Why Birmingham Decorators use TaskDrop

Built around how decorators actually work

The West Midlands has a particularly high density of self-employed tradespeople working across the domestic, commercial, and subcontract sectors — all of whom need compliant invoicing every day.

🖌️
Quote by room, invoice in full

Quote each room separately on WhatsApp. When the job's done, convert the whole quote to an invoice in one tap. Labour, materials, and paint costs all included — no spreadsheet needed.

📸
Job reports with scope of work

After a full interior repaint, generate a job report on WhatsApp detailing what was done. Useful for landlords who need documentation, or for disputes if a customer queries the work.

🔁
Return customer history

TaskDrop remembers your customers. The second time you work for the same client — new extension, new bathroom — their details are already there. No retyping names and addresses.

🧾
Materials broken out clearly

Break out labour and materials on your invoices so customers can see exactly what they're paying for. Helps justify your quote and builds trust with domestic customers.

⏰
Automatic payment reminders

TaskDrop sends polite payment reminders automatically if an invoice hasn't been paid. You don't have to chase — the message goes out for you.

💰
Get paid faster by card

Customer happy with the result? Your bank details are on every invoice automatically — sort code, account number and reference. Customer pays via their banking app, money arrives same day.
