Roofers and external works

Weather-affected work at height where access equipment and proof photos matter more than anywhere else.

How does Day Worksheet work for roofers and external works?

Day Worksheet is a job sheet app for roofers and external works. You record hours including time lost or gained to weather, log scaffold, towers and other access equipment, attach photos from height that prove condition and completion, and produce a branded sheet and invoice from the phone.

What usually goes wrong

  • Weather stops the day and there is no record of why the programme slipped
  • Scaffold and access hire are not tied to the job that used them
  • The customer never sees the state of the roof before the work started
  • Materials are estimated by area afterwards instead of recorded on the day

What you end up with

  • Hours lost or gained to weather
  • Scaffold, towers and access equipment
  • Photos from height as proof of condition and completion
  • Materials recorded by area covered
  • Signature from the property owner or contractor

Questions

Can I record time lost to weather?

Yes. Hours are entered against the job with your own description, so a rained-off half day is on the record rather than remembered later.

How many photos can I attach?

Up to four images per job sheet on the current plans, which usually covers condition found, work in progress and the finished result.

Can I add scaffold hire to the job?

Yes. Scaffold, towers and other access equipment go on the equipment section of the sheet and carry through to the invoice.

Does it work on an iPad?

Yes. The app runs on iPhone and iPad from the App Store, and on Android phones from Google Play.
