AI for trades
You should be on the job, not quoting at 10pm.
Missed calls, quotes, follow-ups, job sheets and unpaid invoices take hours every week, mostly in the evening. We find which of them AI can take off your plate, and train your team to use it.
- Plumbers, electricians, builders and installers
- For firms of 5 to 50 staff
- £600 to get your team started
Where AI helps
Six places trades firms lose hours every week.
These are the tasks we usually look at on an office day. Some only need a training day. Others are worth a custom tool.

Missed calls on the job
- The problem
- You can’t answer with your hands in a boiler, and the caller rings the next firm on the list.
- How AI helps
- An AI receptionist answers, takes the details and photos, and books a visit or a call-back.
-
Training day
Writing quotes
- The problem
- Quotes get written in the van or at the kitchen table, days after the visit.
- How AI helps
- A clear quote drafted from your site notes and price list, ready for you to check and send.
-
Custom tool
Following up quotes
- The problem
- Quotes go out and nobody follows them up, so work you could have won goes quiet.
- How AI helps
- Friendly follow-ups sent after a few days, with replies passed straight to you.

Chasing unpaid invoices
- The problem
- Chasing money is awkward, so it waits until cash is tight.
- How AI helps
- Polite reminders sent on schedule, handed to you only when a phone call is needed.
-
Training day
Job sheets and paperwork
- The problem
- The day’s paperwork gets written up from memory at the end of the week.
- How AI helps
- Voice notes from site turned into tidy job sheets for the engineer to check.
-
Training day
Reviews and customer updates
- The problem
- Happy customers never get asked for a review, and waiting customers never hear back.
- How AI helps
- Update messages and review requests drafted and sent at the right moment.
Do the maths
Missed calls, counted in pounds.
10 missed calls a week times 1 in 4 would have become a job times £400 average job equals £1,000 of work a week going elsewhere.
Over 50 working weeks, that’s £50,000 of work.
This is a worked example to show the scale, not a promise. On the office day we measure your real numbers.
What stays human
Some things AI shouldn’t touch in trades businesses.
- Pricing the job. AI can lay out a quote. You decide what the work is worth.
- Safety and certification. Certificates and safety checks are signed by the qualified person who did the work.
- Customers in a crisis. A burst pipe needs a person on the phone, fast.
