Send a repair to your tradesperson (and see when it's done)
The short version
- On any report, press Send to a tradesperson.
- They get an email with a link to the job: the problem, the photos and, if you choose, the tenant's number.
- They book their visit and mark it done with an "after" photo. You get told at each step.
Save your tradespeople first
Go to Account → Your tradespeople and add the people you use: their name or business name, email, trade and phone number. You only do this once.
Sending the job
- Open the property and find the report.
- Press Send to a tradesperson and tap who to send it to. You can also choose Someone else and type their details.
- A professionally worded message is written for you, matching how urgent the repair is. Change anything you like.
- Leave Share the tenant's phone and email ticked if you're happy for them to arrange access directly.
- Press Send request.
If the report was new, it moves to In progress and your tenant is told it's being dealt with.
What the tradesperson sees
A simple page with the address, what's wrong, the tenant's photos and your contact details. There's no app to download and no account to create. From that page they can:
- Book the visit: pick a date and time and add a note. You get an alert and an email.
- Mark the job done: say what they did, add the cost if they want, and upload "after" photos or a photo of the invoice.
Following it in UnitCare
Under the report you'll see each tradesperson and where they're up to: sent, opened, visit booked or done. Their notes, cost and photos appear there too. Once you've checked the work, press Mark as fixed so your tenant is told.
