Scoped before it's sold
You get a written specification, a fixed price and a delivery date. If an estimate has to move, we tell you why before the work happens — not in the invoice.
Software engineering · Whetstone, North London
We build the systems small UK companies actually run on — the quote tool, the booking flow, the thing that finally kills the spreadsheet. Scoped in writing before a line of code is written.
Three things we do differently
You get a written specification, a fixed price and a delivery date. If an estimate has to move, we tell you why before the work happens — not in the invoice.
Plain TypeScript and Python, documented, in your repository from the first commit. No in-house framework you have to keep renting from us.
The engineer who scoped the work writes it. Nothing is handed to a delivery pod you have never spoken to.
The studio
A small engineering studio in Whetstone, five minutes from Totteridge & Whetstone station. Four people. No account manager sitting between you and the person writing the code.
We take work in two shapes. A fixed-scope build with a date on it, or an engineer embedded in your team for an agreed number of days a month. Both are quoted in writing, and the quote is the price.
We don't build anything we can't hand over. If your team cannot maintain it without us in two years, we designed it wrong. That belief costs us the occasional retainer, and we're fine with that.
We also turn work down. Rescue jobs on a half-finished codebase we didn't write, and anything that needs to ship next Friday, are not ours — we'll say so on the call and suggest somebody better placed.
This website is run by Roomset Limited, a company registered in England & Wales, company number 17364274. Registered office: 20 Laurel Way, London N20 8HZ.
What it costs
Tick the ones that sound like your situation — they'll carry through to the enquiry form at the bottom of the page.
Prices are a guide for a London engagement and exclude VAT. Every quote is fixed in writing after scoping — nothing is billed by surprise.
Discovery is not a formality. It's the first deliverable.You keep the specification whether or not you build it with us.
How we work
A week with your team and your data. We come back with what should be built, what shouldn't, a price and a date. If the answer is "don't build this", we'll say that too.
Two-week increments, each one ending in working software you can open and use. You see progress on a URL, not in a status report.
Repository, documentation, deployment pipeline and a walkthrough with whoever inherits it. Support afterwards is a retainer you can leave — never a dependency.
Next step
Thirty minutes on a call, no charge and no deck. If we're not the right studio for the job, we'll say so and point you at someone who is.
