Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just use the terms in my quote or proposal without the contract ?

Yes. We encourage this as part of your quoting routine to protect your business and finances.

When working for domestic clients, there’s no review site to check if a customer is genuine. When quoting jobs, you rely on instinct. And sometimes, especially when work slows down, you take the job whether your gut feeling is good or not.

We recommend you attach your terms and conditions with every job so you leave nothing to chance.

Especially when it's time to settle the invoice, the payment terms have already been agreed upfront, meaning no surprises. For firmer protection, you can also use these terms within our full Service Agreement contract template.

Every contract includes a full set of terms and conditions—trade-written to address the common disputes faced in your industry.

Use the full agreement as a standalone service contract, or attach the same terms to quotes, proposals, or invoices as a clear reminder of what the customer has agreed to.

How simple are the documents to use and get started with ?

Our documents are designed to be quick and simple to use.

Just download the file,fill in your business details, and adjust any job-specific sections as needed.

Our tradespeople worked closely with our legal team to remove confusing legal jargon, ensuring you and your customers have a clear, professional agreement.

No complicated setup, no stress. Just a straightforward fill-in-the-blanks template you can use again and again.

Simple, easy to use, by the trade, for the trade.

What is the difference between B2C and B2B in contracts and terms and conditions ?

B2C (Business to Consumer) contracts are designed for domestic clients, such as homeowners.

Our Trades and Legal Team have worked hard to ensure these contracts are easy for customers to understand while clearly establishing key terms, like payment agreements, without sounding intimidating.

B2B (Business to Business) contracts are used when providing services to other businesses. These agreements are more formal, offering tailored protections suited for commercial projects and clearly outlining both parties’ responsibilities.

Remember: B2B means providing services to another business—not an individual customer.

Are the documents suitable for repeat use on different jobs or customers?

Are the documents suitable for repeat use on different jobs or customers?

Yes. Our construction contract templates are designed for repeat use across multiple clients and projects. Just update the details each time and you're ready to go.

The structure stays in place—only the job-specific info changes. You can update fields such as:

  • Customer name & Address
  • Work to be carried out
  • Payment amount and due date

Whether you’re paid on completion, within 7 days, or on 30-day terms

It’s your business, your terms.

<Fill in the blanks> and send. We've done the hard work—so you don’t have to.

Do the documents get updated

Yes, our documents are regularly updated to keep up with industry changes and ensure they remain legally reliable. Staying up to date is crucial, especially if legal action is ever needed against a client.

Our authors, tradespeople with real on-site experience, work closely with solicitors to review industry developments and make necessary improvements.

Every update is made with both you and your customers in mind.

Each document includes unlimited downloads and updates for 18 months.

After this period, you’ll receive an email notifying you that updates and downloads have ended, giving you the choice to continue if needed.

We use 18 months as this gives you real value for money. For instance, a solicitor and trade-written contract for £38.99 works out at just £2.16 a month, which is less than the price of a cup of coffee

We’ll also send you an email with the download links, giving you a backup in case you need to retrieve them later.

How Our Contracts Are Made

Practical, reliable contracts that deliver real-world results and are trusted across the industry.

Trade Consultation

Ensuring every agreement reflects the unique challenges and needs of your industry.

It starts with conversations between experienced tradespeople and solicitors. They discuss common challenges faced on the job, including disputes with customers, payment issues, and project-specific risks.

Turning Challenges into Strong Agreements

The solicitors take these real-world issues and shape them into clear, professional, and fair service agreements. Through careful wording and legal expertise, they create terms that protect businesses, set clear expectations, and reduce disputes.

These agreements ensure both parties understand their responsibilities from the start, making jobs run more smoothly.

Review, Refine, and Perfect

Once the draft is complete, it goes through a detailed review process. Our Tradespeople and solicitors work together to ensure every term is relevant, practical, and easy to understand.

If the legal language is too dense or doesn’t fit the realities of the job, it’s edited until both sides agree it’s just right.
