Customer wants to replace a kitchen window with bifold doors. Can you help me quote it?
I can help with that. Could you upload a few photos? I'll need the current window (inside and out) and the wall area so I can assess the opening size and any structural work needed.
Here you go — 3 photos of the window:
I can see the existing opening is roughly 1.8m wide. You'll need to widen it to around 2.4m for standard bifolds. Here's the plan:
- 1. Remove existing window & frame
- 2. Install support beam (LVL) for wider opening
- 3. Cut & form new opening to 2.4m
- 4. Fit bifold door frame & panels
- 5. Make good internally & externally
Est. 3–4 days · Structural work required
Perfect. Quote it up for me.
Quote ready. I've factored in the structural steel, building code notification, and current material prices.

Common questions about Sleepless Tradesman
What is Sleepless Tradesman?
Sleepless Tradesman is your whole office team in one app for trade businesses. It does the seven office jobs a bigger firm pays people for: admin and customer messages, remote quotes, an accountant, an insights analyst, a cheapest-price finder, a legislation and compliance advisor and a marketer. You describe a job or send a photo, the app writes the quote, and you tell it what to change. It replaces the Word templates, spreadsheets and paper invoices most tradespeople use today.
Is it free to use?
Yes. You can sign up free and make your first invoice at no cost. Your Making Tax Digital records (expenses, cash and CIS income, mileage and quarterly figures) are free too. Paid plans start at £29.99 a month and add AI receipt scanning and job profit. The free tools (day rate, tax and cost calculators) need no account at all.
How does the AI quoting feature work?
Type a job description or upload a photo of the work area. The AI breaks the job into labour hours, materials, and a total price based on current UK trade rates for your specific trade. You review and adjust the figures, then send a branded PDF quote directly to your customer from the app. You check the figures before anything is sent; prices the app looks up are labelled estimates.
Which trades does it support?
Sleepless Tradesman works for every trade, including electricians, plumbers, builders, gas engineers, roofers, carpenters, painters and decorators, tilers, plasterers, landscapers, HVAC engineers, and more. The AI is trained on UK-specific trade rates, regulations, and certifications for each trade, so the quotes and compliance checks are relevant to your work.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. There is an iPhone app on the App Store, the web app works on any phone, and the Android app is on Google Play.
How is this different from Checkatrade or Bark?
Checkatrade and Bark are lead generation platforms: you pay to be found. Sleepless Tradesman is the app that runs your office once you have the work: quotes, invoices, job management and your books. Many tradespeople use both, and your free listing on Sleepless Tradesman sends you homeowner requests at no charge.
Does it do Making Tax Digital?
The app prepares your quarterly figures in the format HMRC's Making Tax Digital quarterly updates use, ready to export for you or your accountant to submit. Filing from the app is built and tested in HMRC's sandbox but is not yet available: HMRC closed production access for new 2026-27 products on 15 September 2026.
Who is behind Sleepless Tradesman?
Sleepless Tradesman is made by Sleepless Tradesman Ltd, a UK company (no. 17538029), with advisers who work in the trades. We never sell your data.
Does the AI ever make prices or rules up?
It is not allowed to. When the app is not sure of a price or a regulation it says so, and every looked-up price is labelled an estimate until you confirm it. You approve every quote before it goes out.
Do you have an affiliate program?
Yes. Creators, accountants, merchants and anyone tradespeople listen to earn 30% of each referred customer's payments for 12 months, then 20% for life (30% on everything at Gold). Free to join. See the affiliate program
