Electrician websites, quotes and certificates
ROISynth builds electricians a website that takes the enquiry while you are on the tools, a tidy record of every test and certificate with the date it falls due again, and quotes for remedial work that go out while the findings are still in your head.
Thursday afternoon, a rented flat. The inspection is done: two circuits need work, a socket is scorched behind the sofa, and the landlord will want a price for all of it.
You mean to write it up tonight. Tonight becomes Sunday, and by then the landlord has asked someone else, who sent a number on Friday.
An electrician’s paperwork isn’t the dull part of the job. It is where the next job comes from — and it is usually the part that waits.
Who this page is for
Domestic and commercial electricians and small electrical contractors: businesses that do installations, faults and periodic testing, finish most jobs with a test result or certificate, and depend on landlords, letting agents and small businesses whose checks come round on a schedule.
What does ROISynth build for an electrician?
A site that says clearly what you do — faults, rewires, consumer units, testing, installations — with an enquiry form that asks the property type and the problem, and a record for each job that keeps the test results and certificates together with the date the next check is due.
Quotes for the work an inspection turns up are written while you are still at the property, and they reach the customer looking considered rather than scribbled.
What goes wrong for an electrician that doesn’t for a plumber?
A plumber’s work is mostly visible and urgent. Yours is often neither: a periodic test finds problems the customer can’t see, and the remedial work only happens if the quote arrives while they still care.
And the repeat work is scheduled but unowned. Test dates recur on a cycle, and unless somebody reminds the landlord, the check doesn’t get booked — with you or with anyone.
How does electrical work reach you?
Faults arrive by phone and are urgent; installations and testing arrive by message from landlords, agents and homeowners who want a price. The landlord with twelve flats is worth more than twelve individual calls, and needs dealing with as one account.
An enquiry that arrives already saying what kind of property it is and what the problem is can be priced without a call back.
How does it fit around a day on the tools?
The enquiries sit waiting with their details until you are off the ladder. The findings from an inspection become a quote from the van, and the certificate is filed against the job and the address rather than in a folder in the cab.
When a test date approaches, the customer hears from you about it without you having to remember they exist.
What does an electrical business own at the end?
The website, every job record and every certificate, stored in accounts under your name, with the code yours.
A register of properties with their test dates is the recurring half of an electrical business. It should live somewhere you control and can search, not in a stack of carbon copies.
What actually changes, in the order it matters to you.
- Orders arrive without anyone writing them down.
- What you send a customer looks designed, because it was.
- The follow-up that always gets forgotten, never gets forgotten.
- Everything about every customer sits in one place, and it's yours.
- Money's collected, receipts go out, and nothing gets chased.
- Your ads point at your street, not your country.
- It reads properly on a phone, which is where most of them are.
The audit will show you what a landlord or a homeowner finds when they search for an electrician in your area, and whether your site says clearly what you do.
