Priced by the square metre, booked without a call.

The square metre says it better

A customer can rarely describe the work in hours, but he can say “a 25 m² living room” and send three photos. From there, a ballpark price is possible without driving out.

Traxo asks for the area, the number of rooms, the state of the walls and whether the place is lived in or empty. The customer gets a bracket, and the quoting visit is only used for the jobs that will actually go ahead.

• A bracket per square metre, set by you
• Photos and areas asked for with the enquiry
• Lived in or empty: the difference that changes everything

Quiet weeks you can see and fill

A decorator's real problem is not the emergency, it is the gap: two free days between two jobs that you only spot on Friday night. Once they have gone, they do not come back.

Your calendar shows those gaps in advance and can open them up to booking for one-day jobs. The AI receptionist takes the enquiries while you are on the roller, and books in whatever fits.

Quote, deposit, then materials

The quote sets out areas, number of coats, preparation and materials. It is signed online, and the deposit lands before you order the paint — you are no longer buying the tins yourself.

On long jobs the payment is split: deposit, mid-job, balance at handover. The chasers go out on their own if a date passes.

• Deposit taken before the materials are ordered
• Payment in instalments on the bigger jobs
• Balance taken by payment link at handover

The work shows: show it

Decorating is one of the few building trades where the before-and-after is dramatic and instantly obvious. Every finished job is proof, as long as it gets photographed and published.

The review request goes out the day after handover, and your finished work feeds the website sorted by type of property: rental flat, house, commercial unit. That is how agents and landlords find you.
