Quote jobs from photos, get extra work approved and send invoices. UK trades.
JobGuard is a quote, extra work and invoice app for UK builders and tradespeople. It is made to be used on your phone, on site, between jobs.
PRICE A JOB FROM PHOTOS
Take a few photos, describe the job by voice or text, and JobGuard suggests a price range for every line, based on current UK labour rates, merchant prices and your own past jobs. You choose the final figures. It also lists the things that are easy to miss, like waste removal, making good or extra materials, so they don't come out of your pocket.
QUOTES CLIENTS CAN SIGN ON THEIR PHONE
Send a professional quote with your logo and VAT number. Your client opens a link, enters a 6-digit PIN and accepts it on their phone. No app or account needed on their side. You see when it was opened and when it was signed.
EXTRA WORK APPROVED BEFORE YOU START
When the job changes, add the extra work with photos and a price. The client approves it on their phone before you do it, and every approval is dated. No more arguments about extras at the final invoice.
INVOICES IN A MINUTE
The invoice fills itself from the quote, the approved extra work and payments already received. Deposits, stage payments, VAT and CIS are handled. Add your bank details, send it by link or PDF and set payment reminders. You can also send a quick invoice without a job.
A DATED RECORD OF EVERY JOB
Photos, notes, client approvals, receipts and timesheets stay together in one place, with dates. If a client disputes something, you can download a full evidence pack for the job.
WORKS ON SITE
Capture photos and notes with no signal. They upload when you are back online, and each photo keeps the time and the weather on site.
A PAGE FOR YOUR CLIENT
Every job gets a private client page with progress, photos, extra work waiting for a decision and weekly updates, so clients see where things are without calling you. Quotes, messages and the client page can be in the client's own language: 16 languages, including Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Portuguese and Spanish.
SEE WHAT YOU ARE OWED
Your dashboard shows what is unpaid, what is waiting for the client and what you can still invoice, across all your jobs. Snap receipts so materials are never forgotten: JobGuard reads them, and the ones your client pays back go on the invoice by themselves. Fixed price, hourly or day rate jobs.
FOR SMALL TEAMS (TEAM PLAN)
Add up to 5 foremen. They send site reports, photos, hours and receipts from their own phones, and you check everything before it goes into the job. Set a rate for each person and see what you owe them each week, then mark it paid.
WHO IT IS FOR
Sole traders and small firms in building, renovation, kitchens and bathrooms, plumbing, heating, electrics, plastering, tiling, painting and decorating, carpentry, joinery and roofing.
