Plumbing and heating jobs, first fix to final invoice.

// Sound familiar?
You're great at plumbing. The paperwork is another job.
The work is on site and in the vans. The admin ends up on the kitchen table at 9pm. These are the problems plumbing and heating firms tell us about most.
Ringing round to find out where you are
Which plots are first-fixed? Which are waiting for second fix? Which boilers are in but not commissioned? You only know once you've rung the lads.
Work done, never claimed
Jobs get finished but never make it onto an application, and variations agreed on site are lost in a WhatsApp thread by the time you invoice.
CIS and retention on a spreadsheet
Deductions, verification status, retention held and retention due - tracked by hand, and wrong just often enough to hurt.
Tickets that quietly expire
Gas Safe registration, unvented (G3) certificates, CSCS cards and insurance - nobody notices until a main contractor turns someone away at the gate.
No proof when it's queried
A leak months later and the main contractor wants to know if it was pressure tested. Without a signed-off record and photos, it's your word against theirs.
Hours, vans and receipts
Timesheets on paper, merchant receipts in the footwell and mileage guessed at the end of the month.
// How DuoApp helps
Built around how plumbing and heating firms work.
Everything below is included in the same £10 per user, whether you're two vans or fifty engineers.
Every job, plot and stage in one view
Break each job down into first fix, second fix, commissioning and anything else you price for. Assign the work, track progress plot by plot, and complete dozens of tasks at once when a block is done. Annual services and planned maintenance can repeat on their own.
Checklists for each stage, from first fix to commissioning, with photos and signatures attached. If something is queried later, you can show exactly what was checked, by whom and when.
Store Gas Safe registrations, G3 and other qualifications, CSCS cards and insurance against each engineer. DuoApp warns you before anything expires, and can block work for anyone whose documents aren't current.
Gas Building Regulations certificates, CP12 landlord gas safety records, Benchmark and G3 unvented checks from ready-made templates. Only Gas Safe registered engineers with in-date records can sign, the customer signs on your phone, and the branded PDF goes straight to them.
From the diary, WhatsApp and the van dashboard to one app.
Most plumbing and heating firms we speak to run the business on paper job sheets, group chats and a spreadsheet for CIS. Here's what changes.

£10per user / month + VAT
Every feature included - no tiers
Engineers, office staff and subbies at the same rate
Yes. You pay £10 per user, per month, so a team of four costs £40 a month with every feature included. You can add and remove people as your team changes and you're billed pro-rata.
Does DuoApp handle CIS for plumbing subcontractors?
Yes. CIS deductions, verification status, retention and split payments are built into invoicing as standard, not bolted on.
Can DuoApp produce gas safety certificates (CP12)?
Yes. Compliance & Certificates includes ready-made templates for the Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12), the Gas Building Regulations Compliance Certificate, Benchmark and G3 unvented hot water. Only Gas Safe registered engineers with in-date records can sign, CP12s renew every year with reminders, and the finished document locks into a branded PDF. If you'd rather keep your existing certificate software, record the certificate in DuoApp with the PDF uploaded.
Does it work for new-build and service work?
Yes. New-build work is organised by development, plot and stage. Service and planned maintenance work can be set up as recurring tasks that repeat weekly, monthly, yearly or at any interval.
Does it connect to my accounts software?
Yes. The optional Accountancy Integration add-on (£10 per month plus VAT) sends approved invoices to Xero as bills, with VAT, CIS and retention on separate lines. QuickBooks Online and Sage are coming soon.
How much does it cost and is there a free trial?
£10 per user, per month plus VAT, with every feature included. There's a 14-day free trial of the full platform, and you can cancel any time from the billing screen.
// Other industries
DuoApp works for other trades too.
The same platform runs teams across construction and the trades.
