For UK Roofers

Tiles, slates, scaffolds – tax sorted.

Built for roofers running weather-dependent days, tile orders, scaffold hires, and a phone that won't stop ringing. Job tracking, materials, photos, MTD – all in one place.

If you're a sole trader roofer,
some of this sounds familiar.

Graft was built specifically because none of the existing tools fit how a roofer actually works.

Weather wrecks the schedule

Rained off Tuesday. Customer wants new ETA. You re-shuffle three jobs and forget to invoice the one that finished Monday.

×

Scaffold hire bleeds the margin

£140/week scaffold. Job ran 2 weeks longer than quoted. Margin disappeared. You'd know – if anything was tracked.

×

Photos for insurance + customer + records

Before, during, after. Plus close-ups of damage. All on your phone, none labelled, none tied to the job.

×

MTD makes spreadsheets illegal

From April 2026, quarterly tax filings via recognised software only. Most roofers aren't ready.

What changes when you switch to Graft.

Roofers & Making Tax Digital.

Do roofers need MTD software?

Sole trader roofers earning over £50,000 must file quarterly digital updates from April 2026. Graft logs your materials and access costs on site and files the return.

What can a roofer claim as expenses?

Scaffold and access hire, safety equipment, tools, tiles and materials, van and fuel, and specialist working-at-height insurance. Graft ties each cost to the job.

Does Graft support CIS for roofers?

Yes. Roofing is a CIS operation, so Graft records the tax deducted at source and keeps your quarterly income figures accurate.
