Speak the job.
Send the quote.
Talk through the job like you would to the customer standing in front of you. GafferMate turns it into a branded, itemised quote in your own prices — checked and ready to send before you're back in the van.
No card needed. Full access from day one.
Three steps. No paperwork.
Everything happens between arriving on site and getting back in the van.
Speak it
Hit the mic and talk through the job like you're explaining it to the customer standing next to you. No forms, no dropdowns, no typing with cold hands.
Check the maths
GafferMate builds the quote from your own price list and shows the working for every calculation — nothing's a black box, and anything it's had to estimate is flagged.
Send it
The customer gets a branded, itemised PDF quote on their phone. They accept or decline in a tap — you get notified the second they do.

What is quoting costing you?
Quoting is admin you never bill for. Drag the sliders — your numbers, not ours.
Count the ones that never came off, too — you still did the work.
Measuring up, working it out, typing it up, chasing it.
Your day rate divided by the hours you actually work it.
144 hours a year — about 3.6 working weeks
GafferMate is £359.88 a year. Set it against £6,480 and decide for yourself.
These are your figures, not ours — we’ve not measured anyone’s time and we won’t pretend we have. GafferMate simply does the working out for you: it takes the job off your voice or your drawings, prices it from your own rates, and tells you what you’ve left out.
Everything a real quote needs — nothing it doesn't
No feature you don't need on site. Every one of these is built for the tools trade already uses — your own price list, your own paperwork, your own numbers.
Talk it, don't type it
Speak the job out loud and get a professional, branded, itemised quote in your own prices — ready before you're back in the van.
No price list yet? Just snap one
Photograph a stack of old quotes or invoices and GafferMate reads them — not just your prices, but how long each job took you and how many were on it. That's the bit nobody else captures, and it's what stops the app guessing your labour.
Said it wrong? Say it again
Voice-edit any quote after it's built — or hold the mic on a single line and say "make that twenty bags at sixty quid". Change a quantity, a rate, a description, without re-doing the job.
It reads the architect's drawings
Send over the plans and it takes off quantities from the written dimensions — telling you which sheet each one came from, and saying so plainly when a dimension isn't on the drawing rather than inventing one.
It won't let you forget the foundations
Before the quote lands it checks its own work: walls with nothing under them, a roof structure with no covering, a staircase with no balustrade. The things that cost you money months later, caught before the customer sees it.
Your customer gets a builder's estimate
You work in seventy lines. Your customer sees a dozen headed sections with a figure against each — foundations, roof coverings, second fix — the way you'd hand it over on paper. Same money, one page.
Know what you're owed
One screen: what's outstanding, what's gone past your terms, and the one nobody expects — work you've had accepted and never invoiced. Mark it paid without opening the job.
Customers sign off from their phone
They get a quote link, accept or decline in a tap, with the UK cancellation-rights notice built in automatically. You're covered.
Quote to invoice, one tap
An accepted quote becomes an invoice instantly — CIS deductions and the VAT domestic reverse charge worked out for you.
Built for the site, not the office
Every screen is built for one hand, bright sun, and gloves that don't come off between jobs.
Readable in full sun
High contrast, big text — no squinting at a screen with the sun behind you on a scaffold.
Built to hit first time
Every button's a proper target, not a tiny tick-box you have to stab at with a cold thumb.
Keeps working with no signal
No bars in the loft or the basement? Speak the job anyway — it queues and builds the quote the second you're back online.
iOS app with Face ID
One glance and you're in. No typing passwords with dusty hands between jobs.
Built thumb-first
Every primary action sits inside a target big enough to hit with a gloved thumb on the first try — not shrunk down to fit a desktop layout.
One plan. £29.99 a month.
Everything unlocked, no tiers to work out. First 14 days are free — no card needed to start.
