Quoting room by room, job by job
Price per room, per wall or per day — build quotes from line items that remember your rates for prep, mist coats and finishes.
The job management app for painters & decorators
Price up rooms, hallways and full exteriors, keep colour changes and extra prep agreed in writing, and send the invoice with the brushes still wet.

Sound familiar?
The admin headaches every decorator knows — solved.
“While you're here, could you just…”
An extra ceiling here, a colour change there. Capture a signed variation on the spot so extras get paid for instead of absorbed.
Lots of small jobs, lots of loose ends
Decorating businesses run on volume. Keep every job, quote and unpaid invoice in one place so nothing slips through.
Built around a decorator’s working day
Fast quotes for interiors and exteriors
Itemise prep, materials and labour per room or per elevation, and send quotes customers accept with a digital signature.
Signed variations for extras
Colour changed after the first coat? Extra prep on blown plaster? Price it, get it signed, carry on.
A diary for weather and drying time
Move exterior days when rain's forecast and slot interior work in — your week rearranges in seconds.
Invoice on the final coat
Turn the quote into an invoice, add the extras already signed for, and take card payment by link before you leave.
