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.

Will the MTD compliance kit help with the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes?

Yes. The kit is structured for clean quarterly bookkeeping — categorised income (interior, exterior, commercial, materials pass-through), categorised expenses (paint, materials, mileage, equipment), quarter-by-quarter summary. Submit through MTD-compatible software yourself, or hand the file to your accountant.

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.

Business documents£11.99

Business Documents — Standard

You're qualified, you're insured, you turn up. The job side is sorted — what slows the business down is the paper trail. Quotes, risk assessments, certificates and consent forms get written from scratch on a phone between jobs; templates pulled from random forums give you mismatched fonts and inconsistent terminology that doesn't read like one professional business. This Standard pack delivers the 17 documents a painter decorator actually uses week to week — Client Registration Property Details, Property Survey Condition Report, Consent Liability Waiver, Service Agreement Terms, Quote Estimate Form, Colour Finish Selection Record, COSHH Assessment, Risk Assessment Working At Height, plus GDPR Privacy Notice, Accident Incident Report, Completion Sign Off Certificate, Invoice Receipt, Cancellation Refund Policy, Complaint Feedback Form, Business Insurance Declaration, Photo Consent and Aftercare Maintenance Guide. Each PDF carries a fillable header — type your business name and trading details once, then print or save. UK-specific terminology, A4 print-ready, no Canva and no monthly software. Built for sole-trader and small-firm UK painters and decorators who want one consistent paper trail across every job.

AI copy kit£14.99

AI Copy Kit

Most painter decorators would rather be on the tools than writing enquiry replies, quote follow-ups, social posts and review requests. Every message takes ten minutes you'd rather spend on a job, and the result is patchy communication and a nagging sense that the marketing side of the business is permanently behind. This AI Copy Kit gives you 120+ ready-made messages, prompts and templates written specifically for UK painters and decorators. Four components: an AI Copy Kit Main with 30 structured playbooks for every communication scenario from first enquiry to final invoice follow-up; Copy Banks for quick-grab messages by situation; Email Templates for client onboarding, job completion, payment reminders and seasonal promotions; and an Automation Guide showing how to use the templates with AI tools, including reusable prompt formulas for any future message — covering quote follow-ups, booking confirmations, invoice chases, review requests and seasonal promo posts. Editable DOCX plus PDF reference copies. UK-specific tone. Copy, customise, send.

Business Documents — Essential

A painter-decorator winning the first private rooms and full-house jobs needs paperwork in the van before the first dust sheet is laid — not the full trade fleet, just the records that back up a survey, a colour brief and a finished-job sign-off. This Essentials kit for a painter and decorator carries five documents: client registration with property details, a property survey and condition report, consent and liability waiver, service agreement terms, and the GDPR privacy notice. All five arrive as PDFs with a fillable header — your painting and decorating business name sits at the top, you print or save, and the job folder looks like a painter and decorator who records the condition before the first undercoat. Cleaner than a scribbled job sheet, calmer than arguing over a pre-existing crack once the ceilings are rolled.

Business Documents — Premium

A painter and decorator moves between private homes, landlord turnarounds and commercial contracts - and the paperwork has to scale from a front-room quote on a Saturday to a twenty-room office refurb over a bank holiday weekend without the voice changing between them at any stage. LaunchKit Premium for a painter and decorator covers all 17 business documents as interactive fillable PDF plus editable Word. Quotation, colour schedule, site risk assessment and snagging list fill in on a tablet on site, and the customer terms, subcontractor agreement, project schedule, feedback form and complaint procedure rebrand in Word with your decorating business name, trade association reference and branding. Invoice template, warranty statement, insurance declaration, aftercare sheet and GDPR notice all match in tone. Two formats from one download - the decorator's admin side keeps pace with the brushwork instead of trailing it.

Financial forms£11.99

Financial Forms Bundle — Standard

The job's done, the customer wants the invoice, and the merchant account is waiting on receipts. Trade work moves fast and the financial admin has to keep pace — quotes that match the work scope, invoices with the job reference a main contractor expects, a materials and mileage record that holds up at Self Assessment. This Standard pack covers the core financial admin a painter decorator business runs day to day — quote and estimate forms, branded invoice templates, receipt and payment records, expense logs split between materials, tools, van and subcontractor spend, a mileage log for site travel, a monthly income summary, a VAT log for those who are registered, and an annual accounts prep sheet. Each PDF carries a fillable header — type your business name and trading details once, then print or save. UK Self Assessment categories pre-aligned, A4 print-ready, no monthly software commitment. Built for sole-trader and small-firm painters and decorators who want a clean paper trail before year-end.

