The problem

The gap between what was quoted and what gets invoiced is where disputes start.

Tradeable closes it — with a signed approval for every change

Apr 2026
Making Tax Digital became mandatory for sole traders earning over £50,000. April 2027 brings the threshold down to £30,000.

How it works

Found extra work? Get it approved before you carry on.

No more "I never agreed to that". The moment scope changes, your customer approves it on their phone — and it's saved to the Job History before you pick the tools back up.

Step 01 · on site

Add the change

Add the line, a one-line reason, and a photo. The new total updates instantly.

You · 14:30
Step 02 · customer

They approve

Customer gets an SMS, opens one link — no app, no login — sees the photo and total, and taps Approve.

Customer · 14:32
Step 03 · locked

It's on the record

The approval, with name and time, is written to the Job History. When you invoice, every line was already agreed. Dispute? Show the trail.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. The Living Quote, invoicing and your full history are free. You only pay if you want more than 3 active jobs at a time, or the Premium extras.

Does my customer need the app?

Never. They get a text or email with one link, open it in their browser, and approve. No download, no account, no password.

What if a customer disputes a bill?

Open the Job History. Every change shows who approved it and when. On Premium you can export the invoice as a PDF.

Which trades is it for?

Any UK sole trader. Tradeable covers the general trades; Tradeable Mechanic — in development — adds vehicle records and DVLA lookup for garages.
