From the first call about a slipped slate, through the lead flashing, the flat roof quote and the scaffold, to the day the money lands. One page, run from a phone.
Online booking
Your page shows the inspection slots you have, takes the address and the photo of the damp patch, and books it without a phone call.

Nobody is stripping a roof in that. Drag Tuesday to Thursday and it all follows: the lads, the customer and the rest of the week.
Learn moreA fair share of roofing days go to the forecast. Moving the job is trivial. Telling everyone about it is what usually costs the morning.
Day, crew and the customer notice travel together. Free on every plan, as a wet week is hardly a premium feature.
Half the slating today, the rest Thursday. It remains one job, one quote and one invoice at the end.
Nobody drives to a site cancelled at seven, because the run in their hand is the one that is current.
What the roof is made of, the flashing you replaced, the leak you chased down and the photo of the ceiling stain all stay against the address, so a callback three winters later starts from the record instead of from memory.
Give every crew and every hand their own hours and their own days off, so a two-person job is never rostered as one and the work up on the roof only goes to whoever is set up for it.
Built for your trade
A damp patch upstairs gets an inspection slot, an address and a photo before you ring back. Charged hourly, or absorbed into the repair.
A week-long job booked as a week, with the strip, the battens, the membrane and the slating as lines the owner can actually read.
A chimney that has leaked since the eighties. Short booking, short quote, photographs kept against the property.
Quoted off the deck area, with the membrane type as an option group so the price follows the choice rather than a conversation.
Priced by the lineal metre of ridge, quoted as its own line, and put into a dry window rather than the next free morning.
Lineal metres again, with the colour and the downpipe count as options that carry their own prices on the estimate.
The bits that always leak. Booked as an hourly visit with the lead and the slates added as lines once you have seen it.
Flat priced off roof area, booked in a settled week, and offered again next spring from the customer record you already hold.
A sheet down today, the proper quote once the wind drops. Both under one customer so the insurer gets a straight story.
A fixed-price look at slates, lead, ridge and gutters, sent out in autumn from the list of everyone you have worked for.
Relay the slipped slates and redo the lead, strip and re-slate with reclaimed, or re-slate with new and replace the guttering, on one estimate.
Option groups carry what shifts the figure: breathable membrane, new battens, dry ridge, lead to the valleys, scaffold. Each adds its own price to the tier chosen. Card payment comes with Pro.
Set square metres as the driver once. The re-slate figure follows the roof rather than being retyped on every quote.
Repair, re-slate, re-slate with guttering. In front of them together, which is the only way the middle one ever gets chosen.
Membrane, battens, dry ridge, lead, scaffold. Each named with a price, so nothing appears for the first time on the invoice.
A ridge rebed is a few hundred. A re-slate is a fortnight of wages already out the door. Both would rather not need a fourth polite reminder.
Mark it paid at the gate. It has never cost anything here and it is not going to start now.
A tap at the door rather than a transfer that may or may not appear before the weekend.
One leg at strip, one at handover, both set up after the job is booked rather than at the online checkout. The receipt sees itself out.
A named storm goes through on Sunday and by Tuesday every roofer within thirty miles is full. A page with no slots loses the work.
No invented availability. If the next survey is a fortnight out, that is what it says, which people take better than a missed appointment.
The enquiry arrives with the address and the photo, so when something falls through you already know who to ring.
Storm work ends. The names stay on your customer list, and a re-slate quote in the spring is a considerably warmer call.
The ceiling in the back bedroom started dripping in the night and there is debris off the roof all over the lawn. Anything this week?
Roofing has a long setup and a heavy load. An hour each way for one slipped slate is a morning lost.
Towns and postcodes in, everything else out. The far callout cannot reach a slot on your page at all.
The re-slate crew covers one side of the county, the maintenance man the other. Coverage sits on the bookable, not the business.
We do not price by travel time and would rather say so. If the run is too far, take the postcode off the list.
A survey fifteen minutes from where the crew already are on Thursday is worth rather more than an empty Tuesday forty miles the other way.
Open slots are scored by the extra travel each one puts into the day, and the sensible ones are shown first.
Nothing is shuffled behind your back. It is a suggestion at the point of booking and it is quite happy to be ignored.
The booking page and the diary cost nothing. Ranking slots by travel is one of the things Pro is for.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.

One app for the whole job
No, and it does not pretend to. Where the NFRC Competent Person Scheme runs, a registered roofer can self-certify a roof refurbishment against the Building Regulations, and the Building Regulation Compliance Certificate comes through the scheme rather than through us. It does not cover the whole UK, and Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own building control, so check what applies where you work. What Bookables holds is the booking, the quote, the photographs and the dates, which is the part most people are reconstructing from memory when it is asked for.
Yes. Set roof area in square metres as the pricing driver and the figure follows the roof rather than your typing. Breathable membrane, new battens, lead work, dry ridge and scaffold sit on top as option groups with their own prices, so the scope they choose is the scope you priced.
That stays with HMRC and your accountant. The Construction Industry Scheme governs how a contractor pays a subcontractor, and Bookables is not part of it. It records what the job was, what you quoted and what was paid, which is what your bookkeeping wants from you anyway.
Cash and bank transfer you record yourself are free, and will stay that way. Card payment comes with Pro, as do staged payments across a re-roof, and both are set up after the job is booked rather than at the online checkout.
Set the towns and postcodes you work in and the ones you do not. Anything outside them cannot book a slot. There is no charge for a longer drive, which is worth saying plainly rather than implying otherwise.
The booking page, the diary, quoting, the customer list, coverage areas and cash and transfer payments are free. Pro covers the automatic half: cards, staged payments, and open slots ranked by the driving they add.
Compare online and phone bookings for service businesses, with a practical way to handle standard jobs, tricky enquiries and customers who prefer a call.
