for them than a fortnight of waiting on a quote you will not write.
Split the map and the second gang works its own side, so two vans stop meeting each other going opposite ways on the ring road.
One asks about set-out, the other about the colour, and both land on the job rather than across two phones and a text thread.
When a hairline crack brings someone back, the system, the finish and what you charged are already on the address.
Yours is sitting beside two others on a builder's phone. See what has been opened and what has been signed, so the one worth a call is obvious.

One app for the whole job
Ordinary render on a private house needs no scheme. External wall insulation under a government-funded scheme is different: that work has to be done by a PAS 2030 certified, TrustMark registered business working to PAS 2035, and INCA is the trade association for the industry. Bookables runs your diary and does not certify anyone.
Yes. Price the service on wall area, set your rate, and the number appears as soon as the measurements do. Option groups then carry the finish, so a scraped monocouche and a silicone thin coat each show their own difference against the base rate.
Move the block to the next dry day and the rest of the run follows it. The customer is shown the new time without a phone call. Rescheduling is on every plan, the free one included.
Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand and cost nothing. Cards come with Pro. A long job can be split into stages on Pro, taken as the coats go on rather than asked for when the booking is made.
Draw the postcodes you take render work in and anything beyond them is turned away before it lands in the diary. There is no charge for a longer drive, so a distant job is quoted the same way a local one is.
Tax is a switch per service, so VAT sits on the line rather than appearing at the bottom as a surprise. Estimate and invoice numbers are set once, deliberately, and stay where you put them.
Compare online and phone bookings for service businesses, with a practical way to handle standard jobs, tricky enquiries and customers who prefer a call.
