For Self-Employed Plumbers
The simple job management app for self-employed plumbers.
From leaking taps and urgent repairs to radiators, bathrooms and larger planned jobs, Sole Trader Pal gives UK plumbers one straightforward place to manage customers, quotes, jobs, invoices, payments and repeat work.
Pal remembers, so you don't have to.
Plumbing work doesn't arrive in a neat order.
A customer rings about a leak while you are already on a job. There is a bathroom quote waiting to go out, tomorrow's work to remember and an invoice from last week that still needs dealing with.
When you work for yourself, all of that admin belongs to the same person holding the tools.
Sole Trader Pal gives you one place to keep the customer and the work together instead of spreading the business across your diary, messages and memory.
From customer call to paid job.
Keep the important parts of a plumbing job connected whether it starts as a quick repair or a larger piece of planned work.
- Customer
- Quote
- Job
- Invoice
- Payment
- Repeat work
The job may be simple or complicated. Keeping track of the customer should not be.
One van. One phone. One business to keep on top of.
You do not need workforce dispatch software when the workforce is you.
You need to know who the customer is, where the job is, what you agreed, what you quoted, whether you have invoiced it and whether the money came in.
Sole Trader Pal is designed around those everyday questions.
Keep the plumbing admin moving with the job.
Keep the customer information and business admin close without turning every callout into more paperwork.
- Customers: Keep customer details, addresses and previous work together so you have useful context when somebody calls again.
- Quotes: Create professional quotes for planned work such as installations, bathroom work or larger repairs.
- Jobs: Keep urgent and planned work organised so you can see what is booked and what comes next.
- Invoices: Create clear invoices from the same customer information instead of rebuilding the paperwork after the job.
- Payments: Record payments and keep sight of invoices that are still outstanding.
- Repeat work: Keep customer history together so somebody you helped before remains a customer rather than becoming another unknown number in your phone.
Built for self-employed plumbers, not a dispatch office.
Larger plumbing firms may need engineer tracking, team timesheets, stock systems, compliance workflows and office dashboards.
Those features make sense for businesses that need them. They should not be the price of simply keeping your own customers and jobs organised.
Sole Trader Pal is deliberately built around the needs of the person doing the plumbing and running the business.
Your business. Sorted.
Keep the quick jobs and the bigger jobs in the same business.
Not every plumbing customer needs the same thing. One job is a quick repair. Another needs a quote and a return visit. Another becomes a larger piece of planned work.
Sole Trader Pal gives you a consistent customer-and-job workflow without pretending every plumbing job follows exactly the same pattern.
Questions from self-employed plumbers
- Can I use Sole Trader Pal for both callouts and planned plumbing work?
- Yes. Sole Trader Pal can be used to organise different types of customer jobs, whether it is a smaller repair or work that needs quoting and scheduling in advance.
- Can I create plumbing quotes and invoices?
- Yes. Sole Trader Pal lets you create and manage customer quotes and invoices and keep them connected to the relevant customer and job.
- Can I use Sole Trader Pal if I am VAT registered?
- Yes. If your plumbing business is VAT registered, Sole Trader Pal can be configured for VAT, including the VAT rate used by your business.
- Does Sole Trader Pal create Gas Safe certificates?
- No. Sole Trader Pal is not Gas Safe certification software and does not replace the approved records or specialist systems you need for regulated gas work. It is designed to manage the customer, quote, job, invoice and payment side of your business.
- Can I use it if I do heating work as well as plumbing?
- Yes. Sole Trader Pal is not restricted to one type of plumbing service. You can use it to organise the customers and jobs your business takes on.
- Is Sole Trader Pal suitable for a one-person plumbing business?
- Yes. That is the main audience it is designed for. Sole Trader Pal focuses on the useful business-management tools a sole trader needs without adding team-management features simply for the sake of it.
- Does Sole Trader Pal dispatch engineers or track a plumbing team?
- No. Sole Trader Pal is built primarily for businesses of one rather than firms that need engineer dispatch, staff tracking or workforce-management software.
- Can I keep previous plumbing work against the same customer?
- Yes. Keeping customer and job history together gives you useful context when somebody you have worked for before contacts you again.
