How Pocketa works

Four steps to run the renovation and save with partners

Tell Pocketa where you stand, manage getting the kitchen in, claim partner discounts when you buy, and track costs and next steps. Try each step in a free project as you go.

Free for UK homeowners. No credit card required.

One homeowner-controlled record

Scattered notes become a renovation line, then saved products, spending and one organised folder. You can still join midway and mark what is already settled.

Follow one project

See information move through the renovation

Rather than four separate diagrams, one trail shows how a single record carries context forward: from room notes to an organised project folder. Scroll the stages below to light each part of the same composition.

One continuous record

Information moves through the renovation

A room note enters the project frame, becomes a checklist line, gathers products and quotes, then leaves a spending record, finishing as one organised folder. Scroll the stages below to light each part of the same composition.

    Active

The main product idea stays visible: one record carries information forward. Adapt the stages to your project and agree the live sequence with your fitter.

Stage pause

This is a useful flow, not a requirement to start at the beginning. Bring an active renovation in midway and mark what is already settled.

Data and control

How each stage puts you in control

Follow the four stages below. After each one, open a free workspace and try the step with your own kitchen.

Setup

01Tell Pocketa where your project stands

  1. What you do

    Answer a few practical questions about your kitchen, scope and progress so the workspace opens with the right emphasis.

  2. What carries forward

    Setup answers shape your starter checklist. Detailed estimator answers can carry into project setup when you are ready.

  3. Stay aligned with

    Use the setup answers to steer decisions. Confirm drawings, quotes and structural scope with your designer, supplier or qualified trades.

Manage your renovation

02Manage the kitchen until it is in

  1. What you do

    Start with suggested tasks, then add, hide, rename and reorder them as products, deliveries and site questions change. This is the checklist for getting the kitchen in.

  2. What carries forward

    Later setup changes can propose additions and reordering while settled lines and manual items stay preserved.

  3. Stay aligned with

    Brief your fitter from the same list. Confirm structural, gas, electrical and installation steps on site.

Saved products and Current offers

03Save products and claim partner discounts

  1. What you do

    Keep Pocketa partner products, live partner discounts, external links and products already bought in the same project beside the renovation decisions they affect.

  2. What carries forward

    Links, prices, delivery notes, statuses and Claim deal offers stay connected to Manage your renovation lines so shortlists and savings do not scatter across the sidebar.

  3. Stay aligned with

    Payment stays with the retailer or supplier. Confirm live offer terms before you buy. You remain free to compare and buy anywhere.

Spending

04Track costs and what happens next

  1. What you do

    Separate planned amounts, quotes and confirmed purchases while keeping open questions visible.

  2. What carries forward

    Separate totals make it clearer what has actually been spent versus what is still planned.

  3. Stay aligned with

    Review allowances against live quotes and invoices as the project develops.

Working with professionals

Pocketa keeps your plans, products, costs, partner savings and project records organised. Technical, safety and installation decisions should still be confirmed with the relevant supplier, fitter or qualified professional. Confirm live offer terms with the retailer before you buy.

Begin with your project frame

Create your secure account and continue into the short project setup, or start with a free kitchen cost range and carry reviewed answers forward when you are ready.
