AI automation for trades
Plumbers, electricians, builders and heating engineers all lose work the same way: the phone rings while you are under a sink, and the customer rings the next name on the list.
This page covers what we typically automate for trades, and what stays firmly in your hands.
The trade-specific problem
Your working day makes answering the phone impossible for hours at a time, and your quoting happens in the evening when you are tired. Both cost jobs, and neither shows up in your accounts as a loss.
What we usually put in place first
- 01
Missed-call text-back so an unanswered call becomes a captured enquiry rather than a lost one.
- 02
One enquiry list covering calls, forms and messages, with a follow-up nudge on anything untouched.
- 03
Quote assembly that reuses the enquiry details, so sending a quote takes minutes instead of half an evening.

- I am a one-man band. Is this overkill?
- Sole traders are often where it pays back fastest, because there is nobody else to catch the phone.
- Do I need to change my phone number?
- No. We work with your existing number in nearly every case.
- What happens if the automation gets something wrong?
- It stops and hands the job to you. Anything the system is not certain about is flagged rather than guessed at, and you see it the same day.
- What stays under human control?
- Pricing, promises and anything a customer would judge you on. The automation handles capture, chasing and record-keeping; the decisions stay yours.
