How Gruntwork works for roofers.
Reg sits in WhatsApp alongside your customers and suppliers. Just tell him what you need. He's on standby 24/7, and never complains.
|
Send a voice note or text
Tell Reg about a job in your own words, from the van or the roof. Talk like you would to anyone else.
Reg sorts the quote
He prices it from your own rates, puts your branding on it and sends it over. He schedules the job into your calendar once they accept.
That's the Harrison job paid. £520 in, logged to Xero.
He chases it home
The invoice goes out with a payment link, and Reg chases anyone who's late. Everything gets logged to Xero or QuickBooks.
Less admin.More roofing.
You're on the scaffold, the customer wants a price. Gruntwork gets it quoted from your phone, while the job's still fresh. You keep your evening free.
Quote from the scaffold.
Voice note the job. Reg prices it off your rates and has the quote ready before you're down the ladder.

Invoices chased for you.

MTD sorted for roofers.
Every roofing job logs to Xero or QuickBooks automatically. When MTD quarterly comes round, the records are already there.
It's already live for sole traders over £50,000, and the £30,000 threshold follows in April 2027. Your records build up as you work, ready for you or your accountant to file. No Sunday-night scramble.
What MTD means for roofers →Roofing questions
Is Gruntwork suitable for a one-person roofing business?
Yes. Gruntwork is built for sole traders and small crews. You don't need an office, and you message Reg from the same WhatsApp you already use for customers.
Can Reg price a roof from a voice note?
Yes. Tell Reg the job in plain English, for example "32 square metres concrete tile re-roof, semi-detached, new battens and felt, four metres of lead". He builds a line-itemised quote using your pricing defaults and sends it back for you to check before it goes out.
Does Gruntwork handle Making Tax Digital for self-employed roofers?
Yes. Since April 2026, HMRC has required digital records from sole traders earning over £50,000, with the £30,000 threshold following in April 2027. Gruntwork logs every quote, invoice and payment to Xero or QuickBooks as you work, so your MTD quarterly submission is a tidy up rather than a rebuild.
What if I do a mix of pitched and flat roofing?
Gruntwork covers both. Pitched and flat roofing share one account. You can ask Reg for a flat roof quote in one message and a pitched re-roof quote in the next, and the right defaults apply to each.
How long does setup take?
About 10 minutes. Sign up, save your pricing defaults (you can paste them in or tell Reg in WhatsApp), and you're quoting.
