Send a repair to your tradesperson (and see when it's done)

2 min read · Updated 8 October 2026

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

  1. Open the property and find the report.
  2. Press Send to a tradesperson and tap who to send it to. You can also choose Someone else and type their details.
  3. A professionally worded message is written for you, matching how urgent the repair is. Change anything you like.
  4. Leave Share the tenant's phone and email ticked if you're happy for them to arrange access directly.
  5. 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:

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.

Lost the email? Press Copy job link and send it by text or WhatsApp. Changed your mind? Press Cancel and the link stops working.
