Running a painting and decorating business involves much more than completing great work.

There are customer details to manage, rooms to measure, materials to calculate, quotes to prepare, invoices to send and payments to track. For many decorators, this means evenings spent dealing with paperwork after a full day on the tools.

That is why we created Topdec Trade Assist.

What is Topdec Trade Assist?

Topdec Trade Assist is quoting, invoicing and job management software created specifically for UK painters and decorators.

Unlike general business software, Trade Assist has been developed around the way decorators actually work. It helps you manage your customers, calculate jobs, prepare professional quotes and keep everything connected in one simple system.

Whether you work alone or manage a decorating team, Trade Assist can help you reduce paperwork and stay organised.

Create professional decorating quotes

A clear and detailed quote can help customers understand exactly what they are paying for.

Trade Assist allows you to build professional quotes using individual rooms, surfaces, labour and materials. You can create a detailed breakdown of the work rather than sending a basic price through a text message.

Once your quote is ready, it can be sent directly to the customer—helping your business look more professional and making quotes easier to understand.

Calculate materials more accurately

Working out how much paint and material a job requires can take time, particularly when you are quoting several rooms or different surfaces.

Trade Assist helps you record room measurements, paint requirements, preparation work and other job details in one place. This can reduce guesswork and help you produce more accurate decorating quotes.

Turn accepted quotes into invoices

When the work is complete, you should not need to enter everything again.

Trade Assist allows you to manage the journey from quote to job and invoice without

repeatedly typing the same information. This saves time and helps keep customer and payment records organised.

Manage customers and jobs

Keep customer information, quotes, invoices and job details together instead of searching through notebooks, spreadsheets, emails and WhatsApp messages.

Depending on your chosen plan, Trade Assist can also help you monitor job progress and manage work across your team.

Built with real decorators in mind

Topdec has worked with professional painters and decorators for years. We understand the challenges decorators face because we speak to the trade every day.

Trade Assist has been built from that experience and will continue to improve through feedback from the decorators using it.

This is not software designed for every possible industry. It is a practical business tool focused on painting and decorating.

Trade Assist includes a free option, making it easy to create an account and explore the system before deciding whether one of the additional plans is right for your business.
