Emergency callout at 7am, boiler quote at noon, bathroom job billed in stages — PaidDesk keeps a plumbing business paid without paperwork stacking up in the van.
PaidDesk is accounting software for UK plumbers and heating engineers. It handles emergency-callout invoices on the spot, quotes for boiler installs and bathroom refits, deposits for parts and materials, on-site card payments through your own Stripe or SumUp account, and automatic chasing of late payments. A built-in AI assistant lets you do the admin between jobs. It is a one-time £595 licence with no monthly subscription.
Plumbing work splits into two rhythms. There are the emergencies — a burst pipe, a leaking cylinder, a broken-down boiler in winter — where you fix it fast and need paying there and then. And there are the planned installs — a new boiler, a bathroom refit, a full central-heating system — that need a proper quote, a deposit for the boiler or suite, and staged invoicing as the work is done.
Trying to run both through a receipt book means chasing money after the fact. PaidDesk lets you bill the right way for each.
