Made for the trade

Built for aerial installers.

Trained on the way NZ aerial and satellite installers actually write up a job — not generic invoicing software.

UHF, Freeview satellite, Sky dish reuse — our AI reads your shorthand the way you write it on the job and builds a clean, itemised invoice.

Voice notes from the roof

Signal sorted and job done up top? Speak your installation notes before you climb down — client, aerial or dish type, cable run, hours. Invoice ready by the time you're back at the van.

The full range

Every aerial & satellite job, sorted.

From a straight UHF swap on a standalone house to signal work in a block of flats, TradieNotes keeps up with the range of jobs NZ aerial and satellite installers actually run. Note the job type in your voice memo or scribble and it appears correctly on the invoice — no manual re-typing needed.

Apartments & MDUs

Many apartment blocks and multi-dwelling units share one dish or master antenna (MATV/SMATV) feeding every unit through a wall socket. Note MATV fault-finding or new-connection work separately from standalone house installs, and it's itemised as a communal job on the invoice.

Weak-signal amplifier jobs

Fringe reception areas often need a signal amplifier alongside the aerial or dish — typically another $100-150 on top of the base install. Log it as its own materials line so it's clear on the invoice what the extra cost covers.

Extension aerials

Sleepouts, granny flats, and sheds often need a second aerial point run off the existing system. Itemise the extra cable run and labour separately so the client can see exactly what the extension cost, on top of the main install.

Working at height

Aerial and satellite work is roof work, and roof work falls under WorkSafe's working-at-height guidance — installers have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act to manage fall risk, whether that's edge protection, a harness system, or another control. None of that shows up on an invoice, but a job note like "harness/EWP used" keeps a record if a client or insurer ever asks.

Aerial & Satellite FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can it handle both UHF aerial and satellite dish jobs?
Yes. Freeview reaches about 86% of New Zealand by UHF terrestrial aerial, with satellite covering the remaining fringe areas. Note which one you installed in your job notes and it appears correctly on the invoice.
What does a typical aerial or satellite job cost?
Most standalone UHF aerial installs run roughly $265-$450 including GST depending on roof access and cabling, and satellite dish installs are similar. A signal amplifier for a weak-reception area typically adds another $100-150. TradieNotes doesn't set your prices — your invoice reflects whatever you actually charged.
Can it handle apartment or multi-dwelling unit (MDU) jobs?
Yes. Many apartment buildings run a shared MATV or SMATV system feeding every unit from one master dish or antenna. Note it as an MDU or communal job in your job notes and it's itemised accordingly, separate from a standalone house install.
Can I invoice for reusing an old Sky dish for Freeview?
Yes. A lot of jobs are re-pointing or reusing an existing Sky dish with an LNB swap rather than a full new install — note the LNB replacement and labour separately in your job notes and both appear as itemised lines.
Does it handle different dish sizes?
Yes. Most of mainland NZ uses a 60cm satellite dish, while fringe reception areas like the Far North, top of the East Cape, and bottom of Southland need a 75cm dish. Note the size in your job notes and it'll show up as a materials line.
What about working-at-height compliance?
TradieNotes doesn't manage your health and safety paperwork, but you can note things like harness or EWP use in your job notes for your own records. Any roof job falls under WorkSafe's working-at-height guidance, and installers have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act to manage fall risk.
Can I invoice for callback or warranty jobs?
Yes — mark it as a callback in your job notes and it'll show $0 or a reduced rate as appropriate, so your records stay accurate even when there's no charge.
Are the invoices GST and IRD compliant?
Yes — every invoice includes your GST number, business name, itemised labour and materials, and meets NZ IRD requirements.
Do I need an account?
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay $1.
