Tell Us About Your Property Maintenance Business
Your services — reactive repairs, planned preventative maintenance, compliance testing, void turnarounds, facilities management — your client types, SLA tiers, coverage area, and how you want out-of-hours emergency maintenance calls handled.
We Build Your Maintenance-Trained AI
We train the AI with property maintenance terminology — reactive versus planned work orders, priority P1/P2/P3 classification, compliance certificates, void timelines, multi-trade coordination — so it triages and captures every request accurately.
You Focus on Managing the Portfolio, Not the Phone
While you are coordinating subcontractors across multiple properties or completing a void turnaround inspection, every call is answered. Emergency P1 requests escalated immediately. Routine maintenance bookings, compliance renewals, and new contract tenders captured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is WhatsApp the primary communication channel between letting agents and maintenance contractors?
Seventy percent of letting agents now use WhatsApp for reactive maintenance reporting because it provides instant delivery, photo sharing for visual fault evidence, a written record for dispute resolution, read receipts confirming your awareness, and group chat capability for multi-person letting agency offices. A letting agent WhatsApp message — "42 Elm Street, tenant reports no hot water, boiler showing error code, photo attached" — communicates the fault, location, and visual evidence in a single message that would take 5 minutes to convey by phone. The AI responds with instant confirmation and intelligent follow-up questions that maintain your preferred contractor status.
How does the AI handle tenant photo evidence messages forwarded by letting agents?
Letting agents frequently forward tenant photos of faults — water damage, boiler error codes, electrical issues, broken fixtures — via WhatsApp for pre-assessment before dispatching an operative. The AI responds with informed acknowledgement and follow-up questions about the fault severity, tenant circumstances, and access availability. Photo-based pre-assessment enables your dispatch team to send the correct trade operative with appropriate materials, reducing return visits that waste 2 to 3 hours of billable time.
Can the AI handle void turnaround progress update messages?
Yes. During multi-day void turnarounds, landlords and letting agents message requesting progress updates, additional scope approval — "discovered damp behind the kitchen units, repair or just paint over?" — and timeline confirmation. The AI provides responsive coordination that maintains landlord confidence in the turnaround programme.
Does WhatsApp automation handle operative coordination messages?
Yes. Letting agents messaging about specific operative requests — "can you send the same plumber from last time, tenant preferred him" — scheduling changes, and access arrangement updates receive instant responses. Responsive operative coordination demonstrates the personalised service quality that retains portfolio contracts.
What does WhatsApp automation cost for property maintenance companies?
£29/month as an add-on. Unlimited messages included. Retaining one letting agent portfolio relationship — worth £10,000 to £50,000 per year — covers the add-on cost for the lifetime of the business.
What is the benefit of AI WhatsApp for my property maintenance company?
Letting agents and landlords live on WhatsApp for property maintenance coordination — sending photos of reported faults, confirming access arrangements with tenants, sharing inspection reports, and requesting urgent callouts. A letting agent messaging a photo of a leaking radiator valve at one of their managed properties needs immediate confirmation that an operative is being dispatched. Your AI responds within seconds, confirming receipt and capturing the property address, tenant contact details, and access arrangements. At £29 per month with unlimited messages, maintaining instant WhatsApp responsiveness with letting agents protects the portfolio relationships that generate £10,000 to £50,000 per year in recurring maintenance work. One retained agent relationship covers the add-on cost permanently.
What if my property maintenance manager business changes its prices or services?
Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've adjusted your reactive repair pricing, added compliance testing programmes to your services, or changed your emergency SLA response tiers, we'll update your ai whatsapp within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any property maintenance manager business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your property maintenance manager business.
