The gate repair prices itself

A dropped hinge or a sheared bracket carries a price you already know, so it takes the next genuine gap without anyone ringing the shop.

One diary

Bench days and site visits, one board

Workshop time sits beside the site work, so a balustrade fit is never offered on a day the bench is already spoken for.

Balustrade install

The bench and the road on the same day.

A workshop job and two call-outs are the same Tuesday, not two diaries. One board holds both, so an install is never promised on a morning the bench already owns.

The repair that already has a price.

A hinge, a tow hitch, a cracked bracket. Work you can price without seeing it goes on your page and takes the next real gap on its own.

The same railing, three finishes.

Every fabricator writes the same railing three ways: painted mild steel, hot-dip galvanised, or stainless. Price it once, let them choose.

  • Steel, hours and fit on separate lines

    The customer can see what the metal cost and what the work cost, so any question is about one line rather than the total.

  • Signed online, then in the diary

    They accept and sign on the phone, and the fit day appears on the board without the job being written out a second time.

  • Sent before you leave the kerb

    The quote goes from the van while you are still outside, which is generally before the next fabricator has rung back.

  • The metal priced as an option · Pro

    Galvanised rather than painted, stainless rather than galvanised, a powder coat, an extra return at the landing. Each carries its own price and moves the total when it is ticked.

A stainless balustrade quote, itemised and ready to send.

The stockholder let you down.

The steel has not arrived and Thursday is gone. Move the fit, and the customer hears before they book a day off for it.

  • Drag it to next week

    Pick the job up and put it on a day that works. The board rebuilds around it and the history stays with the job.

  • The reminder follows it

    Move the fit and the reminder moves too, so nobody is waiting at a gate on the old date.

  • Free on every plan

    Moving your own work around your own week has never been the part anyone pays for.

A day on the schedule where one job is dragged from one time to a later one and snaps into place on the grid.

Driveway gate has dropped and the hinge is torn out of the post. Can you look at it in Chorlton this week?

The bench is booked a fortnight out.

Fabrication backs up. When nothing is bookable this side of the month the page says so, and takes the enquiry rather than losing it.

Who is on the bench, who is on the road.

Two workplaces need two sets of hours. Set them per welder and the board stops offering a call-out to the one who is fabricating all week.

Which quotes were opened, and which went quiet.

A fabrication quote sits on a builder's phone beside two others. See what has been read and what has been signed, so the one worth a call is obvious.

Bench work and call-outs in one list.

Every job in one place whether it happens at the bench or at an address, with what it is, when it is and what it is worth on the row. No second book for the workshop.

Built for your trade

Built for the metalwork you actually make

Driveway gates and railings

Measured on site, quoted in three finishes on one document, signed online, and in the diary as a fit day the moment it comes back.

Beams cut and drilled for a knock-through

The builder sends the engineer’s drawing to the job, and the steel, the cutting and the delivery sit on the quote as separate lines.

Fire escape stairs and landings

Weeks of bench time held on the board as workshop days, so the same fortnight cannot quietly be sold to a second customer.

Mezzanine and balcony balustrade

A survey visit first and the quote after it, both on one job record rather than a photograph and a note in a different app.

Security grilles and shutter repairs

The job that jumps the queue after a break-in. Drop it into the day, push what it displaced, and both customers hear at once.

Trailer and horsebox repairs

Fixed-price repair work booked off your page, with the vehicle and the date on the job before it arrives at the shutter.

Bike hoops and street furniture

Repeat batch work for the same contractors, with every order you have made for them sitting on one customer card.

On-site structural repairs

A site visit with the address on the job, booked only inside the patch the van covers, and the rate the same right across it.

Wrought-iron style restoration

The slow, careful jobs quoted with the hours visible, so a query at the end is about one line rather than the whole figure.

Fabricated frames for shopfitters

Trade customers who come back four times a year, with their sites, their rates and their history on the one card.

Pro

Paid when the steelwork is signed off.

The railing is up and it has been looked over. That is the moment to ask, rather than a month after an invoice went in the post.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark the job paid when the transfer arrives. That costs nothing on any plan and is not going to change.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send a card link from the job before the van is loaded, and the receipt sees itself out.

  • Material now, balance at fit

    Ask for the steel first and the rest on the day. Staged requests come with Pro and go out after the job is booked.

How far the van is worth taking.

An hour each way and a two-hour repair has cost you the day. Set the areas you cover and the page will not take work beyond them.

  • Your patch, your decision

    Draw what the van covers. An address outside it is told at once rather than a week on.

  • The workshop has no radius

    Anything dropped at the shop is not gated by an area. Only the site work is.

  • One rate across it

    Inside the area the price is the price. Bookables adds nothing quietly for a longer drive.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your welding and metalwork business.

Scheduling

Bench days, site visits and fit mornings sit on one board, so a balustrade fit is never offered on a day the workshop already owns.

Bookings

One record per job, from the survey photograph through the quote and the bench work to the morning the gate is finally hung.

Online booking

Set prices on the work you can price without seeing it, a hinge, a bracket, a bent post, so it books the next genuine gap itself.

Inbox

The site photograph, the engineer’s drawing and the quote you sent all sit on the job rather than across a phone and an email account.

Estimates

Quote as you price: steel and fittings, cutting and welding hours, then the fit day, each on its own line with the total beneath.

Customers

Builders and shopfitters come back several times a year. Every gate, stair and frame you have made for them sits on one card.

Territories

Draw what the van covers and what it does not. Site work an hour past the ring road should not be able to book itself in.

Team

Add your fabricators, set who is on the bench and who is out in the van, and give the office the job list without the money screens.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer you record by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money is yours.

Common questions.

Yes, and it is the sensible arrangement. The work you can price without seeing it takes a set price and books itself; gates, railings and stairs come through as an enquiry and become a quote. You are never held to a figure you did not give.

Yes. Workshop time and site work sit on the same board, so an install cannot be promised on a day the bench already owns. When the stockholder is late, move the fit to the following week and the customer is told.

Yes. Quote painted mild steel and set hot-dip galvanised and stainless beside it as priced options. Ticking one moves the total, which saves writing the same railing out three times. Priced options come with Pro.

Yes. Draw the areas the van covers and an address beyond them cannot book site work at all. Inside the area the rate is the rate, since Bookables adds nothing for a longer drive, and workshop drop-offs are not gated by an area.

Mark the job paid when the transfer arrives, which is free on any plan, or send a card link from the job before the van is loaded. Cards come with Pro. Material up front and the balance at fit is also available.

No, and it makes no pretence otherwise. It holds the job, the quote and the money. Weld procedures, CSWIP inspection reports and anything an engineer signs stay with the bodies that issue them.
