For UK plumbers & heating engineers
Run your plumbing business without the paperwork pile-up
Plumbing work swings between five-minute call-outs and week-long bathroom installs, and the admin has to cope with both. TradeSmart gives you a call-out and day-rate calculator, quote and invoice templates you can send from your phone between jobs, and a customer history so you know exactly what you fitted at number 42 three winters ago.
The admin problems plumbers tell us about
Emergency call-outs priced on the spot
Work out a call-out fee, labour and parts markup in seconds instead of guessing at the kerbside and losing margin on the drive home.
Parts and merchant receipts everywhere
Log copper, fittings and boiler parts against the job they belong to so materials never quietly eat the profit on a fixed-price install.
Service records you actually need later
Keep boiler makes, models and last service dates against each customer so annual service reminders and repeat work are easy to chase.
How a plumbing business uses TradeSmart
- 1Price the call-out or install with the Job Pricing & Profit Calculator before you quote.
- 2Send a branded quote from the van, then convert it to an invoice the moment the job is signed off.
- 3Log parts and merchant spend against the job so your VAT and profit figures stay honest.

Plumbers — common questions
- Can I price emergency call-outs differently from planned work?
- Yes — set a separate call-out rate, out-of-hours uplift and materials markup in the pricing calculator and save it as your standard.
- Does it handle VAT on plumbing work?
- Quotes and invoices show net, VAT and gross totals, and the expenses tracker separates VAT on your purchases so quarter-end is a lot less painful.
