AI Receptionist for Trades & Field Services
For plumbers, electricians, builders and HVAC firms: win the job before the caller dials the next tradesperson. Missed-call text-back, job enquiries captured while you are on site, after-hours answering and booking - all handled.
What it handles for a trades business
Missed-call text-back
The caller who hangs up gets an instant text with a reply link - so they book with you instead of the next tradesperson on the list.
Job & quote enquiries
Asks your qualifying questions - job type, location, urgency, access - and sends you a clean summary you can quote from.
After-hours answering
Evenings, weekends and while you are up a ladder, every call is answered instead of going to voicemail.
Books jobs
Connected to your calendar or job-management system, it reads real availability and books confirmed slots directly.
It’s our voice AI service, set up as an AI receptionist and connected to your calendar and CRM - so jobs booked on the phone land on the schedule you already work from. To see what the calls you miss on site are worth, use the missed-call calculator on the main hub page.
The AI stack we build on
AI receptionist for trades - common questions
How much does an AI receptionist cost for a trades business?
Off-the-shelf AI answering products run £50-£300 per month with per-minute limits and generic scripts. A custom-built AI receptionist - trained on your services and areas, connected to your calendar and CRM, with your qualifying and escalation rules - typically costs £3,000-£8,000 to build plus £100-£400 per month to run. If you win one extra job from a call you would have missed, it has usually paid for itself.
Can it capture job enquiries when I'm on site?
Yes. That is the point. When your hands are full, the AI receptionist answers, asks your qualifying questions - job type, location, urgency and access - and sends you a clean, structured summary so you can call back with everything you need. No more scribbled numbers or half-heard addresses, and no missed enquiry because you could not get to the phone.
Does it text back missed calls?
Yes. If a caller hangs up before the AI answers, or would rather not talk, the system instantly texts back: 'Sorry we missed you - reply here or tell us what you need.' In trades, whoever responds first usually wins the job, so missed-call text-back stops the caller dialling the next plumber, electrician or builder on the list.
Can it book jobs into my calendar?
Yes. A custom AI receptionist connects to your calendar or job-management system through a governed integration, reads your real availability, and books confirmed slots directly - so a job booked on the phone shows up on the same schedule you already work from, without you re-keying anything.
