How to grow your payments app with house clearance and junk removal firms
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
House clearance and junk removal firms clear homes, garages, gardens and offices, often for landlords, estate agents and families sorting out a relative's home. Many quote from photos sent by message, take a deposit to book the job and get paid when the van is loaded, sometimes by someone who is not at the property. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote and takes the balance by link or card on the day can win these firms, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to house clearance firms
Ask local firms:
- How do customers ask for a quote today?
- Do you take a deposit to book a job?
- How do you get paid when the customer isn't at the property?
- Do landlords or estate agents use you regularly?
Send a deposit link with the quote
A payment link sent with a quote lets the customer book the job in a tap, so the firm isn't holding a slot for someone who may not turn up.
Get paid when no one is home
When a landlord or a family member lives far away, a payment link means the firm can be paid as soon as the van is loaded, without waiting for a bank transfer.
Grow through moves and property
Clearance firms work alongside removal firms, skip hire firms and letting agents. One firm on your app can introduce the others.
