An unexpected step, a hidden wall, a rotted frame — it happens all the time. That’s why I ask for photos before confirming any booking now.

What's Your Time Worth?

What’s Your Time Worth?

Let’s be honest. If you’re a tradesperson running your own business, you’re probably doing it all — estimating, booking, chasing invoices, answering emails, sorting paperwork, and oh yeah… actually doing the job too.

But here’s the thing:

Admin isn’t free – even when you do it yourself.

Let’s Do the Maths

Say you spend 10 hours a week doing admin: replying to messages, organising your diary, chasing payments, sending quotes. You might not be paying anyone to do it, but you’re paying with your time.

Now imagine you charge £50/hour on the tools (and many of you are charging more than that). That’s £500 a week in potential income – gone.

Over a year? That’s £25,000+ in missed earnings.

And for what? Emailing someone who forgot to pay you on time?

This Is Why We Built BlueWood Office

We help tradespeople like you get their time back – not so you can lie on the sofa, but so you can do the work that actually earns money.

  • 🛠️ You do the work
  • 📅 We handle bookings, quotes, messages, and paperwork
  • 💻 We set up your digital systems so things run smoother
  • 📈 You stay focused on the high-value stuff that grows the business

And we don’t just give you a VA (Virtual Assistant) — you get a whole team. ICT, admin, marketing, and bookkeeping, all working together, already trained, and already getting things done for other trades like you.

What’s the Cost?

Our Digital Starter Package starts at £499 — to get your systems set up and your business sorted. After that, it’s just a few hours a week, depending on what you need.

Compare that to the £500 you lose every week doing it all yourself.

This isn’t a cost. It’s a tool. A way to earn more and stress less.

Still Not Sure?

Ask yourself:

  • ⚡ What’s the value of a clear inbox and organised bookings?
  • 📲 How many more jobs could you fit in if someone else was chasing quotes and messages?
  • 💰 How much could you earn if you stopped “doing admin” and started running a business?
