How to grow your payments app with floor screeders
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Floor screeders lay the smooth, level layer that goes over concrete and underfloor heating before the final floor goes down. Jobs are often done in a day, in extensions, new builds and renovations, and many screeders are paid by the builder or homeowner when the floor is poured. A payments app that gets them paid on the day can win screeders, and every builder and homeowner who pays them sees your app.
Talk to floor screeders
Ask local floor screeders:
- Do you take a deposit to book the pour?
- Do builders or homeowners usually pay you?
- Do you get paid on the day or by invoice?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit when the pour is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the screeder can book the pump and materials.
Get paid when the floor is poured
The customer can pay the rest by card or link before the crew leaves, so the screeder isn't chasing an invoice for weeks.
Grow through building trades
Screeders work alongside underfloor heating installers, builders and flooring fitters. When those businesses take payments through your app, each screeder can bring more of them onto it.
