Painter and decorator business software for every stage

Whether you are a sole trader just starting out or a growing decorating contractor with multiple teams, Trade Assist scales with your business. The software is designed to work for a single decorator quoting from their van as well as for a limited company managing several jobs at once. You only pay for the features you need, and you can upgrade as your business grows.

Sole trader decorators

If you are a self-employed painter and decorator, Trade Assist helps you look professional without the admin burden. Create branded quotes in minutes, track your jobs and expenses, and keep all your customer details in one place. The free decorator calculators help you work out your day rate and job prices before you commit to a subscription, so you can be confident your pricing is right.

Growing decorating businesses

As your decorating business grows, Trade Assist grows with you. The Business plan includes multiple users, staff management, team calendars, job progress tracking with daily updates and photos, snagging lists, material requests and completion reports. You can assign jobs to specific team members and see who is working on what at a glance.

Decorating contractors and limited companies

For larger decorating contractors, Trade Assist provides the tools to manage multiple concurrent jobs, track variations and extra work, generate professional completion reports for clients, and keep a full audit trail of every job. The MTD-ready record export helps your accountant prepare your VAT returns and year-end accounts without chasing you for paperwork.

Specialist decorators and niche services

Trade Assist is flexible enough for specialist decorators too. Whether you focus on exterior painting, interior refurbishments, commercial decorating, wallpapering or colour matching, the quote builder and job management tools adapt to your workflow. The colour vault and paint compatibility checker are particularly valuable for decorators working with multiple paint systems and brands.

Why decorators choose specialist software

Generic trade software treats decorating like any other trade, but decorators have unique needs — paint quantities, colour matching, surface preparation, coating compatibility and room-by-room pricing. Trade Assist is built by decorators who understand these requirements, which means the features fit the way you actually work instead of forcing you to adapt to the software.
