For contractors

Get more jobs, with everything you need to do them well.

Jobs come to you where you already work — WhatsApp or email — with everything you need to do the job in a single message. No portal. No app. No new system. Just better jobs, better briefed, with less admin around them.

Why we built this

No more contractor portals.

If you’re a contractor working with letting agents, you’ve probably been asked to log into a different "contractor portal" for every agency you work with — each one with its own login, its own quirks, its own way of half-explaining the job. Lanten was built to fix that.

How it works

Jobs in your inbox, in one tap.

  1. Jobs land in your inbox or WhatsApp

    When a job is dispatched to you, you get a message wherever you’ve asked us to send it. The message contains a complete brief: the property address, access details, what’s wrong, what’s been tried, photos from the tenant, the diagnosis from our AI triage, and the tenant’s contact details when relevant. Everything you need to plan the visit.

  2. Confirm with one tap

    A simple link lets you accept the job, request more information, or pass on it. No login. No "fill in your hourly rate to register your account first." If you can accept a job, you can accept a Lanten job.

  3. Updates flow back automatically

    You don’t have to log into anywhere to confirm you’ve done the work. Update the tenant directly, send us a quick message, or send a photo of the completed job — we’ll handle the rest. The agent and landlord see the update without you doing any extra admin.

  4. Get paid faster

    Because the job, the work, and the completion are all logged in one place with timestamps and photos, invoicing is faster and cleaner. No "we can’t find the original instruction" delays.

What you get

Better briefs. Less chasing. Same tools.

Complete briefs, every time

You stop ringing tenants to ask basic questions because the brief already has the answers. Lanten’s AI triages every issue before it reaches you — gathering photos, asking the right diagnostic questions, narrowing down the likely cause. You arrive ready to work.

Specific job links and details

Every job has its own link with all the detail attached: photos, voice notes if the tenant sent one, the diagnosis, access notes, and the tenant’s contact information if you need it. No more piecing together threads from three different emails.

No new app, ever

You work in WhatsApp and email. So do we. There’s nothing to install, nothing to update, no password to forget. The only thing you’ll notice is that the briefs are better.

One way of working, across multiple agencies

If more than one agency you work with uses Lanten, all the jobs come through the same channels. You don’t have to remember which portal goes with which agency. It’s just jobs, in your normal inbox.

Frequently asked

Common questions, straight answers.

No traditional sign-up. The agency that wants to send you work adds you as a contractor in their system. From then on, jobs come straight to your email or WhatsApp. The first one is your sign-up.
Jobs come from letting agents who use Lanten and have you on their contractor list. If you’d like to be added to a specific agency’s list, the best route is to talk to that agency directly.
Each job has its own link with the full history. If you want a longer-term view, we can give you read-only access to a contractor view — but most contractors prefer just the messages.
Reply to say so, or use the "pass" option in the message. The job goes back to the agency for reassignment. There’s no penalty and no awkwardness.
Keep it as light as you’d like. A quick WhatsApp confirming the job is done, or a photo, is enough. The system pulls everything together for the agency and the tenant.
That depends on the agency and the urgency of the job. Each job message includes the expected response time. Emergencies are flagged as such.
Anything property maintenance: plumbing, heating, electrical, locksmithing, damp and mould, glazing, general handyman work, and the rest. If you cover the trade and the area, we’ll send you the relevant jobs.
Yes. Lanten is paid for by the letting agent. There’s no fee, subscription, or commission for contractors.
No. The agency is still on the other side of every job. Lanten just makes the routine communication — brief, dispatch, updates, completion — happen automatically so the calls you do have with the agency are about the things that actually need a conversation.
