No app for the homeowner. Nothing new for your office to learn.
From enquiry to quote, without the wasted trips
One flow qualifies every enquiry. Here's what happens between a homeowner finding your website and you picking up the phone.
Enquiry
An enquiry form that starts qualifying immediately
More than a name and a number
Property type, ownership, current heating and timeframe are captured up front, with consent for the survey built in. Flats, renters and out-of-area enquiries are screened at the door.
On your website in an afternoon
One link or embed, in your branding, with your logo on it. Every enquiry is saved to your list either way.
Early look
Know the property before you spend a penny
The records, read for you
Energy certificate, tenure, listed status, conservation areas and planning constraints, checked automatically the moment the enquiry lands.
A straight answer on every lead
Each enquiry gets a property-fit verdict with the reasons spelled out, so you invest survey time only where it's earned. The tyre-kickers never cost you an evening.
Self-survey
The homeowner does the walk-around, guided by Aldous
One photo at a time, on WhatsApp
The boiler, the fuse board, the loft, the roof. Aldous asks for each photo, explains what it means for their home, and answers their questions as they go.
Serious buyers finish it
Twenty minutes of their evening tells you more than any callback. The ones who were never going to buy drop out on their own, before they cost you a visit.
Report
The survey report is ready before your first call
Photos, findings and watch-outs
Every item verified with the homeowner's own photos. Anything not gathered is listed honestly, so you know exactly what to check on site.
The desk work included
The property record, the constraints and the numbers that matter for your technology, together in one report you can read in two minutes or print for the van.
Your pipeline
Qualified leads land ready to close
One page shows the whole funnel
Every enquiry from brand new to surveyed, with its report one click away. No spreadsheet, no chasing screenshots around the office.
First call prepped for you
The lead lands in your pipeline with talking points from the research and a call scheduled for the next day. You ring someone who's expecting you, about a home you already understand.
After the survey
Concerns eased before they become cold feet
A first point of contact who knows their home
While the quote is with the customer, questions keep coming. Aldous stays on the same WhatsApp thread and answers them with tailored help and advice, drawn from their own survey: their radiators, their loft, their grant position.
You step in when it matters
Routine worries are settled on the spot, day or night. Anything that needs your judgement is flagged to you, so nothing sits in a voicemail while a customer goes cold.
Why Aldous?
Built to be easy to say yes to, and easy to stop if it's not for you.
Pay per report
You buy reports in blocks and spend one only when you invite a lead to survey. If the research fails, the report goes back on your balance.
Nothing to install
Homeowners use the WhatsApp they already have. You use one simple leads page. Your website keeps the form.
Set up for you
We put the form on your site, put your logo on the survey, and stay on support while you run it.
Your data is yours
Your leads, their photos and every report belong to you. Deleted on request, never used to train anyone's models.

How quickly can we get started? +
Days, not weeks. We set up your branded form and survey with you, and your first lead can go through the same week.
Does it replace our site survey? +
No. Your surveyor still does the site visit. What changes is what you know before you commit to one: which leads deserve a visit, and what you'll find when you get there. Fewer wasted afternoons, better first visits.
Will homeowners actually do a WhatsApp survey? +
There's no app and no login. It's their own phone camera and a guided conversation, and they get something real out of it: an honest read on their home and their questions answered as they go. The ones who don't finish have qualified themselves out before costing you a trip.
What happens after the survey, while the customer decides? +
Aldous stays on the same WhatsApp thread as the first point of contact. Questions and wobbles get tailored answers drawn from the customer's own survey, and anything that needs your judgement is flagged straight to you.
Which technologies does it cover? +
The walk-around is shaped to what you sell. Heat pump surveys are running today; solar PV, battery and EV charging walk-arounds are shaped with you when you join. The property research works the same way for all of them.
What does it cost? +
You pay per report, not per seat, so a quiet month costs you nothing. Book a call and we'll shape it to your volumes.
What happens to the customer's photos? +
The homeowner consents up front, on the form, to their photos being used to assess their home and shared with you in their report. Photos are stored securely, appear only in the report, and are deleted on request at any time. Everything is processed under UK GDPR.
