Electricians: scheduling small jobs with online booking

Replacing a socket, fitting a light, adding an outdoor point: small jobs are worth doing, but each one costs a phone call to arrange. With Book, clients book small jobs on your own booking page in windows you choose, so you can group them by area and fill the gaps around bigger work.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Windows and prices are examples: set your own. Say in each description what's included and what needs a separate visit.

A half-day window with three places fits three short jobs on one round. Each online booking takes one place, and when the window is full it leaves your page. Tell clients in the description that the window is an arrival window. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

Create one window service per area and day, so jobs booked the same morning sit close together.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the address, the job, and whether materials are already bought. Ask for photos of the board or fitting by email so you bring the right parts.

If a small job turns into a rewire or a new circuit, book the work yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so call them if your round runs late. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't plan routes, issue invoices, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with several electricians, create services per electrician. See the guide on working in occupied homes. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
