Sound familiar?

Quotes at 9pm.

You measure up in the day and lose your evening turning scribbles into something a customer can say yes to.

Invoices that undersell you.

Your work is worth four figures. A homemade invoice makes every job look worth less than it is.

Chasing money by text.

The job is done. Getting paid should not be a second job.

The estimator is the difference.

Most trade apps hand you a blank line-item box and call it estimating. BrushDesk prices a job the way you price one: room by room, with paint and materials from a real catalogue and labour at your rates. Have a go.

Rooms, not line items.

Walls, ceilings, woodwork and exteriors, priced room by room with prep where the job needs it.

Materials done for you.

Paint and sundries come off a real catalogue, so the quote covers what the job actually uses.

Estimate to quote in one tap.

The numbers you build here become the quote your customer accepts online.

Get paid

Invoices with VAT and CIS done right, paid online by card through your own Stripe account.

Built for the trade, down to the deductions.

Generic job software treats VAT and CIS as someone else's problem. BrushDesk treats them as the job.

VAT, properly.

20% default, per-line rates and reverse charge where it applies. The invoice maths is never your problem again.

CIS without the spreadsheet.

Gross, net and unregistered rates handled on contractor payments, and never charged to your customer by mistake.

A back office that fits in a van.

Designed for a phone on site: big targets, fast pages, works in daylight.

Your customers see a clean, branded page.

Quotes to approve and invoices to pay by card. No app for them to download, no account for them to create.

What your customer sees when it is time to pay.

The founding 50.

The first 50 firms pay half price, for life. Sign up now and you will get an invite as we onboard firms in small groups. When your invite lands, you have 30 days to claim the founding rate. After 50 firms, it is gone and it is not coming back.

Questions, answered straight.

When can I get in?

We are onboarding firms in small groups so every firm gets set up properly. Sign up and you will get an email when your place is ready.

What exactly is the founding rate?

50% off the standard price, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. It applies to the first 50 firms, claimed by subscribing within 30 days of your invite.

How much will it cost?

Standard pricing is announced at launch. Founding members pay half of it, whatever it is, for life.

Will it work on my phone on site?

Yes. BrushDesk is built phone-first because that is where the work is. Estimates, job updates and invoices all work one-handed on a mobile.

I use subcontractors. Does it handle CIS?

Yes, natively. Contractor payments apply the right deduction (0%, 20% or 30%), CIS never leaks onto customer invoices, and your returns are a report, not a weekend.

Half price for life ends at firm number 50.
