Built for UK trades

Which businesses does Day Worksheet suit?

It is built for people who charge for time, materials and equipment, and who need a clear record of what was done on site.

Who is Day Worksheet for?

Day Worksheet is for UK tradespeople and small trade businesses — electricians, plumbers and heating engineers, builders and groundworkers, roofers, maintenance and facilities teams, and small teams of subcontractors. It suits anyone who records labour, materials and equipment on site and has to produce a job sheet or invoice from it.

It fits if…

  • You charge for time, materials and equipment and need to show how a figure was reached
  • You get asked for proof of what was done, or you have been paid late for want of it
  • Work changes on site and the extras have to be evidenced
  • More than one person works on a job at different rates
  • You want the paperwork finished before you leave, not on a Sunday evening

It is probably not for you if…

  • You need full project management, scheduling and staff rotas across a large workforce
  • You need accounting software — this produces job sheets and invoices, not your year-end accounts
  • You work entirely from a desktop computer and never carry a phone to site

We would rather say that plainly than have you pay for something that does not suit the way you work.
