About SoloDesks
SoloDesks is job management for a business of one: quoting, invoicing and job scheduling for solo tradespeople. Plumbers, electricians, painters, landscapers and handymen. Built for one person working alone, not a firm with staff to manage.
Build an itemised quote on your phone while you are still on the job, and send it as a branded PDF. Your client opens a private link and taps Accept. An accepted quote becomes an invoice in one tap: same lines, same prices, no retyping.
When an invoice goes quiet, Overdue Autopilot emails your client a nudge at 7 days, a firmer one at 14 and a final notice at 21. It goes out under your business name, replies come to you, and it stops the moment you mark it paid.
Every job sits on a calendar with the client's address, so you can plan a day's route. VAT and CIS are handled properly, in pounds.
Free plan, no card: 10 quotes, 10 invoices and 10 emailed PDFs a month, unlimited clients and jobs. Pro is 12 GBP a month, flat, never per user.

TradeKwote
TradeKwote is AI-powered quoting and invoicing software built specifically for UK tradespeople, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, landscapers, and builders. It turns rough, on-site job notes into a professional, branded PDF quote in under 60 seconds, with VAT calculated automatically and pricing broken down line by line. Once a client accepts the quote, it converts into an invoice with a single click, so there's no need to redo any work or switch between separate tools.
TradeKwote was built by a former carpenter who got tired of writing quotes by hand at the kitchen table every night, and it's designed around how tradespeople actually work on-site — fast, mobile-friendly, and free of unnecessary admin. Every quote and invoice carries your own branding, so customers see a polished, consistent presentation regardless of how busy the job schedule gets.
