From the enquiry that arrives with photographs of a rusted railing, through the soda-or-grit quote, to the day the pot is loaded and the invoice is settled.
Online booking
Two photographs and a rough size is not a quote. Your page asks what the substrate is and what is on it before any of it becomes a job.

Work brought into the unit and work you take the lorry out to sit on the same week, so the pot is not promised in two places at once.
Learn moreBlasting books out in blocks rather than hours. When there is nothing left this month the page still takes the enquiry, photographs included.
Substrate, a rough size, how many coats and whether anyone has blasted it before. All of it arrives before you write a number.
The hole under the enamel is on the record from the first message, which saves a discussion held with the pot already unloaded.
The enquiry and the quote you sent back sit together, so nothing goes missing three screens into a thread on the other phone.
Trailer chassis back to bare steel. Photos of the pitting attached, plus what I think is on it. Can you price soda and grit both ways?
Two ways to do the same railings: a soda strip that leaves the ironwork alone, or a grit blast that cuts a key for the primer.
Metres, media, primer and containment are separate lines, so a query about the price can be answered by pointing at the part it came from.
Sheeting, shrouding and removing spent media is quoted where the customer can see it, which is the only way it is ever paid for.
The quote goes from the phone while you are still parked outside, which tends to be before the next firm has rung them back.
Containment, spent media removed, a coat of primer before it leaves the unit, collection and return. Each is a priced option, and ticking one moves the quoted total rather than starting a further phone call.
Outdoor blasting stops when it blows and the week shuffles behind it. Drag the job to Thursday and everyone booked behind it hears about it.
What the substrate is, what came off it, which media you used and what it cost, all on the job rather than in a folder on the office phone.
Built for your trade
Old coatings off ironwork, usually taken back to the unit so the media can be contained rather than left across a pavement.
Paint off a terrace front without taking the mortar with it. Low pressure, slow going, and quoted by the day rather than the metre.
Hoppers and downpipes stripped and primed off the building, where the handling costs about as much as the blasting does.
Soda on the panels and grit on the chassis rails. The owner mentions two coats and there are five underneath them.
Blacking off back to steel in a dry dock, where the slot is booked weeks ahead and the day length decides the price.
A yard full of gear over the winter, quoted as one job with a run of lines rather than eight separate conversations.
Beams and columns blasted before the coating crew arrives, where access and sheeting decide the number well before the tonnage does.
Work over a pavement, so the shrouding and the licence take up as much of the quote as the blasting itself.
Soda at low pressure to lift limewash and old paint off oak without raising the grain. Priced by the day, not the board.
Tags taken off a wall without ghosting it, quoted off the area and the substrate rather than off the photograph sent in.
Every job you have blasted for them, what was on the steel last time and the rate you gave, on one card instead of in last year's book.
Two media, two prices, and then silence. See which quote was opened and which was signed, so you know whether to order the pallet or make the call.
The media is bought before the job and the money ought not to arrive a month after it. Record cash and transfers free, or take cards on Pro.
Mark the job paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and it is not going to start costing something.
Send a card link when the railings go back up. The money goes to your account rather than sitting in ours on the way.
Once the job is booked you can request part before the pallet of grit is ordered and the rest on completion. Staged requests come with Pro.
Half this trade comes into your unit and half of it does not. Set what the lorry covers and a job the far side of the county cannot book in.
Addresses outside it hear so straight away rather than a week later, which suits them and suits you rather more.
Unit jobs book to your address rather than theirs, so they are never counted against a day the lorry is already out.
Inside your area the price is the price. Bookables does not quietly add anything on for a longer run out.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.

One app for the whole job
Yes. Route blasting to a details-and-photographs request rather than an instant booking and set the questions yourself: the substrate, a rough size, what is on it and whether it has been blasted before. The enquiry then arrives with enough to price it.
They can. Both go on as options with their own prices and the total moves when the customer chooses. The option they signed for is on the record, rather than in a conversation the two of you recall rather differently.
Yes, each with a quantity and a rate. Sheeting a driveway, shrouding a balcony over a pavement and removing spent media is real labour and a real disposal cost, and breaking it out is the only reliable way of not absorbing it.
Once the job is booked you can send a payment request for part of it and another for the balance on completion. Staged requests and card payments come with Pro. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand cost nothing on any plan.
It does. Drop-off jobs are booked to your own address, so they take no travel and do not count against the day the lorry is out. Service areas then govern only the work that genuinely goes somewhere.
Drag the job to another day and everyone booked behind it is told. Moving work around the day sits on every plan, including the free one, which seems the least a diary can do in this climate.
Compare online and phone bookings for service businesses, with a practical way to handle standard jobs, tricky enquiries and customers who prefer a call.
