Solodesks

SoloDesks is job management for a business of one. Quoting, invoicing and job scheduling for solo tradespeople: plumbers, electricians, painters and decorators, landscapers, handymen, cleaners, carpenters and tilers.

Most job software assumes a team and an office manager: seats, approvals, permissions. SoloDesks assumes there is exactly one of you.

Quote from the doorstep. Build an itemised quote on your phone while you are still standing in the job, and send it as a professional PDF with your own logo on it. Your client opens a private link and taps Accept. You see the status change straight away.

No retyping. An accepted quote becomes an invoice in one tap. Same lines, same prices, same client.

Overdue Autopilot chases for you. When an invoice goes quiet, SoloDesks emails your client a friendly nudge at 7 days, a firmer one at 14, and a final notice at 21. All of it goes out under your business name, replies come to you, and it stops the second you mark the invoice paid. You can mute any invoice you would rather handle yourself.

The rest of the week, too. Every job sits on a calendar with the client's address, so you can plan a day's route instead of crossing town twice. Get reminded before your Gas Safe registration, insurance or MOT runs out. Attach before-and-after photos to an invoice so the customer can see what they paid for.

Built around UK tax and trade rules, usable anywhere. Prices in pounds, VAT and CIS handled properly. The site also carries seven free calculators (day rate, tax set-aside, VAT, CIS deduction, late payment interest, deposits, markup vs margin) plus a free invoice generator and a payment-reminder writer, all usable without an account.

The free plan covers 10 quotes, 10 invoices, 10 emailed PDFs and 10 client accept-links a month, plus unlimited clients and jobs, with your own logo on every PDF. No card required. Pro is £12 a month, flat, never per user: unlimited quotes, invoices, PDFs and accept-links, Overdue Autopilot, Pay-now links, premium PDF styles, and PDFs with no SoloDesks credit line.
