The whole job

The same job, before and after.

You shouldn't have to do any of this. After you send the quote, the only thing you do is tap Job done. The deposit, the booking, the invoice and the chasing are handled.

  • The boiler's in, the customer's happy, the invoice is still in your head on the drive home.
  • Priced the bathroom off a photo and a conversation, forgot the waste.
  • "Can you do a breakdown?" Parts from the merchant's invoice, labour from memory.
  • Chasing money for a leak you fixed in twenty minutes.
  • VAT on the parts worked out twice because the receipt was in the van.

Built on the tools, not in a boardroom

Tom, plaster still on his top, shaking a customer's hand in front of his van

I'm Tom. Ten years in the trade, and every quote done sat in the van on the drive. If that's you, keep reading.

Tom · Founder · InstaQuote Ltd

I started in the trade at 17. Ten years in, the work was fine. It was everything after the work.

Every night I'd pull up at home and sit in the van on the drive, because the quotes and the invoices and the chasing had to be done before I went in. Every night. And the better the quotes were, the more people rang, so it never got smaller. I was starting to hate a trade I'd loved since I was 17.

If you've ever sat outside your own house doing paperwork, you know.

I tried every system going. Every one made a quote, then left me in the van doing the rest.

So I came off the tools and spent 18 months building the thing that didn't exist. Every step I used to do on that drive, built in so it happens without you. The quote prices itself from your rates. The deposit books the job. The invoice goes when you tap Job done. The late payer gets chased. VAT and CIS worked out.

Two things we found in no other trade app we checked: the deposit on your quote books the job and the customer moves the date themselves, and your bank statement gets matched with the tax to put aside shown.

It's new. Price a real job on it, 7 days free. If it's not quicker than what you do now, bin it and tell me why.

What I want is simple: you out of the van and in the house, paid properly and on time, and back in love with the trade you picked.

Why us, not the others

Six things no other trade app we checked does.

Every app we checked does quotes, invoices, the diary, VAT and CIS. So do we. These six are on top, and none of the ten says it does them.

  1. The deposit books the job.

    No more chasing a date. They pick it, they move it, you turn up.

  2. Your bank statement, matched to your invoices.

    Upload it and every payment is matched to the invoice it paid. No surprise tax bill: what to put aside is shown as the year goes.

  3. Download everything, even after you cancel.

    Your work is yours, not ours. Five of the ten say on their own sites that they lock you out or delete it.

  4. One tap splits labour and materials.

    No more working out the itemised version at the kitchen table. Your merchant's prices, your markup.

  5. Your own certificates, with reminders.

    Gas Safe, NICEIC, CSCS, insurance, the lot on file. You're told before one runs out, never after.

  6. Ask ChatGPT or Claude what's on today.

    Make a key in Settings, paste it into ChatGPT or Claude once, and ask "who owes me?". It can read your account and never change it.

Checked on their own websites, 18 to 26 September 2026, and ServiceM8 again on 3 October, and all ten again on 12 October 2026: Tradify, Powered Now, Fergus, ServiceM8, Jobber, Commusoft, YourTradebase, QuickPrice, VoxTrade and PriceUp. Where their site says nothing, we say "not found", never "they don't". See it app by app.

The only bit you do

How a quote for plumbers gets built.

A quoting app for plumbers that doesn't stop at the quote. Price the suite, the shower and the pipework from your own rates, then it takes the deposit, books the job in and gets you paid. Type it in on the doorstep: swap the toilet and basin, new shower, ten metres of pipe, fix the leak under the sink. It comes back itemised per fitting and per metre, off your own rates.

  1. Type it, say it or photo it. Type or say the job on the doorstep, or photo the bathroom. Fittings, pipework, leaks and call outs come back as separate priced lines.

  2. You give the sizes, it does the sums. No tape, no measuring tool. A photo gives it the rough sizes and what is in the room, you type or say the real sizes, and it prices off your rates. Anything it assumed is marked for you to check.

  3. Priced from your rates. Priced from your own per fitting and per metre rates. Plumbing starts you at £320 to supply and fit a close coupled toilet, £780 for a shower, £18/m of new pipework and a £260 day rate, and you change every figure to yours.

Your price list, day one

The materials come with it

Plumbers mostly supply their own, so the lists stay lean and honest: pipe, fittings, valves and sealant against the lines that need them. Add the suite in a tap if you are supplying it.

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.

VAT and CIS for plumbers. Work for a builder, a contractor or a developer and the CIS deduction is worked out on the quote and the invoice. The reverse charge is a separate tick, and it only applies if you're both VAT registered, the work is standard or reduced rated, and they haven't told you in writing they're the end user. Our free checker settles it. Work straight for a homeowner and both stay off.

Asked by plumbers.

7 answers · No small print

The money questions (the trial, the cost, cancelling) are at the bottom of this list, and the how-to guides are in Answers.

Can I quote a call out and a full bathroom on the same app?

Yes. A leak is one line at £90, a full bathroom is a set of lines with its own materials. Small jobs are quicker to quote than to write on a pad, and the big ones still come out itemised.

Can I put a deposit on the job before I order the suite?

Yes. Set the deposit on the quote, the customer pays it by card from the link, and the job books itself into your calendar as soon as it lands so the fitting week is held.

What if the job changes once the floor is up?

Add or change the lines and send a revised quote, or invoice the extra as its own line when the job is done. Nothing forces you to eat a variation you did not price.

Does it do CIS when I sub for a builder?

Work for a builder, a contractor or a developer and the CIS deduction is worked out on the quote and the invoice. The reverse charge is a separate tick, and it only applies if you're both VAT registered, the work is standard or reduced rated, and they haven't told you in writing they're the end user. Our free checker settles it. Work straight for a homeowner and both stay off.

Do I need a card to start?

Not to try it. Your free week and your demo quote don't need one. If you pick a plan during the week, you add your card then and nothing is taken that day: the first payment goes out automatically when your free week ends (or up to two days later if you pick it in the last two days). Don't pick a plan and nothing is ever charged; the account pauses with nothing deleted.

What does it cost after the trial?

From £47/mo on Starter, for you and one more. Crew is £57/mo for up to 3 logins, Team £87/mo for up to 5 and Firm £157/mo for up to 10, and InstaQuote takes no fee on card payments (Stripe's standard card rate still applies). Your price stays the same for as long as your plan stays active.

Can I cancel whenever I want?

Yes, anytime, from Settings in a couple of taps. No minimum term, no lock-in, no phone call to escape. You keep access to the end of whatever you've already paid for, and that's that.
