The real competitor is a 10-year-old Excel template. We make quoting faster than the spreadsheet — and the invoice actually gets paid.

It really is this simple

The big tools are overkill for a one-van business

Jobber, Housecall Pro, Simpro — powerful, but priced and built for crews with schedulers, dispatchers and office staff. You just need to quote, get accepted, and get paid.

“Is Jobber worth it for a solo handyman, or is it just built for bigger crews?”

r/HandymanBusiness

“Housecall Pro can feel like overkill and the pricing stacks up fast.”

r/handyman

“I’ve used an Excel template to type quotes and invoices for over 10 years.”

r/smallbusiness

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

The bit US tools get wrong

CIS and VAT, handled the UK way

Construction Industry Scheme deductions come off labour only— never materials, never the VAT. Get it wrong and your figures don't reconcile. SparkQuote applies your CIS status (gross, 20% registered, or 30% unverified) automatically and shows the client exactly what to pay now.

  • ✔️ Per-line VAT at 20%, 5% or 0%
  • ✔️ CIS deducted from the labour subtotal only
  • ✔️ “Amount due now” after the contractor's withholding
  • ✔️ Your VAT number and CIS status on every document

VAT£77.00

Questions

Is it really just for electricians?

That’s our first focus — the VAT/CIS handling and language are built for UK sparks. Plumbers and other trades are next.

Do you handle CIS deductions?

Yes. Set your CIS status and SparkQuote deducts it from labour only on every quote and invoice, showing the amount due after withholding.

Can my client pay online?

Every invoice can carry a pay link. Connect Stripe to take card payments; without it you can still send and track invoices.

Does it work on my phone?

It’s built phone-first and installs to your home screen like an app. Works one-handed, on-site.

What if I already use a spreadsheet?

Import your saved prices once, then quoting is faster than the spreadsheet — and your client can accept and pay from the same link.
