Mucka is built for one kind of business at a time, and right now that's heating, plumbing and air conditioning.
That's a deliberate choice. The gas certificates, the boiler service reminders, the job types, the wording on the quotes: all of it is shaped round how a heating and plumbing firm actually works. Spreading thinner would make it worse for everybody, so for the moment we've stayed put.
The trades we're open to
Heating & plumbing
- Gas Engineer
- Heating Engineer
- Boiler Installer
- Plumber
- Bathroom Fitter
- Wet Room Specialist

If you do more than one of these, tick them all. The first one you pick is your main trade — that's the one Mucka calls your business — and the rest sit on the list underneath it. You can change the lot later in Settings → Business → Details, or just tell Mucka.
Where you pick it
You choose your trades on the second step of signing up, straight after your name, email and number. Pick one from the dropdown and it drops into a list above it; pick another and it joins it. The two groups above sit at the top of the dropdown.
The first one you pick is your main trade. If you pick them in the wrong order, Make main on any of the others swaps it, and the ✕ takes one off again.
Your job types, quote templates and invoice templates are set up from every trade you picked, before you've even logged in — so a gas engineer who also does bathrooms starts with both, and the first quote you write already has your work on it.
Your quotes, invoices and the rest of the basics are switched on for you at the same time, so there's nothing to go and install before you can get started.
If your trade isn't on the list yet
You'll see a coming soon screen instead of an account, and we'll put your name, email and phone on the waiting list for your trade.
That's not a polite brush-off. It's the list we work from when we decide which trade to open up to next, so the trades with the most people waiting are the ones that get built for first. The day we open up to yours, we'll email you.
Nothing else to do, and there's nothing to pay — no account is created, so there's no trial ticking down while you wait, and you're never asked to set a password for one.
As long as one of the trades you picked is on the list above, you're in — a heating firm that also ticks Electrician is still a heating firm, and we won't turn you away for the sideline.
Picked the wrong trade by mistake? There's a Picked the wrong trade? button on that screen that takes you straight back to the picker.
