A roofer replacing tiles on a pitched roof

Roofing

Scaffold in the price. Timber in the variation.

Roofing

Everything a roofer needs, in one login

The price fails when scaffold, waste and the timber you could not see were never in it. TruTrade puts the known cost in the quote and the unknown in a variation, with the invoice and the profit on that roof.

One login. The whole job.

01

Quote the whole roof, not just the tiles

Strip, batten, membrane, tiles, scaffold, waste. Margin on top, in a pack the client can accept before anyone goes up.

  • Live pricing with your rates and overhead.
  • Stages and a deposit in the schedule.
  • Drawings and photos on the estimate.

The number includes the job, not only the covering.

Sales invoices in TruTrade, showing paid, outstanding and overdue amounts

02

Deposit before the tiles are ordered

The deposit is a stage. Invoice it, watch it get paid, and keep the balance for completion.

  • Invoices from the schedule in the quote.
  • Outstanding on the home screen.
  • The client sees the same schedule in the portal.

You are not buying the roof for them.

03

Rotten timber is a variation

When the felt comes off and the rafters are gone, the extra is priced and accepted in the portal. The original quote stays the original quote.

  • Variations and their payments, tracked apart.
  • Photos on the job.
  • Projected profit moves with the extra.

The surprise is priced while the scaffold is still up.

04

Labour, CIS and the job’s profit

The gang’s wages sit on the roof you are on. CIS and timesheets are in the same login, next to materials and what you have billed.

  • Timesheets on the week.
  • CIS and PAYE ledgers.
  • Margin on that job, not across a muddy month.

You can see if that roof was worth doing.

“The quote pack alone wins me work. Clients think I’ve got a QS on the payroll — and the margin sliders mean the number that goes out is the number I meant.”

“I used to price on the hop and hope for the best. Now I set my margin before the client’s even called back, and I know where every job stands on a Sunday night instead of finding out at the end.”

“Invoices, CIS and the client portal in one place. My admin night has basically disappeared, and clients stopped ringing me for updates because they can see it all.”
