Sound familiar?

Most decorators run the same painful workflow. You already know which parts are broken.

Evenings lost to paperwork
Typing up proposals at 9pm after a full day on the tools. An hour of unpaid admin per job, every single job.
Photos scattered everywhere
WhatsApp, your camera roll, email. Half of them unlabelled. None organised by room. You're scrolling back days to find the right one.
Quoting from memory
Back at the van writing a quote based on what you can remember. Something always gets missed. Sometimes it costs you the job.
Back on site for one missed detail
A return visit to check a measurement or surface condition costs time, fuel, and looks less professional than you are.

How it works

Three steps. One visit.

Walk the job, capture everything, send a professional proposal. All before you leave the property.

01

Walk the job

Open Nobla when you arrive on site. Move through each room with a structured checklist. Never skip a surface, prep requirement or risk.

02

Capture as you go

Take photos, add notes or flag risks directly in the survey. Every detail stays attached to the exact room it belongs to. Nothing gets mixed up.

03

Send your proposal

Generate a proposal, price it room by room, then share a branded PDF or send a secure approval link. Your customer can approve or request changes before you leave site.

Features

Everything a decorator needs on site.

Built specifically for painters and decorators. Not adapted from generic software. Designed around how you actually work.

Room-by-room survey

A structured checklist walks you through every room. Add custom work areas and move through the property without missing a thing.

Photos & detailed notes

Capture photos and observations directly in the survey. Everything stays attached to the room it belongs to. No digging through your camera roll later.

Surfaces & preparation

Select which surfaces are included per room. Log prep requirements and condition notes against each one, as you go.

Professional proposal generation

Turn survey notes into an itemised proposal in one tap. AI assistance helps draft professional copy for each room. You review everything before sending. VAT handled automatically.

Branded PDF export

Every proposal carries your company name, logo and contact details. Share by email or WhatsApp. Professional output that reflects the quality of your work.

Secure client approval links

Send customers a secure approval link so they can approve a proposal or request changes. No printing, no chasing by phone.

Customer & job records

Every customer and their jobs in one place. Track proposal status on your dashboard. No spreadsheets, no hunting through old messages.

Why Nobla exists

"I built this because I was losing hours to quotes. One place to capture the full scope of work, then send the price."

Every decorator spends their evenings typing up what they could remember from the job. Photos scattered everywhere. Notes in margin. Time slipping away. Nobla lets you capture the entire scope once, while you're there, then turn it into a professional proposal instantly. The app does the admin so you can focus on the work.

Questions

Yes, completely free during the beta programme. Pricing will be introduced before public launch. Early beta testers may receive founder rates as a thank you for helping shape the product.
iOS only at the moment, available via Apple TestFlight. Android is planned but not available in the first beta group. Nobla is built to be used on site, in your hand, while you walk the property.
You work through the property room by room. For each room you record which surfaces are included, prep requirements, condition notes, photos and any risks. Everything feeds directly into the proposal with no re-keying required.
Yes. Add your company name, logo and contact details in settings and every proposal will carry your branding. Takes two minutes to set up and makes a real difference to how your quotes land with customers.
Yes. You can send a secure approval link so your customer can review the proposal and approve it or request changes. You see the status on your dashboard. Customers should still read the proposal carefully before approving — the link is a convenience, not a substitute for your own checks.
Survey and customer data is stored using our backend providers and handled carefully. Your data is yours — we do not sell it. Access controls and authentication are used to protect account data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
