Your surveyors are your bottleneck

You're hiring installers and designers faster than you can hire surveyors. One person away on holiday and jobs sit waiting. In-house surveyors get sick, get paid whether work is there or not, and take time to train to your standard. So jobs queue up and your pipeline stalls.

Outsourcing moves the bottleneck. Send us the job, we do the survey, pack lands in your portal same day. You only pay when there's work to survey.

How it works

Four steps from postcode to pack

No back-and-forth. No surprises. You know the price before we book.

1

Send the postcode

Tell us the address, what surveys you need (ASHP, solar, battery, EV charger), and any site constraints. We check coverage and confirm we can do the job.

2

We confirm scope and price

We quote the job. Tell you the lead time. The price doesn't move unless the scope changes. You decide whether to go ahead.

3

Surveyor visits the site

They measure, photograph, and document everything you agreed. Takes 1–2 hours. We QC the work before it leaves here.

4

Pack in your portal same day

Branded PDF. Labelled photos. Measurements. All in one place. Ready for your office, designers, and install team.

What you get

What's in the outsourced survey pack

Not loose files and random photos. A structured pack your whole team can use.

Structure

Structured pack, not loose files

Branded PDF with your logo on every page. Sections clearly labelled. Photos numbered and referenced. Measurements in a table you can read. Not a photo dump.

Quality

Same standard every time

QC check before release. Our surveyors follow the same process whether it's your first job or your hundredth. Grow your install volume without hiring surveyors — the pack format stays consistent at 10 jobs a month or 100.

Access

Portal access for your whole team

Office staff, designers, and installers all see the same record. No hunting through emails. No lost attachments. Everything where your team can find it.

Cost

In-house surveyor vs outsourcing

The money is simpler than you think.

In-house surveyor:

  • Salary: £30,000–£40,000 per year
  • Vehicle: £3,000–£5,000 per year
  • Fuel, tax, insurance: £2,000–£3,000 per year
  • Training and development: £500–£1,000 per year
  • Management overhead (your time)
  • Cover when they're off sick or on holiday
  • Total: £36,000–£50,000+ per year, minimum

Outsource with Vertex:

  • £200–£250 per heat pump survey
  • £200 per solar survey
  • £150 per heat loss survey
  • Zero overhead. No salary. No vehicle. No training.
  • Pay only when there's a job to survey
  • No cover costs. No management time.
  • 150 surveys a year = £30,000. 200 surveys = £40,000–£50,000.

The difference: you only pay when there's work. If your pipeline slows, your cost drops. If it grows, you scale instantly with no hiring or training.

Our customers

Who's outsourcing surveys

Installers at every stage use this model. Here's who.

MCS-certified heat pump installers

Growing their install rate from 5 to 20+ jobs per month. They need surveys fast, in the right format, every time. Hiring a surveyor would cost more than outsourcing and take months to train.

Solar PV companies scaling up

10 to 50+ installs per month requires survey packs faster than one person can turn out. Outsourcing lets them stay on top of demand without hiring.

Multi-trade firms adding renewables

Already running plumbing, heating, electrical. Adding heat pumps or solar means adding surveyors too. Simpler to outsource survey packs while you build the install team.
