The Trade Kit — The back-office kit for SA tradespeople

Roofer Quote & Invoice Software South Africa

Roofing work in South Africa is high-stakes — leaks destroy ceilings, storms strip sheeting, and insurance claims demand proper documentation. Roofers need quotes that itemise removed materials, new tiles or IBR sheeting, underlay, flashing, labour, and access equipment like scaffolding or safety harnesses. The Trade Kit helps roofing contractors produce professional, VAT-compliant quotes that homeowners, body corporates, and insurers take seriously. Document storm damage repairs with clear before-and-after scope in your line items and notes. Quote partial tile replacements differently from full re-roofs, and add waterproofing membranes as separate lines so clients understand the system they are paying for. Email quotes from the ladder before leaving site, schedule follow-up inspections on the job calendar, and invoice when the job passes final check. Sequential invoice numbering keeps SARS happy, and payment reminders help you collect deposits on large projects. From corrugated iron repairs in townships to tile restorations on heritage homes, The Trade Kit handles the paperwork so you can focus on staying safe at height.
