Many Small Quotes Eat Hours
Each odd job is too small to justify a long quote — but ten of them a day still eat your evenings on admin and invoicing.
Pricing Fixed Vs Hourly
Quote per hour and customers feel the meter ticking; quote per job and you have to guess time accurately. Hard to win both ways.
Cash-Flow Friction
Late invoicing means late payments. Without a fast quote-to-invoice workflow, money sits with the customer.
Everything Handymen Need
Instant Small-Job Quotes
Describe the job — flat-pack assembly, TV mount, leaky tap, picture hanging — and get a fixed-price quote in seconds.
Standard Job Library
Common handyman jobs are pre-priced and learn from your previous rates, so similar work always quotes consistently.
Quote → Invoice One Tap
Convert any accepted quote into a branded PDF invoice the moment the work's done. Customers pay faster.
Day-Schedule Planning
The AI sequences your day's jobs in the best order, accounting for travel between addresses.
Photo Analysis
Customer photo of a leaky tap or stuck door? The AI identifies likely cause and quotes the fix.
Remote Customer Quoting
Send customers a link — they describe and photograph the job, you respond with a price without leaving home.
Practical Boundaries
The AI checks your quotes against relevant regulations, so you never miss a compliance item.
- Notifiable electrical work (Part P) needs a registered electrician
- Gas work requires a Gas Safe engineer
- Public liability insurance is industry standard
- Working at height regulations (HSE) for ladder work
- Asbestos awareness for older properties

Making Tax Digital and Handymen
From 6 April 2027, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax covers sole traders and landlords whose qualifying income was over £30,000 in the 2025-26 tax year. Qualifying income is your self-employment and property income beforeexpenses, so it's your turnover, not your profit. If you're in, you keep digital records and send HMRC a short update every quarter.
The app keeps your books as you work: invoices become income, receipt photos become expenses, and the quarterly figures are ready to export for you or your accountant to submit. Filing straight from the app isn't available yet.
Worked example
Say a handyman turns over £31,000 in 2025-26 and spends £7,000 on materials, tools and fuel.
- Turnover (what HMRC tests)
- £31,000
- Profit after costs
- £24,000
- Over £30,000?
- Yes, in from 6 April 2027
Their first quarterly update covers 6 April to 5 July 2027 and is due by 7 August 2027, even though their profit is under £30,000.
Illustrative figures, not a statistic. Rules from GOV.UK: eligibility, qualifying income, quarterly updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it for variable hourly jobs?
Yes — the AI supports both per-hour and fixed-price quoting and learns your hourly rate over time so quotes feel consistent.
Does it handle quote-to-invoice for small jobs?
Yes. Convert any quote into a branded PDF invoice in one tap. Customers receive a polished document and pay faster.
Can it sequence multiple jobs in a day?
Yes. The AI plans day routes by postcode and job duration so you waste less time in the van.
Will customers find the photo upload easy?
Yes — they get a clean web link with no app download. Photo and short description, that's all.
