Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our home services mobile app development services.

How much does it cost to develop a home services mobile app?

Mobile app development costs vary depending on features and complexity. A basic customer booking app typically starts from £15,000, whilst comprehensive field service apps with advanced features range from £25,000-£50,000. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes after understanding your requirements. Development typically takes 3-6 months depending on scope.

Should we build for iOS, Android, or both platforms?

We recommend both iOS and Android to maximise customer reach, as most UK contractors need to support customers on both platforms. We can develop native apps for each platform or use React Native for cross-platform development, which is more cost-effective whilst maintaining good performance. We'll advise on the best approach based on your requirements and budget.

Can the app work offline for engineers in areas with poor signal?

Yes, we build apps with robust offline functionality. Engineers can view job details, update job status, capture photos, and collect signatures without internet connectivity. All data is stored locally and automatically synchronises with your office systems when connection is restored. This is essential for field workers in rural areas or buildings with poor signal.

How long does mobile app development take?

Mobile app development timelines depend on complexity. A basic booking app typically takes 3-4 months from initial consultation to app store launch. More complex field service apps with integrations take 4-6 months. We follow an agile development process with regular progress updates and opportunities for feedback throughout. Post-launch support continues indefinitely.

Can you integrate our app with our existing job management software?

Yes, we specialise in integrating mobile apps with existing business systems. We can connect with popular job management platforms, accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage), and custom systems via APIs. Real-time synchronisation ensures data consistency between mobile apps and office systems. We'll assess your current software during the consultation phase.

Do you provide ongoing maintenance and updates?

Yes, we provide comprehensive post-launch support including bug fixes, security updates, iOS/Android version updates, and feature enhancements. Our standard maintenance package includes monthly updates, 24/7 monitoring, and priority support. We also handle app store submissions for updates and ensure your app remains compatible with the latest operating systems.

How do customers download and use the app?

Your app is published to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store under your business name. Customers can search for your app by name or you can share direct download links via your website, email, and marketing materials. We can include QR codes on vehicle signage that link directly to app downloads. The app is free for customers to download.

Can we accept payments through the app?

Yes, we integrate secure payment processing including card payments, digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and direct debit. We use PCI DSS compliant payment providers like Stripe or PayPal. Engineers can generate quotes on-site and customers can pay immediately through the app. All transactions are encrypted and secure, with detailed payment records in your dashboard.

What customer data is collected and how is it protected?

Apps collect only essential data such as contact details, job history, and location data (with permission) for navigation. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on secure UK servers, and fully GDPR compliant. Customers control their data and can request deletion at any time. We implement role-based access controls so only authorised staff can view customer information.

Can the app handle emergency callouts and urgent bookings?

Yes, we can implement emergency booking features with priority routing to available engineers. Push notifications alert engineers to urgent jobs, and customers can indicate emergency situations when booking. The system can automatically prioritise emergency callouts, notify multiple engineers if needed, and provide estimated arrival times. GPS tracking allows customers to see when help is on the way.
