Built for sole-trader carpenters running first fix, second fix, kitchens, and bespoke joinery. Track every job, log timber and ironmongery, send pro quotes, file HMRC MTD.
Graft was built specifically because none of the existing tools fit how a carpenter actually works.
Quoted 4 days, took 6. Why? You don't really know – time wasn't logged.
Last quote used £4/m. This week it's £4.80. You quoted from memory. Margin compressed.
8 trips to Howdens. 4 to the timber yard. Receipts in the van, in the toolbox, on the kitchen worktop.
If you're earning over £50k self-employed, quarterly tax submissions become legal.
Designed for one person on a phone, on a job, with dirty hands. Not for an accountant in an office.
First fix, second fix, snagging – split a kitchen into phases. Time and materials logged per phase.
Update unit costs once. Quotes recalculate. No more under-quoting on yesterday's price.
Howdens, Travis, B&Q – Graft reads the slip and links it to the right job.
Direct HMRC submission. Quarterly figures auto-prepped. One tap, done.
Power tools, timber, a workshop and a van — a chippy's outgoings are all allowable expenses. Graft records them on the job so your Making Tax Digital quarterly return builds itself.
Circular and track saws, routers, planers, nail guns and drills.
Chisels, planes, squares, clamps and marking tools.
Timber, sheet goods, ironmongery, fixings and adhesives.
Workshop rent or running costs, van finance, fuel and insurance.
Blades, bits, glue, sandpaper and finishing products.
Public liability, tools cover, dust masks, boots and ear defenders.
Sole trader carpenters earning over £50,000 must file quarterly digital updates from April 2026. Graft logs materials and job costs and submits the return for you.
Power and hand tools, timber and materials, workshop and van costs, consumables and insurance. Graft attaches receipts to the right job as you go.
Yes. First and second-fix site carpentry is within CIS, so Graft records any tax deducted at source for your quarterly figures.
