Why Clearwork Might Be Exactly What Your Trade Business Needs
Why Clearwork Might Be Exactly What Your Trade Business Needs
If you’re a UK tradesperson, let’s be honest — the work isn’t the part that drains you.
It’s everything around the work.
- Jobs lost in WhatsApp
- Photos buried in your camera roll
- Customers chasing you for updates
- Materials forgotten
- Labour guessed
- Invoices written at 9pm when you’re shattered
You’re good at your trade.
You’re not struggling because of the work.
You’re struggling because your system isn’t built for the real world.
That’s exactly why we built Clearwork.
This post is an honest, no-nonsense breakdown of why Clearwork might be the tool that finally sorts your day out.
The real problem: you’re doing too much admin with the wrong tools
Most trades run their business out of:
- Notes app
- Camera roll
- Paper scraps
- “I’ll remember it later”
That’s when you start seeing:
- forgotten jobs
- lost before/after photos
- undercharging on materials
- late invoices
- time wasted searching for details
- frustrated customers
Clearwork replaces chaos with clarity.
What Clearwork actually gives you (that WhatsApp never will)
Clearwork gives you one clean place for:
- Jobs
- Customers
- Photos
- Materials
- Labour
- Invoices
Instead of everything scattered, everything is connected.
If you can use WhatsApp, you can use Clearwork.
It’s designed for sparkies, plumbers, landscapers, handymen, roofers, and small teams — not office workers in suits.
Is Clearwork right for you?
Here’s how to tell, quickly and honestly.
✔ You get too many job messages
If WhatsApp feels like a warzone, Clearwork keeps every job neat, tidy, and trackable.
✔ You lose photos constantly
Clearwork attaches photos directly to the job — no scrolling through thousands of images.
✔ You forget materials
It happens to every trade.
Clearwork stops it instantly.
✔ You hate writing invoices
One tap → invoice created.
No long nights, no guessing.
✔ You want a clean job history
So next time a customer calls, you’re not trying to remember what you did eight months ago.
✔ You want the business to feel “more professional”
Clearwork makes you look sharp without you even trying.
If any of these hit home, Clearwork is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.
What makes Clearwork different from every other trade app?
No corporate nonsense.
No salespeople.
No bloated features.
Just two lads — me and my co-founder — who got sick of seeing trades lose money and time because their tools weren’t built properly.
So we built something that is:
- simple
- clean
- fast
- reliable
- easy to use
No learning curve.
No frustration.
No overcomplication.
Just a cleaner way to run your day.
The moment most trades realise they need Clearwork
It’s not when things are going well.
It’s when one of these happens:
- A job gets forgotten.
- A customer complains about a missing update.
- A photo needed for proof is lost.
- A job is undercharged by £80 because materials weren’t logged.
- An invoice gets delayed and cashflow suffers.
- The admin pile hits breaking point.
Those moments are the turning point.
Clearwork fixes all of them — permanently.
Try it. Add your first job. See what happens.
You don’t need a tutorial.
You don’t need training.
You don’t even need to commit to anything.
Sign up.
Add your first job.
Attach a photo.
Mark it complete.
Send an invoice.
You’ll know straight away whether Clearwork is right for you.
No pressure.
No hard sell.
Just a cleaner way to do your work.
