Sorry to hear that. We cover the whole area and quotes are free. Can I take your postcode, a photo if you have one, and the best number for our surveyor to call you?

What Thanet's numbers say about your customers

Drawn from the latest ONS and Census figures for Thanet, with what ChatFlow does about each.

Guests ask when you are busiest

11.4% of business units in Thanet are in hospitality: accommodation and food, above the UK share of 7%. Here, hospitality businesses get many of their questions about menus, opening hours and group bookings after the office would normally close.

Trades work on site, not at a desk

Thanet has a higher share of construction businesses than the UK as a whole (15.7% against 12.5%), and enquiries arrive while hands are full on site, and an unanswered one goes to the next firm on the list.