Financial Forms Bundle — Premium

A painter and decorator's financial picture spans residential and commercial jobs, materials costs that vary widely by project, and the mileage that comes with working across a patch. The invoice needs to go out promptly — especially on residential jobs where payment is often collected on completion. This set covers the financial forms that sit behind the work: per-job invoices, a materials cost log, a mileage record, a subcontractor or labour expense tracker where relevant, and a monthly income summary for Self Assessment. The forms come as fillable PDFs for completing on a phone or tablet after finishing a job, and editable Word documents for the home office. Financial records that are consistent across residential and commercial work, ready for your accountant without any reconstruction at year end.

MTD compliance£16.99

MTD Compliance Kit — Premium

Making Tax Digital is becoming part of the record-keeping reality for many self-employed painters and decorators, and the real headache isn't the rule — it's keeping records clean across a year of callouts, materials runs, mileage and CIS deductions when half the receipts live in the van glovebox and half in your inbox. This Compliance Kit is an Excel workbook covering Income Tracker, Expense Log, Expense Summary, Quarterly Summary, Annual Summary, Reconciliation, Mileage Log with a simplified-vs-actual switch, Year-End Adjustments, Tax Reserve Scenarios, Evidence Log, Compliance Warnings, Allowable Expenses Guide, Deadline Calendar, Quarterly Checklist, and an Executive Dashboard that surfaces the figures your accountant actually asks for. Available in England and Scotland versions to match where the business is based. Built for UK sole-trader painters and decorators who want quarterly review to be a 30-minute job, not a weekend search through receipts. Not a tax-return tool — a record-keeping workbook for organising your figures — a record-keeping foundation that makes filing simpler.

Pricing calculator£14.99

Pricing Calculator — Premium

Painters and decorators who price a full interior the same way they price a single room — and who absorb wallpaper hanging and specialist finishes as extras — end up giving away the skilled hours every time. This Premium pricing calculator rebuilds the picture. Thirteen service lines come pre-loaded — interior and exterior domestic painting, wallpaper hanging, wallpaper stripping, commercial decorating, specialist finishes, ceiling painting and artex covering, wood staining and varnishing, floor painting, new-build developer contracts, landlord void turnaround, insurance restoration, and exterior rendering — each with editable labour hours and paint cost. Enter your hourly rate once and every service rebuilds with margin shown alongside. A quote builder handles whole-property quotes, a job log tracks site days, an expenses tracker keeps paint and materials spend visible, and a monthly dashboard shows per-job profitability. Delivered as one Excel workbook for UK painter and decorator businesses — price with confidence.

Social media kit£4.99

Social Media Content Kit

You know social media matters. The painter-decorators in your area who post regularly stay visible when someone finally decides to redecorate the hallway they've hated for years, or when a landlord needs three flats turned around between tenancies. But between filling and sanding, cutting in, and chasing the next quote, sitting down to write a caption is the last thing on your list — you finish a room, think "I should post that before-and-after from the lounge we just did," close the app, and a month goes by. This kit removes that problem. You get 64 ready-to-edit captions covering the work you actually do — interior painting, exterior and masonry, wallpapering, surface prep and standards, colour and consultation, feature walls and finishes, woodwork and trim, trust and standards, local and community, bookings, rebooking and reviews. Captions are organised by topic and written in plain UK English so they sound like your business the moment you drop in your details. Plus 10 fully scripted Reels, a 4-week posting calendar, bio templates for Instagram, Facebook and Google Business, DM and reply templates, and a localisation worksheet that makes every caption sound like your business, not a template. Fill in your details once. The whole kit adapts to your area, your services, and your way of working — built specifically for UK painter-decorators.

Who this is for

Built for painter decorator businesses

UK self-employed painter-decorators — domestic and small-commercial, supply-and-paint and labour-only, working interior and exterior work.

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, an MTD-ready bookkeeping kit aligned to the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes, 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
