For high-value installation work
Software for bathroom and kitchen fitters
A six thousand pound job is not a bigger callout. The money comes in parts, the scope changes once the floor is up, and the one thing you cannot afford is a disagreement at the end about what was agreed. TaskMyJob is built for that shape.
No card needed to start. £29.99 a month after that, for the whole business.
Paid in three parts, not one hopeful invoice
Before anything is ordered
The quote, and the deposit with it
Send a branded, itemised quote with optional customer finance. They accept it and pay the deposit on their phone, and it is in your account before you place a materials order.
While the work is going on
Stages, and the extras you found
Bill at the points you agreed rather than waiting until the end. Anything you find once the floor is up gets priced on site and approved by whoever is paying, in writing, before you do it.
The day you finish
The balance, on the spot
Invoice on completion with the photos attached, take the card payment there and then, and let Revenue Radar chase anything still outstanding without you having to remember.
The last stage is the remainder, never a percentage. Twenty per cent plus forty plus forty of £9,999 rounds to a penny more than the job, and a customer whose invoices total more than their quote does not conclude there is a rounding bug. So the balance absorbs it, every time.
The arguments this could prevent
“I never agreed to that extra.”
Extras are priced on site and approved by whoever is paying, before the work is done. The approval is recorded with the time and the name.
“That damage was already there.”
Photos, video and voice notes saved against the job and dated. Internal until you decide to send them.
“I thought that was included.”
An itemised quote they accepted, kept exactly as it went out, and signed where you asked them to sign it.
“I will pay you next week.”
Invoice on completion, take the card there and then, and the ones that slip get chased without you remembering to.
Not only for fitters
What these businesses have in common is not a van. It is the shape of the money: a price agreed before the work starts, something taken on account, and the rest as it is done.
Garages and workshops
A rebuild or a restoration quoted up front, a deposit against the parts, and the balance when the keys go back.
Solicitors and accountants
Money on account before the work starts, a fixed fee billed in stages, and appointments that happen by phone or online rather than at an address.
Anybody selling a few thousand at a time
Landscapers, driveways, conservatories, flooring, windows. If the price is agreed before the work begins, the shape is the same.
Appointments can be at the customer, at your own premises, by phone or online — so a business that never leaves its office is an ordinary case here rather than something to work around.
Questions, answered
Can I take a deposit before I order the materials?
Yes. A quote can carry a deposit or a full payment schedule, and the customer pays it on their phone when they accept. Nothing is ordered on your money while you wait to find out whether the job is really happening.
Can I bill a big job in stages?
Yes. You set the stages — a deposit, one or more payments through the job, and the balance at the end. The last stage is always the remainder rather than a percentage, so a £9,999 job never invoices out to a penny more than it was quoted at.
What happens when I find extra work once the floor is up?
You price it on site and send it for approval, and the person who is paying agrees it before you do it. The approval is recorded against the job with the time and who gave it, so an extra is never a conversation nobody can prove.
Can I prove what the room looked like before I started?
Yes. Photos, video and voice notes are saved against the job, dated, and are internal until you choose to send them. That is what settles a claim that damage was already there, and it is the same record you can share with the customer when the job goes well.
Is this only for trades?
No. It fits any business that agrees a price up front, takes something on account and bills the rest as the work is done — a garage quoting a rebuild, a solicitor taking money on account, an accountant on a fixed annual fee. Appointments can be at the customer, at your premises, by phone or online, so a business that never leaves its office is a normal case rather than a workaround.
How much is it?
£29.99 a month for the whole business — every feature, everybody on your team, no add-ons. The first 60 days are free and you do not need a card to start.

60 days free with everything switched on, and no card to start. If you would rather ask something first, there is a person on the other end.
Also worth a look
Plenty of businesses are two of these at once. It is the same product and the same price either way.
