The only bit you do

How a quote for dryliners gets built.

Say the areas or photo the shell: so many m² of metal stud boarded both sides, MF ceiling, level 4 finish, insulated board on the external walls. It prices each one at its own m² rate.

  • Say it or photo it

    Photo the shell or say the areas. Stud, boarding, taping, MF ceilings and insulated board come back as separate priced lines.

  • It measures, you check

    Put a tape in shot, tap two points and it measures. Anything you didn't measure is marked for you to check.

  • Priced from your rates

    Priced from your own m² rates. Drylining starts you at £48/m² for a boarded metal stud partition, £22/m² to board a ceiling, £12/m² for a level 4 tape and joint and a £220 day rate, and you change every figure to yours.

The materials come with it

Board, track, stud, screws, tape, jointing compound and insulation come off the m² you priced at real coverage rates. One take off, priced up at the merchant with your markup.

You can put a names only list on the customer's copy so they can see what you are supplying, with your buying and your markup kept to yourself.

After you tap Send

Most apps stop at the quote.
Yours keeps going.

A quote is the easy half. The half that eats your evenings is the deposit, the diary, the invoice and the chasing. That is the half InstaQuote does for you.

  1. The deposit

    You set the deposit on the quote. The customer pays it by card from the link on their phone, with nothing to install, and it lands in your account through Stripe.

  2. The booking

    The deposit books the job. They pick a free slot themselves, they get the confirmation and the reminder, and they can move it themselves from the same link.

  3. The calendar

    Your week fills in as the deposits land, and it syncs to Google so the diary on your phone matches the one in the van.

  4. The materials

    The take off from the quote is ready to go to your merchants for a price, with your markup on it and kept on your side of the paperwork.

  5. The invoice

    Mark the job done and the invoice is drafted for you, priced off the quote with the extras you added on site. One tap and it's gone.

  6. The chasing

    If it goes past its date, polite nudges go out in your name until it is paid. Three at most, then it stops and tells you. You are not the bad guy and you are not on the phone.

  7. VAT and CIS

    Nearly all of your work is for contractors, so the CIS deduction and the VAT reverse charge are worked out on every quote and invoice where they apply, the HMRC way. Your VAT return figures come out ready for you or your accountant to file.

  8. The books

    On the Accounts plan (£89/mo) it keeps the books behind all of it: expenses, what each job actually made, and your VAT return figures ready for you or your accountant to file with HMRC.

4 answers · No small print

The money questions (the trial, cancelling, your data) are answered on the homepage FAQ, and the how-to guides are in Answers.

Can I price tape and joint separately from the boarding?

Yes. Boarding, taping to a level 4 finish and double boarding a fire ceiling are separate lines at separate rates, so a taping only package prices properly.

How many boards and how much compound will it ask for?

It works them off the m² you priced at real coverage rates, along with the track, stud, screws and tape. It is a starting take off you change before it goes to the merchant.

Does it do CIS and the VAT reverse charge on contractor work?

Yes, on the quote and on the invoice, worked out the HMRC way rather than left as a note for you. You set it per customer, so a bit of direct work for a homeowner stays clean.

Can my lads see the programme without seeing the money?

Yes, on the Accounts plan. Up to 10 crew logins see the jobs, the schedule and what is on, and post progress and hours from site. They never see your rates or your margin.

Get your
Sunday nights back.

Quote the job in about a minute from your own rates. Then it takes the deposit, books the job in, drafts the invoice, chases the money and works out the VAT and CIS. You just turn up and do the work.
