How it works

From voice to quote in three steps

No training, no setup, no spreadsheets. Works on your iPhone or Android on site.

mic
Step 1

Speak or type the job

Hold the mic and describe the job in your own words — just like you'd explain it to a customer. "Install a new consumer unit, 18-way, with RCBOs throughout" is all it needs.

tune
Step 2

Answer a few quick questions

Zipflow asks trade-specific questions to nail the details — cable routing method, board location, number of circuits, testing included. Tap your answers in seconds.

Step 3

Send the quote instantly

A fully itemised quote is generated with materials, labour and total. Send it directly to the customer via email or WhatsApp before you've even left the property.

Why UK plumbers are switching to AI quoting

The average UK plumber spends over an hour every week writing up quotes. That's unpaid time at home, working out parts costs and labour rates for jobs you visited earlier. For sole traders handling multiple callouts a day, this admin overhead adds up to a full day every month.

Speed wins jobs. A customer who receives a professional quote within 30 minutes of your visit is significantly more likely to accept it than one who waits until the next morning. Zipflow lets you quote before you leave the driveway.

Zipflow understands the language of plumbing. It knows the difference between a full bathroom suite installation and a shower-only fit, it understands boiler types and fuel sources, and it knows when to ask about access, lagging, and disposal.

Plumbing jobs Zipflow handles automatically

Zipflow detects over 200 specific plumbing task types and generates accurate itemised quotes for all of them. Common jobs include:

Boiler installation Boiler service Boiler repair Bathroom suite installation Shower installation Radiator installation Consumer unit plumbing Leaking pipe repair Unvented cylinder Hot water cylinder Underfloor heating EV charger supply (wet) Outside tap Blocked drain Water softener Pressure gauge Flexible hose replacement Ball valve replacement TRV replacement Bathroom tiling Wet room installation Macerator install Rainwater harvesting Leak detection

Built for sole trader plumbers and small contractors

Zipflow is built for the plumber who works alone or with one other person, handles five to twenty jobs per week, and needs to quote quickly and accurately on site. There's no complicated software to learn — you sign up, add your day rate, and you're ready to quote within minutes.

Zipflow keeps a full record of every quote, tracks which have been accepted, and lets you follow up on outstanding ones. When a customer says yes, generate an invoice in one tap. Your accountant gets a complete CSV export — invoices, VAT, revenue — all ready for Xero or HMRC.

At £12.99 per month that's less than the margin on a standard tap replacement. The 30-day free trial means you can generate real quotes for real customers and prove the value before spending a penny.

Pricing and what you get

Zipflow costs £12.99 per month or £99 per year. There is a full 30-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can generate real quotes for real customers before committing to anything.

The trial includes full access to every feature — voice input, AI quote generation, customer sending, job tracking, scheduling and invoice generation. Nothing is locked behind a higher tier.
