AI automation for plumbers and electricians: stop losing jobs while you're on the tools

Every tradesperson knows the bind: the phone rings while you're mid-job. You can't answer. By the time you're in the van, they've booked the next plumber on the list. The work you lose this way is invisible — it never shows up anywhere — but it's real money.

The trades problem in one sentence

Your busiest hours are exactly the hours you can't answer the phone — so the better you're doing, the more enquiries you lose.

What automation actually does for a trade business

  • Missed-call text-back. The second a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text: "Sorry we missed you — on a job. What do you need? We'll get you booked in." The conversation continues by text until the job is in the diary. Here's how it works.
  • A 24/7 receptionist. Evening and weekend enquiries get answered, qualified and booked instead of going to voicemail. See the AI receptionist.
  • Automatic review requests. Job done, invoice paid — a polite request for a Google review goes out at the right moment. More stars, more local visibility, more calls. Automated review generation.

"I'm not technical" is the point

You don't set any of this up. We build it around your existing number and your diary, in your tone, and run it for you. Most setups are live within a week, and there's a money-back guarantee if it's not a fit.

Do the maths for your own van

Average job value × calls you can't answer in a week × how many would have booked. Run your number here — then book a free strategy call and we'll plug the leak.
