AI for Home Services

Your Best Customers Are Calling. Nobody's Picking Up.Hand gesture icon

Home services businesses miss nearly half their phone calls. Every missed call is a lost job — often worth hundreds. Our AI answers every call instantly, books the job, and follows up on quotes. You focus on the work. We make sure your phone never goes unanswered.

Built for Trades,
Not Tech Companies

You're brilliant at your trade. But answering phones while you're elbow-deep in a boiler repair? That's where jobs fall through the cracks. We've built AI tools specifically for home services businesses — no technical skills needed.

AI Phone Answering

An AI agent that sounds natural, answers within two rings, and knows your business. It handles enquiries, gives quotes for standard jobs, books appointments in your calendar, and texts you a summary. Works 24/7 — evenings, weekends, bank holidays.

Website Chat That Books Jobs

A chatbot on your website trained on your services and pricing. Visitors describe their problem, get instant answers, and book straight into your diary. Converts 2-4x more visitors than a contact form sitting there hoping someone fills it in.

Automated Follow-Ups

Sent a quote three days ago and heard nothing? The AI follows up for you. Texts, emails, even calls — at exactly the right intervals. No more chasing. No more jobs lost because you forgot to follow up while you were on another call-out.

Review Collection

After every completed job, the AI sends a friendly message asking for a Google review. Done automatically, at the right moment. More reviews means more trust, better rankings, and more calls. The flywheel that runs itself.

Real Numbers
From Real Trades Businesses

These aren't theoretical. These are the problems home services businesses tell us about every week — and exactly how our AI solves them.

  • 40-60% of Calls Go Unanswered

    You're on a job. You're driving. You're on the other line. The customer calls someone else. With AI phone answering, every single call gets picked up — instantly. No voicemail black hole. No 'I'll call them back later' that never happens.

  • Evenings and Weekends Are Peak Enquiry Time

    Most homeowners search for tradespeople after work — 6pm to 9pm. That's when you're having dinner, not answering the phone. AI doesn't clock off. The businesses that respond first get the job. Make sure that's you.

  • Quote Follow-Up Falls Through the Cracks

    You send a quote, get busy with other jobs, and forget to chase. The customer goes with whoever follows up first. Automated follow-up texts and calls mean no quote gets forgotten. Your close rate goes up without you doing anything extra.

  • Scheduling Is a Nightmare

    Phone ping-pong trying to find a time that works. Back and forth texts. Double bookings. The AI sees your live calendar, offers available slots, and confirms instantly. Customers love it because it takes thirty seconds instead of three days.

  • You're Paying for Ads That Ring Out

    Spending money on Google Ads or Checkatrade, but missing the calls those ads generate? You're literally paying to send customers to your competitors. AI makes sure every paid lead gets answered and captured.

  • No Time for Admin After a Full Day of Jobs

    End of a long day and you still need to return calls, send quotes, update the diary. The AI handles the admin throughout the day. By evening, your schedule is updated, leads are captured, and follow-ups are sent. You're done when the van door closes.

Live in 48 Hours,
Not 48 Days

No long projects. No complicated setup. We configure everything around your business and have it running in two days. Here's how.

Quick Chat About Your Business

30 minutes. We learn your services, pricing, service area, and how you want calls handled. Do you take emergency call-outs? What's your standard pricing? Which calendar do you use? We gather everything the AI needs to sound like part of your team.

We Build Your AI Agent

We configure your phone agent and chatbot. Train it on your services, FAQs, and pricing. Set up your calendar integration. Test it thoroughly — we call it ourselves pretending to be customers until it handles everything perfectly.

Plug In and Go

We either forward your existing business number to the AI, or give you a new local number. Your website chatbot goes live. Follow-up automations start running. You don't need to install anything or learn any software.

We Monitor and Improve

Every week we review call transcripts and chat logs. If customers ask something the AI doesn't handle well, we fix it same day. Your system gets smarter every week. You get a monthly report showing calls answered, jobs booked, and revenue captured.

Questions From Trades Businesses

Straight answers. No waffle. If your question isn't here, just ask — we talk like normal people.

Yes. Modern voice AI is remarkably natural — most callers won't realise they're talking to an AI. It responds conversationally, handles interruptions, and adapts to different accents. We configure the voice to sound professional and friendly, matching your brand. If a caller specifically asks to speak to a person, the AI offers to take a message or transfer the call.

We configure priority rules. If someone calls about a burst pipe at midnight, the AI recognises it as urgent and either patches them through to your emergency mobile or sends you an immediate alert with the details. Non-urgent enquiries get booked for the next available slot. You set the rules — we make the AI follow them.

Not even slightly. We handle everything. Setup, configuration, testing, ongoing management. You don't need to log into anything or learn any software. If you can answer a phone, you can use this — because the AI answers it for you. We send you summaries by text or email, however you prefer.

Starter package is £397/month — that gets you AI phone answering or a website chatbot with basic lead capture. Growth package at £797/month adds both phone and chat, plus automated follow-ups and scheduling. Setup fee is £797-£1,997 depending on the package. Most of our clients make back the monthly cost from one or two extra jobs that would have been missed calls.

AI works alongside them. Use it for overflow, out-of-hours, or weekends. Or use it as your primary answering and keep your person for complex situations. Many clients start with out-of-hours only and expand once they see the results. It's not about replacing people — it's about never missing a call.

Yes. It integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, and most scheduling tools. It sees your available slots, offers them to the customer, and confirms the booking — all in real time during the call. You get a notification with the job details. No double bookings, no phone tag.

You'll get a summary after every call and chat interaction — by text, email, or both. Monthly reports show total calls answered, jobs booked, quotes sent, and follow-ups completed. You'll see exactly how many leads the AI captured that would have been missed. Most clients see results within the first week.

Any home services business that relies on phone calls. HVAC engineers, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, cleaners, roofers, painters, locksmiths, pest control, handymen — if customers call to book work, this works for you. We tailor the AI to your specific trade and services.

Stop losing jobs to
missed calls.

Every unanswered call is money walking out the door. Your competitors are picking up. AI makes sure you never miss another lead — day or night, rain or shine.

Book a quick demo. We'll show you exactly how it works for your trade, what it sounds like, and how fast we can get you live. No pressure, no jargon, no contracts longer than 30 days.
