Who this is for
Built for handyman businesses
UK self-employed handyman businesses — multi-trade light works, day-rate and fixed-job, regulated work referred out, mostly domestic customers.
Overview
A clearer way to manage your handyman paperwork
What we solve
Common UK admin problems we solve
- Scope-of-works left vague at quote stage, then expanded on the day — and the customer's expectation drifts past what was actually agreed
- Day-rate vs fixed-job decision made differently per quote, with no clear rule on when to switch and no clean view of which earns more
- Regulated work (gas, electrical, building control) handled by referral but not documented, leaving a grey area when customers ask why one job is in scope and another isn't
- Self-assessment compiled each January from card statements, materials receipts and rough notes, with MTD ITSA quarterly reporting from April 2026 now in scope
- Customer expectation set verbally, with no completion sign-off and disputes settling on goodwill rather than paper
- The same enquiry replies, quote-and-scope cover notes, materials-on-the-way texts and post-job photo follow-ups rewritten from blank every job
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Are these handyman templates UK-specific?
- Yes. A4 print-ready, GBP, UK conventions for scope, quoting, invoicing and customer paperwork. The scope-of-works template explicitly defers regulated trades (gas, electrical, building-control work) to qualified contractors — the templates are for multi-trade light works, not regulated trade replacement.
- Do the templates cover the line between handyman and regulated trade work?
- Yes. The scope-of-works template includes a deferral clause for regulated work and a referral record so you can document who you've passed regulated jobs to. This is practical scope discipline, not legal advice — your insurer's policy wording is the regulating document.
- Will the MTD compliance kit help with the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes?
- Yes. The kit is structured for clean quarterly bookkeeping — categorised income (day-rate, fixed-job, call-out, materials pass-through), categorised expenses (mileage, materials, tools, training), quarter-by-quarter summary. Submit through MTD-compatible software yourself, or hand the file to your accountant.
- Can the pricing calculator handle day-rate vs fixed-job?
- Yes. The workbook models work as day-rate, fixed-job or call-out with modifiers for travel, materials and complexity, so you can see what each shape actually earns per day and pick the right structure per quote.
- What file formats do I get?
- Most documents are PDFs with a fillable business-name header. Premium adds editable Word (.docx). The pricing calculator and MTD kit are Excel workbooks.
