    24/7 call answering for plumbing firms — never miss a job

    A plumbing firm loses 22–38% of inbound emergency calls to voicemail on evenings and weekends — the exact hours when a homeowner is most willing to pay a premium — and a trained answering service recovers most of that lost revenue for a fraction of the missed-job value.

    What our plumbing call agents do

    Agents are trained on plumbing terminology, your service list, your postcode area, and your calendar. They qualify the job — type, urgency, location, decision-maker — offer an approximate call-out fee if you supply one, and book the appointment straight into your Google Calendar, Jobber, or ServiceM8.

    • 24/7 coverage or evening/weekend overflow only
    • Job qualification against your written brief
    • Live calendar booking into your CRM
    • SMS + WhatsApp confirmation to the homeowner

    How the pricing usually works out

    Overflow cover (only calls you miss get routed to us) runs £120–£280/month for most plumbing firms. Full 24/7 cover with named agents assigned to your account runs £450–£1,100/month. Compare that to one lost £180 emergency call per week and the return is straightforward.

    Why not just use a generic answering service

    Generic services follow a script, take a message, and email it to you the next morning — by which point the homeowner has rung a competitor. Our agents book the job in your calendar in real time, using knowledge of what jobs you'll take, at what price, and in which postcodes.

    Frequently asked questions

    How fast do calls get picked up?

    Median pickup on our overflow lines is 8 seconds. 95th-percentile is under 20 seconds — including at 3am.

    Do the agents actually book the job or just take a message?

    They book the job directly into your calendar, with the homeowner's confirmation on the call. You get an SMS the moment the appointment is set.

    What if the enquiry is out of my service area?

    The agent politely qualifies it out and logs the reason in your dashboard — you see the missed opportunity without paying for the appointment.

    Can I hand off my whole reception to you?

    Yes. Full-day cover replaces an in-house receptionist for many small plumbing firms, at roughly a third of the fully-loaded salary cost.

    Which CRMs do you integrate with?

    Jobber, ServiceM8, Commusoft, Fergus, Google Calendar, and Outlook — and any tool with a Zapier or Make webhook.

    When this isn't the right service for you

    This isn't the right service for plumbing firms that already answer 95%+ of inbound calls in-house within 20 seconds — you'll pay for coverage you're not using.
