Invoicing software for tradespeople in Glasgow

Built for how Glasgow trades actually work

Shared closes and communal repairs in Glasgow can involve property factors and several owners. Clear quotes help record the scope and agreed billing arrangements.

Telaro is a UK-first invoicing app: prices in pounds, VAT the way HMRC expects it, CIS deductions calculated for you, and documents that look like they came from an established firm rather than a phone note.

Common Glasgow jobs it suits

• Tenement repairs — quote it with itemised labour and materials, convert the accepted quote straight into an invoice without retyping a line.
• Gas safety checks — quote it with itemised labour and materials, convert the accepted quote straight into an invoice without retyping a line.
• Communal stair works — quote it with itemised labour and materials, convert the accepted quote straight into an invoice without retyping a line.

Getting paid on Glasgow jobs

For shared-building repairs, confirm who instructs the work and which party is contracted to pay. Include the building address, instruction reference and a clear description of the communal work.

Worth doing: Separate the different repair tasks so a factor or owner can explain what each charge covers.

Questions Glasgow trades ask

Do I need to be VAT registered?

No. Telaro works whether you're VAT registered or not — turn VAT off and your documents simply won't show it. If you register later, switch it on and your rate carries across every new document. See the VAT invoice guide for what a VAT invoice needs to show.

Working under CIS?

If you're subcontracting in Glasgow for a contractor, the contractor works out the CIS deduction from the payment excluding VAT and allowable actual costs, such as eligible materials and plant hire paid for directly by the subcontractor. Telaro can show the gross, the deduction and the net payable clearly on the invoice. The CIS deductions guide walks through the maths, and GOV.UK sets out the contractor's rules.
