8 ways Trade2Base helps plasterers

Quotes, material tracking, customer sign-off and marketing attribution in one system.

๐Ÿ“
Quote by room or mยฒ

Build itemised quotes broken down by room or square meterage. Customers see exactly what each area costs โ€” reducing scope disputes before you even start.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ
Track skim vs rendering jobs

Tag jobs by type โ€” skimming, rendering, dry lining, bonding coat or scratch coat. Filter your pipeline and invoicing by job type to see where your work is coming from.

๐Ÿงฑ
Material cost tracking

Track plasterboard, bags of multi-finish, bonding, beads and mesh per job. Add waste allowances and compare actual spend vs your quoted material costs.

๐Ÿ“ธ
Before and after photo upload

Capture substrate condition before you start and finished surface photos on completion. Share via the customer portal โ€” useful for property managers and insurance work.

โœ…
Customer sign-off portal

Send customers a link to review job progress, approve quotes and sign off completed work. No app download needed โ€” works on any phone.

๐Ÿ“ฌ
Leaflet campaign attribution

Track which leaflet drop, Facebook ad or referral is generating your plastering enquiries. Know your cost per job by marketing channel.

๐Ÿ’ฌ
WhatsApp job updates

Send appointment confirmations, start-of-day notifications and completion messages via WhatsApp. Customers respond faster than to texts or calls.

๐Ÿงพ
VAT invoicing

Generate CIS-ready or standard VAT invoices on job completion. Mark paid, track overdue amounts and connect to Xero or QuickBooks.

What plasterers say about Trade2Base

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

โ€œI used to quote from memory and always forgot something โ€” bonding coat, corner beads, the extra bags of multi-finish. Now every quote is itemised and my material costs are tracked. My margins have gone up 8% in six months.โ€

โ€œThe before and after photos on the portal have been brilliant for property managers. They sign off the job without visiting site. I get paid on completion day instead of waiting two weeks for someone to come and inspect.โ€

โ€œTracking render vs skim jobs separately was exactly what I needed. I can see which type of work is most profitable and which jobs are eating into my time. Dry lining is 40% of my turnover now โ€” I would not have known that before Trade2Base.โ€

Common questions from plasterers

Can I track render vs skim jobs separately?

Yes โ€” you can tag each job by type (skimming, rendering, dry lining, bonding coat) and filter your pipeline, invoices and reports by job type. You will see clearly which type of work generates the most revenue and margin.

How do I handle VAT on plastering materials?

Trade2Base generates fully VAT-compliant invoices with materials and labour broken out. If you work for developers or under CIS, you can switch between standard VAT invoicing and CIS deduction statements per customer.

Can customers approve quotes before I start?

Yes โ€” send customers a portal link where they can review the full itemised quote, ask questions and sign off digitally. You get a notification when they approve and the job status updates automatically.

Does it work offline on site?

Yes โ€” the Trade2Base mobile app works offline for capturing photos, updating job status and logging materials used. Everything syncs when you reconnect to signal or Wi-Fi.
