Apps for builders, plumbers and electricians

From enquiry to quote to finished job and paid invoice, without the paperwork piling up in the van.

The everyday problem

Trades lose work in the gap between a phone call and a quote. Enquiries sit in voicemail, quotes go out late and nobody chases them. Then on site, photos and notes end up scattered across phones.

A custom app puts those pieces in one place, shaped around how your business works. You describe it, we plan it, build it, host it and keep it running.

What do you want to build?

Describe it in your own words. No tech talk needed. We read every idea.

Free. No account needed to send it.

Ideas

What builders, plumbers and electricians ask us to build

Enquiry to quote

Website enquiries land as jobs, and you send a tidy quote from your phone the same day.

Quote chasing

Unanswered quotes get a polite follow-up automatically, so fewer jobs go quiet.

Job sheets

Photos, materials, hours and the customer's signature on one job record.

Customer updates

A link where the customer sees progress, photos and the next visit.

The bonus

More included, fewer surprises

App builders charge by the message and leave you to fix what breaks. We do it the other way round.

No credits, no meter

Idea Lab plans and changes are not counted in credits. One fixed monthly price once your app is live.

Website included

Every app we build comes with a website on our builder, so customers can find it.

Domain for the first year

We register a .co.uk or .uk for your app and include the first year.

Free hosting while we build

Your app runs on our servers from day one. Billing starts when it goes live.

Website, domain and hosting bonuses apply to apps we build for you under a monthly plan.

Questions

Will this work for a one-person business?

Yes. Many of the best ideas come from sole traders who want less admin, not more software.

Can it connect to my accounting software?

Often, yes. Tell us what you use and we check it in the plan.

Do I need a new website as well?

Not necessarily. If you want one, our website builder is £24.95 a month.

What does it cost?

It depends on what the app needs to do. Sending your idea is free, and you get a clear quote before anything is built.
