How to grow your payments app with damp proofing and insulation installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Damp proofing and insulation installers survey homes for damp and heat loss, treat rising and penetrating damp, fit damp-proof courses and membranes, and install loft, cavity wall and floor insulation. Many charge for a survey, take a deposit to book the work and buy materials, and collect the balance when the job is finished. A payments app that takes the survey fee by link, sends a deposit link with the quote and takes the balance on the day can win these installers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to damp and insulation installers
Ask local installers:
- How do customers pay for a survey today?
- How do you take a deposit to book the work?
- How do you get the balance when the job is done?
- How much time goes on chasing payments?
Get the survey paid up front
A payment link sent when the survey is booked means the installer isn't travelling out for free.
Take deposits and final payments
A deposit link with the quote books the job, and the customer can tap to pay the balance as soon as the work is signed off.
Grow through trades
Installers work alongside plasterers, roofers and builders. One installer on your app can introduce the others.
