Survey, design, install, commission the pump. Bookables keeps the four visits on one job rather than in four places, none of which is the diary.
Online booking
Your page asks what the survey needs — cellar or basement, water through the wall or up it, is there a pump already — and books a slot that exists.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
Survey, prep, membrane, commissioning. Held together as one job so the fit-out is never booked in for a week when the sump has not been dug.
Learn morePrep, primer, bond breaker, coat one, the cure, coat two, the flood test, the handover. Eight things across four days, and the trade behind you only cares about the last one.
Not four bookings pretending to be strangers. One job, with its stages, its membrane system and its photos all on the same record.
A twenty-four hour hold is time on the calendar with your name against it, which is the only version of it a builder cannot talk you out of.
The tiler goes in after the flood test, not the afternoon you finished coating. Put that on the calendar and the argument stops happening.
Ten minutes after you leave, your work is under a screed and nobody will ever look at it again — until it leaks, and then everybody looks at once.
The system you used, the coats you put on, the day it was flood tested and what you charged, still there four winters later.
The shots you take before the screed goes down sit against the booking they belong to, rather than in a camera roll with your kids in it.
A builder or a building manager is one customer with a file per property, so the block you did last spring is not eleven loose conversations.
Every wet area you seal
Type A, B or C to BS 8102 quoted as three options with a price against each, so the client sees why the cavity drain system costs what it does.
Membrane area, channel run, sump and pump, battery back-up. Each its own line with a quantity, so nothing important hides inside a single figure.
Priced on the linear metres of wall, with plaster removal and re-plastering as lines the client can add or leave to their own builder.
Booked around the tiler rather than against them. The job carries the tray type, the upstand heights and the day the screed is due to be down.
Weather work you will move at least once. Shift it to a dry day and the leaseholder, the managing agent and your applicator all see the new date.
Long jobs, staged visits. One estimate with the design, the install and the commissioning as their own lines, then bookings against each.
The awkward externals. Excavation access, positive or negative side and drainage go on as options priced separately rather than assumed into the number.
The work that keeps a tanking guarantee alive. Book them a year ahead so the reminder is a booking rather than a note you meant to make.
A short paid visit ending in a written report. Take the money on the day, then send the estimate for the remedial work with the photographs attached.
A block with water in three flats is three addresses on one estimate and three bookings when the agent approves it, without retyping anything.
The client would like one figure. There are three: a cementitious tanking slurry, a cavity drain membrane with a sump, or a full Type C system.
Pro adds option groups, so a second pump, a battery back-up or a high-level alarm each carry their own price and add themselves on when the client ticks the box.
Membrane area, channel run, one sump, one pump. Each a line with a quantity and a rate, so the total rather explains itself.
Plaster removal, making good, the electrical supply to the pump. Saved as lines you add or leave off, so scope is settled beforehand.
An estimate takes its number when it goes out and keeps it, so no managing agent ends up filing two documents wearing the same one.
Liquid membranes and external tanking do not care about your diary, so half the week is work that was meant to happen on Tuesday.
Move a balcony to Thursday and the leaseholder, the agent and your applicator see the new time without three separate messages.
Survey, install and commissioning belong to one job, so shifting it does not leave a pump commissioning stranded on its own.
Rearranging the day is not the part you pay for. That is simply a calendar being a calendar.
Once the plasterboard is back up your work is invisible, which is a reasonable argument for the money not waiting until the fit-out is finished.
Mark it paid on site and the receipt rather sees itself out. That costs nothing on any plan and is not about to.
A tap on the phone before you leave, or a link the agent can forward to whoever actually settles the invoices.
A basement conversion running three weeks can bill a deposit and a completion payment against the same booking.
There is a wet patch on the ceiling under the ensuite and it is getting bigger. Can someone look at the shower this week?
Being full is not a problem until someone rings about water rising through a cellar floor and your page has nothing useful to say.
Every contractor has a distance beyond which the job stops paying, and a page that does not know it books work you then have to ring and cancel.
One app for the whole job
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
It does not, and software claiming otherwise should be treated with suspicion. BS 8102 and its Type A, B and C systems are yours to work to, and the design competence sits with the person holding it. What Bookables does is hold the visits a Type C install actually takes — survey, prep, membrane, sump, commissioning — as steps on one job, with your photographs and notes against each.
Nothing here verifies or displays it, and you would be right not to trust anything that said it did. The Property Care Association Certified Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing sits with you, not with your diary software. Your certification and your company details belong on your quotes and reports, which is text you write once into your estimate footer and then forget about.
Not at online checkout — that was removed. Staged payments do exist and they come with Pro: once the booking is in you can raise a payment for the deposit and another on commissioning, each with its own card link. A good many contractors simply take the lot on completion, and recording cash or a bank transfer by hand is free on every plan.
Rather well. A block with water in three flats becomes one estimate with three lines and three addresses, then three bookings once the agent signs it off. Each booking carries the leaseholder contact and the access arrangements, so your applicator arrives knowing which flat, which door code and who to ring when nobody is in.
Book them forward. A service twelve months out is a booking on the calendar rather than a reminder you meant to set, and the property record shows the system you installed and the date it was commissioned, so whoever attends knows what they are looking at before they open the boot.
Not many. Quoting, booking, the calendar, the client list, coverage areas, your team, and recording cash or a bank transfer by hand are all free. Pro covers the automation: card payments, staged payments and slot ranking that scores your open times by the driving they add. The plan cards on this page carry the numbers.
