Who we help across the UK

Most of the people we work with are sole traders and small teams: plumbers and gas engineers, electricians, roofers, builders, joiners, plasterers, landscapers, cleaners and locksmiths. We also work with garages and MOT centres, salons, clinics, gyms and other local businesses whose phone is their till.

What they have in common is time. A tradesman on a roof, under a boiler or driving between jobs cannot answer every call, reply to every Facebook message and keep a website up to date. That is the gap we fill.

What a website and AI receptionist do for a UK trade business

Your website is where customers check you are real before they ring. It needs your services, the towns you cover, photos of your work, your Gas Safe, NICEIC or other registrations if you hold them, and a clear phone number. We build it so it loads fast on a phone and is set up for local search from day one.

The AI receptionist answers website chats and, if you want it, phone calls when you cannot. It takes the customer's name, number, postcode and the job, answers common questions in your words, and sends you a tidy summary so you can call back the ones worth having.

Missed-call text-back for UK customers

UK customers rarely leave voicemails. If they hit your answerphone they usually try the next name on Google or Checkatrade. Missed-call text-back sends an automatic text within moments of a missed call, saying you are on a job and asking what they need, so the conversation stays with you instead of moving to a competitor.

How UK customers find tradespeople

Most searches are on a phone and include "near me" or a town name. Your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your website work together here, alongside directories such as Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Rated People and Bark. We do not ask you to drop any of them. We make sure the enquiries you already earn are answered quickly and that your own site and Google profile bring in work you do not pay per lead for.

Business types we work with in the UK

  • Plumbers and gas engineers
  • Electricians
  • Roofers
  • Builders and joiners
  • Plasterers and decorators
  • Landscapers and gardeners
  • Cleaners
  • Locksmiths
  • Garages and MOT centres
  • Salons and clinics
  • Gyms and personal trainers
  • Solar and heat pump installers

Phone numbers

UK mobiles start 07 and landlines 01 or 02, or +44 from abroad. Your AI receptionist and missed-call text-back work on the number you already use, so customers notice nothing except faster replies.

Time zones

We work UK hours on GMT in winter and BST in summer, the same clock as you. Calls are booked around your working day, including early mornings and evenings when tradespeople are easier to catch.

How we work remotely

We are based in Dundee and Belfast and we do not have offices anywhere else. Clients in Cornwall, Cardiff, Manchester or Aberdeen get exactly the same service, because the work is done by phone, video call and screen-share.

It starts with a free discovery call. We ask what jobs you want more of, which areas you cover and how enquiries reach you today, then agree what you need and what it costs.

We then build a free demo of your website and walk you through it on a screen-share. You only pay once you are happy with the direction.

After launch, changes are a message away. Send a photo of a finished job or a new price list by email or WhatsApp and we update the site for you.

Answers for tradespeople in the UK

How much does an AI receptionist cost for a small business?

With us, an AI receptionist is a monthly extra added to a website that starts from £350 one-off. The monthly price depends on how many calls and chats you get and what you want it to do, such as answering questions, taking job details or texting back missed calls. We agree the exact figure on a free discovery call.

There is no long contract. You can start with missed-call text-back on its own and add the full AI receptionist later. Prices on this page are guides; your final quote is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

What is the best AI receptionist for plumbers, electricians and heating companies?

The best AI receptionist for a trade business is one that answers instantly, asks the questions you would ask, such as postcode, job type and urgency, and sends you a clear summary by text. It should also text back missed calls and hand emergencies to you straight away rather than trying to book them itself.

We set ours up around your trade: a plumber's version asks about leaks and boiler make, an electrician's asks about fault type and property, and a heating version asks about system type and service history. It always says it is an assistant and never makes up prices.

Is a website or an AI receptionist better for getting more jobs?

You need both, because they do different jobs. A website helps new customers find you and trust you. An AI receptionist makes sure that, once they get in touch, nobody is left unanswered. A website without fast replies loses enquiries, and fast replies without a website means fewer enquiries to begin with.

If budget is tight, most tradesmen start with a website from £350 one-off plus missed-call text-back, then add the full AI receptionist once enquiries pick up. We talk this through honestly on the discovery call.

How does missed-call text-back work?

When you cannot answer, your phone forwards the missed call to our system, which sends the caller a text from your business within moments. It says you are on a job and asks what they need. Their reply comes straight to your phone, so you can call back the right people first.

It works with your existing mobile number using normal call forwarding. Only people who have just rung you get a text, and you choose the wording. You can switch it off at any time.

How much does a website for a tradesman cost?

Our websites for a tradesman start from £350 one-off. That covers a professional, mobile-first site built around your trade and the areas you cover, with Google Business Profile setup. Hosting, updates, the AI receptionist and other extras are optional monthly add-ons, all agreed on a free discovery call first.

We build a free demo of your site before you pay anything, so you can see exactly what you are getting. Bigger sites with lots of service and area pages cost more, and we tell you the price before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with tradespeople in every part of the UK?

Yes. We work with tradesmen and small firms in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Everything is handled remotely from our bases in Dundee and Belfast, so where you are makes no difference to the price or the speed of the service.

How much does a website for a UK tradesman cost?

Our websites start from £350 one-off. Extras such as the AI receptionist, missed-call text-back, hosting and review requests are optional monthly add-ons. We agree exactly what you need, and the full cost, on a free discovery call before any work starts.

Will I keep my existing phone number?

Yes. Missed-call text-back and the AI receptionist are set up on the number your customers already know. Nothing changes on your vans, cards or directory listings.

Does this replace Checkatrade or MyBuilder?

Not necessarily. Many tradespeople keep a directory listing and add their own website and Google profile alongside it. We help you answer every enquiry quickly wherever it comes from, and build up a source of work you do not pay per lead for.

Is the AI receptionist GDPR compliant?

We set the AI receptionist up to say it is an assistant, collect only what you need to quote, and pass details straight to you. You remain the data controller under UK GDPR, so we talk through your privacy notice and any call recording on your discovery call. This is not legal advice.

How quickly can my site go live?

Most sites go live within days of the demo being approved, once we have your photos, services and areas. Missed-call text-back can usually be switched on at the same time.
