OnlineHello, I have a leak under the kitchen sink, it's been dripping non-stop since this morning. Can you come today?
Hello! Yes, we can come today. First of all: close the small tap under the sink (the shut-off valve) to stop the leak in the meantime.
For a repair on a leak under the sink, expect a call-out + 1 h of labor: between €90 and €140 incl. VAT, plus parts if a flexible hose or a trap needs replacing. Which slot suits you?

Delorme & Partners — AssistantAccounting firm
OnlineHello, I run a single-owner company, when is my VAT return due? I think I'm on the simplified scheme.
Hello! Under the simplified VAT scheme, you pay two installments during the year, in July and in December, then you file the annual return by the 2nd business day after May 1 if your fiscal year follows the calendar year.
I've checked your file: your fiscal year does follow the calendar year. So your next deadline is the December installment. Would you like me to ask Ms. Delorme to send you the estimated amount?
Yes, and do I need to send you anything beforehand?
To calculate the installment as accurately as possible, we're missing your October sales invoices and this month's bank statement. You can upload them directly to your client portal or send them to me here. I'm passing the request to Ms. Delorme, she'll reply within 48 business hours.
Marchal Plumbing — AssistantPlumber and heating engineer
OnlineMy water heater is leaking from the bottom, there's a puddle in the utility room. Is it serious?
It's not dangerous, but you need to act tonight. Do two things right away: switch off the water heater's circuit breaker and close the cold water inlet valve (the tap under the unit, usually with a safety valve).
A leak from the bottom often comes from the safety valve (part ~€30 to €60) or, if the tank is pierced, means a replacement. We can come tomorrow morning to diagnose: call-out + diagnosis €75 incl. VAT, deducted if you have the repair done with us.
Tomorrow 8am – 9amTomorrow 10am – 11am8am tomorrow works. And if the tank is dead, how much is a new one?
For a 200 L electric tank installed, supplied, with the old unit taken away, expect between €850 and €1,200 incl. VAT depending on the brand. Karim will give you an exact quote on site tomorrow at 8am before any work. Shall I note your address?
Bastide Locksmiths — AssistantLocksmith · emergencies 7 days a week
OnlineI just slammed my door shut, the keys are inside, I'm outside with my son. Can you come quickly?? How much is it going to cost me?
We'll take care of it. A slammed door (not locked with the key) opens without damage in the vast majority of cases. Our night rate is clear: call-out + simple opening = €129 incl. VAT, stated before leaving, no surprises on arrival.
If the door is locked or reinforced, the locksmith gives you the exact price before starting. What is your address? I'm starting the job.
8 impasse du Moulin, Toulouse, 2nd floor. No, it's not locked, just slammed shut.
Perfect. Julien is on his way, estimated arrival in 25 to 35 minutes. He'll call you from 06 ·· ·· ·· 41 when he arrives. Please have an ID or proof of address ready: we always ask for it before opening. Could you leave me a number where we can reach you?
Lumen Training Institute — AssistantQuality-certified training center
OnlineHello, can your "Payroll Administrator" course be funded with my personal training account? I have €1,800 in it.
Hello! Yes: our Payroll Administrator course leads to a level 5 registered professional qualification, so it's eligible for training-account funding. It's listed at €2,400 on the official portal.
With €1,800 in credits, €600 would remain: it can be covered by a public employment service top-up if you're a job seeker, or by your employer. What is your situation?
I've been registered as a job seeker since March. When are the next sessions?
In that case the top-up is possible: your employment advisor approves the request directly on your training-account file. Next online sessions, 35 h/week:
Prerequisites: high-school diploma or 2 years of administrative experience. Shall I send you the detailed program and let Sarah, our advisor, know for a 20-minute interview? I just need your email.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before getting started.
Do I need technical skills to set up HandyAsk?
No. You fill in a plain-language form (opening hours, service area, prices, services) and your agent is ready. To show it on your website, you copy one line of code or simply share a link. If you get stuck, we set it up with you over the phone.
Can the agent get it wrong or make up a price?
The agent only answers from the details you gave it and the validated trade knowledge base. If it doesn't know, it says so and passes the question on to you rather than inventing an answer. You review conversations and correct an answer in one click: it remembers.
What happens when a customer has a real emergency?
The agent recognizes the emergencies specific to your trade (a leak, a slammed door, a heating failure, an imminent tax deadline), gives first advice and alerts you immediately by SMS (Pro and Agency plans) with a summary and the customer's number.
Where does my customers' data go?
Conversations are hosted in Europe and belong to you. They are never used to train third-party models. You can export or delete them at any time, in line with the GDPR. A template record of processing is provided for your own obligations.
Can I add my own documents: price list, terms, course program?
Yes, from the Pro plan: you upload your PDFs or web pages, the agent uses them to answer and cites the source when useful. On Essential, you enter your details in the guided form.
What if I want to stop?
You cancel in one click from your workspace, with no justification and no phone call. The agent stays active until the end of the paid month, and you can export your conversations before the account is closed.
Your agent can be answering by tonight.
