An £18,500 loft extension, broken into stage payments
You've won a loft extension job — £18,500 inclusive of materials, labour, and Building Control. The customer wants to pay in stages: 20% deposit on signature, 25% at first fix, 25% at second fix, 20% on completion, 10% retention released after 30 days. Message Wedge: "Quote Tom Williams £18,500 for loft extension at 22 Beech Close, broken into 20% deposit, 25% first fix, 25% second fix, 20% completion, 10% retention." Wedge generates the quote with the schedule clearly laid out. Tom signs digitally and pays the £3,700 deposit immediately — £3,663 lands in your account. As you hit each stage, you message Wedge to send the next invoice. The retention sits in customer's account; you message Wedge to invoice for it after 30 days. Total Wedge fees on the £18,500 job: £185. No subscription you have to pay even on a slow month.

Frequently asked questions
Can I send staged-payment invoices linked to a single quote?+
Yes. Send Wedge the schedule once ("20% deposit, 30% first fix, 50% completion"), and we'll generate each stage invoice when you tell us the stage is done. The customer sees the schedule on the original quote so there are no surprises.
What about CIS deductions when I subcontract for main contractors?+
If you subcontract under CIS, mention it when invoicing ("CIS deduction at 20%") and Wedge will show the gross amount, the 20% CIS deduction, and the net amount payable. The contractor pays you the net; HMRC paperwork stays your responsibility.
How do retentions work — can I invoice the held-back amount later?+
Yes. When you set up staged payments, include the retention as the last stage (e.g. "10% retention released after 30 days"). Customer pays everything else upfront; you message Wedge to send the retention invoice when the period ends.
Can I invoice for materials separately from labour?+
Yes — useful when customers want to see exactly what they're paying for. Tell Wedge "£4,500 materials, £6,000 labour" and the invoice breaks them out as line items. You can also add reverse-charge VAT if applicable.
Do I need to add VAT on residential domestic projects?+
If you're VAT-registered, yes — standard 20% VAT on most domestic work. Wedge calculates and shows VAT automatically. For specific reduced-rate work (renovations of empty homes, conversions), you can override to 5% per line item.
How do I handle change orders during a build?+
When a customer asks for an addition ("actually, can you add a roof window?"), message Wedge to send a separate change-order invoice. Customer agrees and pays in WhatsApp — no awkward conversations about scope creep.
