Overview

A clearer way to manage your painter decorator paperwork

Painting and decorating is finish-quality trade work — prep matters more than topcoat, customers see every line and every drip, and the work is judged at handover by people who've been living next to it for the duration. The brushwork is your craft; the paperwork around it (room-by-room scope, materials specification, prep-vs-finish line items, completion sign-off, GDPR for owner data) is what protects margin when a customer queries a wall colour or a finish. LaunchKit gives UK painter-decorators ready-made templates for that whole layer: business documents (room-by-room scope, materials specification, supply-and-paint quote, completion sign-off, photo consent, GDPR notice, complaint procedure), financial trackers and invoicing, the free MTD readiness check and editorial guidance for planning around current Making Tax Digital rules, a pricing calculator that handles per-room, per-square-metre and project-based work, an AI copy kit for customer comms, and a startup guide. Every template is UK-specific, A4 print-ready and built around how UK painter-decorators actually quote prep-and-finish work, manage snag lists and reconcile margin per project.

What we solve

Common UK admin problems we solve

  • Room-by-room scope agreed verbally, with no written record when a customer adds rooms on the day or queries which surfaces were primed
  • Prep work (sanding, filling, lining) priced as part of total, with no clean line-item view when a customer queries why prep took longer than topcoat
  • Per-room vs per-square-metre vs project pricing inconsistent across jobs, with underlying earn-per-day hard to read at quarter-end
  • Self-assessment compiled each January from card statements, paint-merchant accounts and prep-day notes, with MTD ITSA quarterly reporting from April 2026 now in scope
  • The same enquiry replies, paint-day schedule confirmations and snag-handover follow-ups rewritten from blank every job

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these painter-decorator templates UK-specific?
Yes. A4 print-ready, GBP, UK conventions for room scope, materials specification, prep-and-finish quoting and customer paperwork. The scope template reflects how UK painter-decorators typically document surface preparation, finish specification and per-room sign-off.
Do the templates cover the line between prep, paint and snag?
Yes. The scope template separates prep (sanding, filling, priming) from finish (undercoat, topcoat, finish trim) as line items, and the completion sign-off includes a snag-list section so the customer's pre-handover comments are recorded against the sheet rather than emerging weeks later.
How should I check Making Tax Digital requirements?
Use current GOV.UK guidance and confirm any software workflow against HMRC compatible-software and digital-link requirements.
What file formats do I get?
Essential Business Documents are starter PDFs with a fillable business-name header. Customisable Financial Forms are browser-personalisable HTML. Premium arrives in two downloads: interactive fillable PDFs plus editable DOCX files, and a separate fill-online HTML bundle. The pricing calculator is an Excel workbook. The AI Copy Kit contains 4 editable DOCX files and 4 read-only reference PDFs; it does not generate content automatically.
