Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches roofers tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Quotes take days to turn around
Customers chase three roofers and go with the first to reply. Build a detailed quote from the survey on your phone and send it before you leave the drive.
Working at height paperwork all over the place
Risk assessments and scaffold checks half-done on clipboards. Complete your working at height and scaffold inspections digitally, time-stamped with photos.

Common questions
Can I record working at height and scaffold inspections in Gaffer?
Yes. The Roofer Trade Pack includes working at height assessments and scaffold inspection forms you complete on site, with photo evidence stored against the job.
Does it work offline?

Will it connect to my accounting software?
Yes. Invoices and customers sync with Xero and QuickBooks, so there is no double entry.
