On site means off the phone
You can't quote a boiler repair while you're elbow-deep in pipework. The jobs you're doing cost you the jobs you're missing.
Built for UK plumbers, electricians, builders & heating engineers
Stop Losing Jobs to Missed Calls
TradesCall answers your calls when you're on site, driving, or off the clock. Captures the job properly and texts the lead straight to you — so the next customer doesn't ring the plumber after you.

The real problem
You don't have a lead problem. You have a missed-call problem.
The phone rings while you're under a boiler, up a ladder, or driving. You can't answer. The caller rings the next plumber on Google. You never even knew about the job.
Voicemail is not a sales process. If nobody answers, the work goes to whoever picks up first.
🌙
Evenings and weekends bring the best leads
Homeowners call when the heating dies or the tap won't stop. That intent arrives after hours — when you're not answering.
💷
A receptionist costs more than you'd earn
£20k+ a year for a human receptionist is overkill for a 1-5 person operation. TradesCall gives you front-desk coverage at a fraction of the cost.
What it does
A sharp, organised front desk for your trade business.
Not a generic chatbot with a phone line bolted on. Tuned for real trade calls: job intake, postcode filtering, urgency triage, availability checking, and confirmation.

The maths
One recovered job usually pays for the month.
If one missed boiler call, consumer-unit quote, or leak visit turns into a booked job, the subscription has justified itself.
🔥 Plumbers & heating
Leaks, boiler pressure drops, and no-hot-water calls come with urgency. Speed to answer matters more than branding.
⚡ Electricians
Fault-finding, EICRs, landlord certs, and consumer-unit work — easy to qualify by phone, expensive to lose.
🏗 Builders, roofers & joiners
Larger-ticket quote requests arrive while the team is on site. Structured intake keeps the lead warm.

Can it handle pricing questions?
Yes — approved pricing ranges, callout fees, and quote policy. For variable jobs, she captures the lead and positions a callback.
What counts as an emergency?
You set the rules. Gas leaks, flooding, no heating for vulnerable customers, dangerous electrical faults trigger immediate human callback.
