🎤Voice notes at the yard

Hull washed and back on the trailer? Speak your job notes before the next haul-out — client, vessel, work done, hours. Invoice ready by the time you're at the next boat.

The full range

Every boat job, sorted.

From a quick hull wash to a full haul-out and survey prep, TradieNotes keeps up with the range of jobs UK boat maintenance operators actually run.

⚓Antifouling & haul-outs

Good practice for biofouling management includes ongoing hull maintenance, regular inspections, and record-keeping — an itemised invoice for each haul-out and antifoul doubles as part of that maintenance record for the boat owner.

🧽Niche-area biofouling cleans

Propellers, shafts, sea chests, and other niche areas need their own attention beyond a standard hull antifoul. Note niche-area cleaning separately and it's itemised as its own line.

📋Survey & certification prep

Work done ahead of an MCA Code of Practice survey or Boat Safety Scheme inspection — hull, safety gear, or engine prep — can be noted separately from routine maintenance so the owner sees exactly what was survey-driven.

Boat Maintenance FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can it handle antifouling and haul-out jobs?+
Yes. Antifouling application, haul-out and relaunch, and hull cleaning are read as separate services when you describe them separately — good practice includes keeping records of biofouling maintenance, and an itemised invoice doubles as part of that record.
Does it handle biofouling cleans for niche areas separately?+
Yes. Slime layer and macrofouling cleans on niche areas like propellers, shafts, and sea chests can be noted as their own line, separate from a full hull antifoul.
Can it handle engine servicing alongside hull work?+
Yes. Outboard or inboard engine servicing, oil changes, and impeller replacement are read as distinct line items from hull and antifouling work, even when done in the same haul-out visit.
Does it help with Boat Safety Scheme record-keeping?+
TradieNotes doesn't issue a Boat Safety Scheme certificate for you, but an itemised invoice with dates and work performed gives the boat owner a record of maintenance activities and inspections, which supports their BSS compliance file.
Can it handle survey and certification-related jobs?+
Yes. Note survey-related work, such as prep for an MCA Code of Practice survey, separately from routine maintenance so it's clear on the invoice what was survey-driven versus scheduled upkeep.
What does a typical haul-out and antifoul job cost?+
Costs vary widely by vessel size and yard, but a standard haul-out, wash, and antifoul for a mid-size recreational boat commonly runs several hundred to over a thousand pounds. Your invoice reflects whatever you actually charged.
Can I invoice for emergency or breakdown call-outs?+
Yes. Note it as a call-out or breakdown job and any call-out fee is itemised separately from the repair labour itself.
Are the invoices VAT and HMRC compliant?+
Yes — every invoice includes your VAT number (if registered), business name, itemised labour and materials, and meets HMRC requirements.
Do I need an account?+
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay £1.
