FREE PRACTICAL TOOL FOR UK TRADES
Job-Site Photo Checklist for UK Trades
Before you leave the job, capture the proof your next customer will want to see. Eight quick photo checks, then a personalised PDF showing what you have, what is missing and what to capture next time.
CHECK THIS JOBNo photography jargon. No call required. Built for real jobs, not a showroom shoot.
A PHOTO IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY PROOF
Give the next customer enough context to understand the work.
A useful project record needs more than a finished shot. It should help a stranger see the starting point, the work, the detail and the result.
Show the whole starting point.
Prove real work happened between before and after.
Show workmanship a wide shot misses.
Leave with a clean hero and vertical final.
Keep four facts with the photos too: the job, broad area, what needed doing and the honest result. Otherwise six months later it becomes “that kitchen somewhere in Essex”.
JOB-SITE PROOF CAPTURE KIT
Did this job give you enough proof for the next customer?
Work through eight quick checks. No photography jargon. Just the shots that help a stranger understand the work.
PHOTO 01 OF 08
The before wide shot
Show the whole area before work starts, so the finished result has context.
PHOTO 02 OF 08
The problem close-up
Capture the detail that shows what actually needed fixing, replacing or improving.
PHOTO 03 OF 08
Work in progress
One honest progress image proves there was real work between before and after.
PHOTO 04 OF 08
Craft or detail shot
Show the workmanship a customer would miss in a distant finished photo.
PHOTO 05 OF 08
Scale or context
A wider view helps a stranger understand the size and setting of the job.
PHOTO 06 OF 08
Finished hero shot
This is the clean final image that leads the post, case study or website proof.
PHOTO 07 OF 08
Finished detail
A second final image lets you prove quality rather than relying on one angle.
PHOTO 08 OF 08
Vertical final
A vertical image gives you usable material for Stories, Reels covers and mobile-first posts.
ONE LAST THING
What usually happens to your job photos?
This tells me whether the problem is capturing proof or actually using it.
YOUR PERSONALISED PROOF PLAN
Where should I send the PDF?
I will show what you captured, what to get next time and the four project details worth saving with the photos.
If the proof is thin
Use the personalised missing-shot list on the next job. Do not try to rescue every old project with random camera-roll photos.
If the proof is strong
The next question is whether the material actually gets used. Real project proof sitting on a phone is still invisible to the next customer.
Capture the proof once. Use it more than once.
A single genuine project can support a finished-job post, before-and-after, Reel, useful FAQ, service/location proof and review follow-up. The tool above shows what you need to leave site with first.
The result will only suggest paid SGS help when the answers show a real gap. If the system is working, keep using it.
