UK compliance built in
Gas Safe, EICR, FENSA and other certificates plus RAMS are part of the platform — built for UK regulations, not bolted on for the US market.
⚡ Gaffer vs ServiceTitan
The ServiceTitan alternative built for UK trades
ServiceTitan is enterprise-grade software built and priced for large US contractors — powerful, but heavy and costly for a UK SMB trade. Gaffer gives you the full job lifecycle, with UK compliance baked in, for a price that makes sense.
No credit card required · Built for UK trades · Web & Android (iOS coming soon)
Why UK trades choose Gaffer over ServiceTitan
CIS handled
Construction Industry Scheme deductions and statements are understood out of the box — something US-first platforms simply don't cover.
Offline-first mobile app
Complete jobs, capture photos and finish certificates with no signal — in a loft, basement or rural site — and it all syncs later.
AI quote from photos
Snap a few photos on site and let Gaffer draft an itemised quote in seconds, so you send tidy quotes faster and win more work.
Built-in VoIP
Make and take calls, log them against the job and customer, and keep your whole communication history in one place.
Two-way accounting sync
Customers and invoices sync both ways with Xero and QuickBooks — no double entry and no export-import faff. See all features.
Switching from ServiceTitan is painless
One-click import brings your business across in minutes — customers, jobs, quotes and invoices included — so you keep your history and skip the re-keying. See simple pricing from £29/mo.
- Customer records with contact details and history
- Jobs and their status
- Quotes and estimates with line items
- Invoices and payment records
- Sites, assets and service histories
- Notes and documents attached to each job
