How to grow your payments app with asbestos surveyors
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Asbestos surveyors inspect older homes, schools, offices and industrial buildings, often before building or refurbishment work starts. They take samples for testing and write a report for the owner, builder or managing agent. Most jobs are quoted up front, and some surveyors take a deposit before the visit and the balance when the report is ready. A payments app that handles deposits, report fees and invoices can win asbestos surveyors, and every business or homeowner that pays them sees your app.
Talk to asbestos surveyors
Ask local asbestos surveyors:
- Do you take a deposit before the visit?
- Do customers pay before or after they get the report?
- How do builders and managing agents pay you?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit when the job is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit before the visit, so the surveyor knows the job is going ahead.
Get paid when the report is ready
A link for the balance sent with the finished report means the customer can pay straight away, without the surveyor chasing an invoice.
Grow through building trades
Asbestos surveyors work alongside builders, surveyors and demolition and refurbishment firms. When those businesses take payments through your app, each surveyor can bring more of them onto it.
