Never Miss a Job Again: 24/7 Call Answering Service for UK Plumbers

Missed calls can significantly impact a plumber's business, leading to lost revenue and dissatisfied customers. PlumberCallGuard offers a 24/7 call answering service tailored specifically for UK plumbers, ensuring every call is answered promptly, even when you're on a job or it's after hours.

What Is PlumberCallGuard?

PlumberCallGuard is a UK-exclusive missed call answering service designed for plumbers and plumbing businesses. When a call is missed—whether you're under a sink or it's late at night—your personal assistant answers the call, captures the caller's name, job description, and contact details, and instantly alerts you via SMS and email. This allows you to return the call promptly, reducing the chance of losing the customer to a competitor.

How Does the Assistant Work?

Each plumber receives a personal assistant with a name and voice chosen during setup. The assistant answers in your business name, informs the caller of your unavailability, and offers to take a message. It captures the caller's name and job details, using the caller ID for the contact number unless a different number is provided. The assistant acknowledges the caller's information naturally without repetition and avoids quoting prices, diagnosing problems, giving technical advice, promising timeframes, or booking jobs. These constraints are enforced by the Tradesman's Handshake guarantee: if the assistant ever breaks these rules, you receive a 3-month refund, no questions asked.

Instant Missed Call Alerts

Immediately after a call ends, you receive an SMS alert formatted as: "Missed call — [Caller Name] / '[Job summary]' / [Magic link to call back]". This magic link allows you to call back through the system, ensuring the call is recorded and logged automatically. An email alert is also sent, providing the caller's number, an AI-generated summary, and a link to the portal. Both SMS and email alerts are available, with WhatsApp alerts coming soon.

Customisable Working Hours and Holiday Mode

PlumberCallGuard allows you to set your working hours per day group: weekdays (Mon–Fri), Saturdays, and Sundays. Each group has three options: 24/7 (always ring), set hours (ring during specific times, assistant handles the rest), or off (assistant handles all calls that day). A Holiday Mode toggle with an optional return date lets the assistant handle all calls while you're away. Outside working hours, your phone doesn't ring; the caller hears normal ringing, and the assistant answers, captures details, and sends alerts. You can update working hours anytime from the portal settings.

CallCatch™ Quote Builder

CallCatch™ enables you to send a professional, branded quote within 2 minutes of a missed call, increasing the chances of securing the job before a competitor does. The assistant pre-populates a draft quote using information captured during the call, highlighting fields for your review before sending. The quote includes customer details, job summary, line items with descriptions and prices, automatic VAT calculation, terms and conditions, and your business branding. Quotes are numbered sequentially, stored in the portal, and linked to the specific call they originated from.

QuickQuoter™

QuickQuoter™ is an AI quoting tool for fast, on-the-spot estimates. The Standard plan includes 5 sessions per month, while the Pro plan offers unlimited sessions.

Call Portal

Every captured call is stored in the portal with an AI-generated summary, caller's phone number, timestamp, and duration. The Pro and Partner plans also include full call recordings and transcripts with speaker attribution. The portal is accessible from any device at app.plumbercallguard.co.uk/portal.

StarStack™ Review Requests

StarStack™ sends automated review requests to customers after a job is complete, directing them to Google Reviews or a platform of your choice. You control who receives requests, ensuring only satisfied customers are prompted. The Standard plan includes 10 review requests per month, while the Pro plan offers unlimited requests.

LoyaltyLoop™

Exclusive to the Pro plan, LoyaltyLoop™ sends automated follow-ups to past customers, such as boiler service reminders and check-ins, keeping you top-of-mind without manual effort.
