Here is how our managed VAs help damp proofing contractors eliminate paperwork backlogs, book more surveys, and protect their evenings.

"I do 4 to 6 surveys a day across South London. Typing up 12-page damp reports with photos and moisture readings used to take up my whole evening. My SageDoer assistant takes my voice notes and finishes the PDF reports within 4 hours. My quote conversion rate went up 30%."

Managing Director, Thames Damp & Timber Preservation (London, UK)

"We were losing thousands every month in uncollected 50% deposits and delayed final stage payments. Our assistant runs Tradify and Xero, chases unpaid invoices, and issues 20-year guarantees right after completion. Cash flow has never been cleaner."

Richard Hughes
Owner, Sovereign Waterproofing & Plastering (Manchester, UK)

"Clustering my survey bookings by postcode was a game changer. Instead of driving 80 miles across the county every day, our VA groups appointments by postcode in ServiceM8. I saved £450 a month on diesel alone and can fit in two extra surveys a week."

"At $6/hour for full-time support with a dedicated Project Manager who reviews quote math and guarantee certificates before they go out, SageDoer costs less than 20% of hiring a local office manager. An indispensable asset to our company."

Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers for damp proofing contractors, remedial timber specialists, and basement waterproofing business owners.

Yes. You conduct the physical inspection and record the technical diagnosis—such as electrical moisture readings, visual salt crystallization, hygroscopic plaster salts, or woodworm flight holes. You simply record a quick 2-minute voice note on WhatsApp or upload your inspection checklist with photos. Your assistant transcribes the findings into your official PCA-style or company report template, embeds the photos with annotations, and prepares the final mortgage-compliant PDF ready for your final digital signature.

We enforce strict principle-of-least-privilege access. You never need to share master banking passwords or administrator credentials. Within Jobber, ServiceM8, Tradify, or Xero, you invite your assistant using secondary staff or dispatcher permissions limited to job scheduling, quote generation, and invoicing. All SageDoer personnel work under legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), ensuring customer addresses and trade supplier rates remain 100% confidential.

Using VoIP software like Aircall, RingCentral, or WhatsApp Business, your assistant answers phone inquiries promptly. During onboarding, your Project Manager collaborates with you to build a structured triage script: establishing property ownership (homeowner, pre-purchase buyer, tenant, landlord), asking for photos of the affected wall, checking wall construction (cavity vs solid brick), and quoting your standard survey fee before locking in the appointment on your calendar.

Yes. Remedial damp proofing businesses experience massive seasonal surges from October through March as heating gets switched on and black mold, condensation, and penetrating damp complaints spike. You can maintain our Part-Time plan (20 hrs/week at $7/hr) during baseline summer months, scale up to Full-Time (40 hrs/week at $6/hr) during the winter peak, and adjust back anytime with zero contract penalties.

100% transparent. SageDoer never charges placement fees, upfront retainers, onboarding deposits, or software percentage markups. You pay exclusively for the pure productive hours logged by your dedicated damp proofing assistant ($6 or $7/hr), and your assigned Project Manager’s quality supervision, quote checking, and standby backup coverage are completely free.
