How to grow your payments app with gas safety engineers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Gas safety engineers check, service and repair gas boilers, cookers and fires. In the UK, landlords must have the gas appliances in their lets checked every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer, so much of the work is yearly checks booked by landlords and letting agents, alongside homeowners who book a service. A payments app that handles check fees, repeat bookings and repairs can win gas engineers, and every landlord and homeowner that pays them sees your app.
Talk to gas safety engineers
Ask local gas safety engineers:
- How do landlords and agents pay for safety checks?
- Do you take payment on the day or send an invoice?
- How do you remind customers when a yearly check is due?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Get paid when the check is done
A link sent as soon as the check is finished lets the landlord, agent or homeowner pay straight away, so the engineer isn't chasing small invoices.
Make yearly checks repeat
Customers can pay for a yearly check or service on a plan, so the engineer gets steady work and the customer never misses a date.
Grow through landlords and agents
Gas engineers work alongside letting agents, electricians and plumbers. When those businesses take payments through your app, each engineer can bring more of them onto it.
