Made for the trade
Built for UK plumbers.
Trained on the way UK plumbers actually write up a job — boiler replacements, repiping, drain cleaning, fixture installs — not generic invoicing software that doesn't know what a call-out charge is.
Reads UK plumbing job notes
Whether you scrawl it on a work order or speak it from the van, our AI reads UK plumbing shorthand accurately. Call-out charges, boiler model numbers, fixture descriptions, part costs — all extracted into clean invoice line items without you touching a keyboard.

Great for boiler and repipe jobs
Boiler replacements and full repipes are your most common big-ticket jobs — and they involve a mix of labour hours, materials by part number, and sometimes permit references. Speak the job on the way back to the truck and the AI builds every line item for you. No laptop needed.
Plumbing invoice app UK
Why plumbers don't need full accounting software.
Most full accounting platforms are built for businesses running payroll, multi-user teams, and bank reconciliation. If you're a plumber who just needs to invoice a job, that's a lot of software — and a lot of monthly cost — to do one thing.
What to include on a UK plumber invoice
A proper plumbing invoice should always show your labour, parts, and the details customers and HMRC expect to see.
Labour (hours × rate)
Parts & materials used
Call-out fee
VAT (if registered)
Job description & site address
Invoice number & date

Plumber FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can I include call-out charges and after-hours rates?
Yes. Note your call-out charge, service call fee, or after-hours rate in your job notes or speak it aloud — the AI extracts it as a separate labour line on the invoice so your customer can see exactly what they're paying for.
Can I include my plumbing licence number?
Yes. Write your plumbing licence number anywhere in your job notes and it will appear on the invoice. Strongly recommended for commercial jobs, insurance work, and Gas Safe/NICEIC registered jobs — it keeps your paperwork clean and professional.
Does it work for boiler replacements and full repipes?
Absolutely. Boiler replacements, full repipes, drain cleaning, blocked drains, fixture installs — any plumbing job. The AI handles labour hours, materials with individual costs, and any permit or inspection references you include in your notes.
How do I handle VAT on plumbing invoices?
VAT on plumbing work depends on the type of job. Not VAT registered? Leave the VAT number blank and no VAT is added. Registered? Add your VAT number and VAT at the standard 20% rate is worked out for you. Check with your accountant for the correct VAT treatment.
Do I need an account?
No account needed to get started. Create a free account if you want to save your invoice history and access your dashboard — but you can snap your notes and pay £1 without signing up for anything.
