For UK Trades & Field-Service Businesses

AI receptionist for UK tradespeople who can't answer the phone on the job.

You didn't start a trade to answer the phone at 9pm. Our AI receptionist answers every call 24/7, books jobs straight into your diary, and captures the emergency work you'd otherwise miss.

The short answer

An AI receptionist for tradespeople answers every call 24/7, books jobs straight into your calendar, captures emergency and out-of-hours leads, and texts customers a confirmation — so plumbers, electricians and contractors stop losing work while they're under a sink or up a ladder.

What it does

What your AI receptionist does on every call.

01

Answers every call, 24/7

No more voicemail. Every call is picked up instantly, day or night, in a natural voice that represents your business properly.

02

Books jobs into your diary

It checks your availability, books the slot and logs the job details — so you turn up knowing exactly what you're walking into.

03

Captures emergency leads

Out-of-hours and emergency callers are triaged and logged immediately, so the £2,000 boiler job doesn't ring the next plumber instead.

04

Texts confirmations & reminders

Customers get an instant SMS confirmation and a reminder before the visit — fewer no-shows, fewer "did you get my message?" calls.

How it works for trades

Never lose a job to voicemail again

When you're on the tools, every unanswered call is a missed booking. Our AI receptionist answers instantly, qualifies the job, and books it straight into your diary.

From missed call to confirmed booking in seconds

The agent captures job type, address and urgency, books into your schedule and sends the customer a confirmation — all before you've finished your current job.

Who it's for

Built for trades where a missed call is lost money.

  • Plumbers, electricians and gas engineers losing calls on the tools.

  • One-van and small teams with no one to answer the phone.

  • Emergency and out-of-hours trades leaking high-value jobs.

  • Contractors paying for leads, then missing the call that follows.

  • Anyone whose voicemail is quietly costing them bookings.

By trade

Configured for your trade specifically.

The receptionist is set up around the jobs, language and urgency of your trade — so it qualifies and books like someone who knows the work.

AI receptionist for plumbers

Triages leaks and boiler emergencies, captures out-of-hours callouts, and books routine work around your existing jobs.

AI receptionist for electricians

Handles fault callouts, EICR and rewire enquiries, qualifies the job, and books the right length of slot into your diary.

AI receptionist for HVAC & heating engineers

Captures no-heat emergencies, service-plan renewals and install quotes, and prioritises urgent jobs automatically.

AI receptionist for builders & contractors

Screens enquiries, captures project detail and timelines, and books site visits without you stopping work to take the call.

AI receptionist for landscapers & grounds

Handles seasonal demand spikes, qualifies maintenance vs one-off jobs, and books visits straight into your calendar.

Pricing & ROI

One booked job a week usually covers it.

Pricing is fixed to your call volume, not a per-minute meter. For most trades, a single recovered job a week more than covers the cost — and if it hasn't paid for itself in 90 days, we keep building until it does.

  • Fixed monthly price scoped to your call volume.
  • Goes live on your existing business number.
  • Pay-Back-Or-We-Keep-Building guarantee.
  • Written ROI projection within 48 hours of your free audit.

Recovered booked work

The challenge

A two-van plumbing firm was sending every after-hours and on-the-job call to voicemail — and losing emergency boiler work to competitors who simply picked up.

The outcome

The AI receptionist now answers every call, triages emergencies and books jobs overnight — recovering around £4,100 of work a month that used to go to voicemail.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Yes. It checks your live availability, books the slot, and writes the job details, customer and address into your calendar — so the booking is done by the time the call ends.
