Tech Services/Trade packs

The right tools for your business, set up properly, in two weeks.

Three productised packs covering the highest-leverage parts of running a small business: office admin, compliance, and quoting. I pick the right AI tools for your business and size, set them up, integrate them, and hand the whole lot over. You pay one setup fee. Tools you subscribe to directly, at their normal prices.

The three packs

Pick the one that's hurting most. Add the others later.

Each pack is a small bundle of tools I know work for small businesses: picked, set up, integrated with your existing systems, and explained in plain English. You get a one-page brief before any work starts.

Launching Q3 2026 · Waitlist open

Trade Compliance Pack

£300 expected at launch

For tradespeople doing site-based work who need RAMS, regs lookups, and a safety paper trail. I'm building the regs-lookup AI before opening sign-ups.

  • AI risk-assessment & method-statement generator: CDM-compliant RAMS in 2 minutes
  • Trade-specific regs lookup (BS 7671, water regs, gas regs, Part G) with cited answers in build
  • Boiler fault diagnosis AI for gas engineers in build
  • Compliance reminder automation: CP12s, certificate expiries, renewals
  • Templates pre-loaded with your company details and trade defaults

Why the wait: I don't sell features I haven't built. Waitlist customers get first launch slots at a 20% launch discount.

For quote-heavy businesses

Quotes & Estimating Pack

£250 one-off setup

For business owners who spend evenings writing quotes that should take minutes.

  • Voice-to-quote setup: record a voice note on the go, get a professional quote in the customer's inbox
  • For builders: AI takeoff from drawings. Upload a floor plan, get a materials list and estimate
  • Quote follow-up automation: automatic friendly nudges at day 3 and day 7
  • Connected to your job tracker so accepted quotes become jobs automatically

Ongoing: tool subscriptions paid directly to providers, typically £20-50/month combined depending on volume.

Optional, after setup

£49/month. I stay on as your AI-stack concierge.

The 30-day support window included with every pack is free. After that, an optional flat-rate retainer keeps me on the line for ongoing tweaks, tool issue triage, and monthly tune-ups. Cancel any month, no lock-in.

£49/mo · Managed Service
  • Email response within 2 working days for any tool issue or question
  • Monthly health check on your automations — I tune what's drifting
  • One small tweak or addition per month (within 30 minutes of work)
  • Priority routing if a tool provider drops support or changes terms
  • Quarterly review call — what's working, what isn't, what to add next

No lock-in. Cancel any month.
Your tools stay yours regardless.

How packs work

One setup fee. Tools you own outright.

No SaaS markup, no reseller margin tax, no proprietary lock-in. You pay me once to do the setup work and you pay the tool providers their normal price for the software. If you ever leave, you take the whole stack with you.

Week 0 · free

30-minute discovery call

Tell me your trade, how you work, and where the time goes. I tell you which pack fits (or if no pack fits and you should look at my automation service instead).

Week 0

One-page setup brief

Within two working days, you get a one-pager: exact tools I'm recommending for your business, why those over the alternatives, what they'll cost ongoing, what I'll integrate them with.

Week 1

I set everything up

Accounts created in your name, properly configured for your trade, integrated with your existing job tracker, branded with your company details. You don't touch a settings menu.

Week 2 + 30 days

Training + 30-day check-in

30-minute walkthrough so you and any staff know how to use it. I'm on email for 30 days for any questions, tweaks, or things that didn't quite click.

Which pack fits your business

Built for any small business — with real depth for trades.

A guide, not a rule. Many businesses end up doing two packs over a few months — most start with whichever one wakes them up in the night.

Retail & hospitality

Usually start with Office Pack — the WhatsApp booking/enquiry automation and review-chasing does most of the heavy lifting for customer-facing businesses.

Professional services & consultants

Usually start with Quotes & Estimating — turning a voice note into a proposal in someone's inbox saves the most time for quote-heavy service businesses.

Sole traders & new starters, any industry

The Office Pack alone covers most of what causes evening admin. Add the others once the business has the headroom.

Electricians

Usually start with Quotes & Estimating (loads of small jobs, lots of quoting). Compliance Pack adds wiring-regs lookup. EV-charger installers also get fast-track access to installer networks.

Plumbing & gas

Usually start with Office Pack (reactive jobs = lots of customer comms). Compliance Pack adds CP12 workflow, water regs lookup, and boiler fault diagnosis support.

Heating & ventilation

Usually start with Quotes & Estimating for heat-load reports (heat pump market is hot). Compliance Pack covers MCS report workflows.

General builders

Usually start with Compliance Pack (RAMS for every site visit). Quotes Pack adds AI takeoff from drawings, a serious time-saver on jobs over £20k.

Multi-trade firms

Usually start with Office Pack (the universal pain) and pick the second pack based on the dominant trade in the firm.

Not sure where you fit?

Send me a note about what's eating your time — I'll tell you honestly which pack fits, or if none of them do.

Quick fit check

Who Trade Packs are for. Who they aren't.

The packs are deliberately standard; that's what keeps the setup fee low. They fit most small businesses doing quotes, admin, or site work — trade or otherwise — but not every business.

This is for you if
  • You run a small business and you've heard "you should be using AI" but don't know where to start
  • You'd rather pay someone once than spend ten evenings comparing SaaS pricing pages
  • You're comfortable using a phone app — you don't need to be technical
  • You want clean separation: I set up, you own the accounts, no reseller markup
  • You're doing enough volume that a £20-65/month tool stack will pay for itself
This isn't for you if
  • Your workflow is genuinely unusual — look at bespoke automation instead
  • You want one system to replace everything — that's a custom build conversation
  • You're not doing site or office admin at all yet

The Compliance Pack specifically is built for UK trades (RAMS, gas/water/electrical regs). Office Pack and Quotes & Estimating work for any small business — trade or not.

Want to know which pack fits?

Send a paragraph about your trade and the job you most want off your plate. I'll come back within one working day with honest thoughts and (if it makes sense) a discovery call slot.
