AI receptionist at spareday
Answer calls while you are on a job.
An AI receptionist for plumbers answers in your business name, establishes what has gone wrong and where, and either books the job or passes it to you.
When you are working, the phone is hard to answer. spareday sets up an answering service that takes those calls in your business name, records what has gone wrong and where, and books the job or passes it to you.
What it handles
Ordinary calls, answered in your business name.
Most plumbing calls are ordinary: what is wrong, where, whether you cover that suburb and when someone could come.
- What has gone wrong, and where
- Taken down properly, so your callback starts where the call left off.
- Areas and services
- It explains the work you do and the suburbs you cover, so it only books jobs you take on.
- Bookings
- Offers times from your real calendar, or passes the details to you.
- Urgent calls
- Burst pipes and leaks go to you or your on-call plumber immediately.
Clear limits
No quotes or promises, and people for unusual calls.
The receptionist only says what you have approved. It does not price work, and it offers only the times your calendar shows.
- No quotes on unseen jobs
- It can explain that call-outs are priced on inspection. It does not put a figure on a job.
- No times you have not agreed
- It only offers what your calendar shows.
- Distressed or unusual callers go through
- Passed straight to you.
How it works
Agree what it can say, then switch it on.
It is set up around your business: the work you do, the areas you cover and how you want messages passed on.
- Look at your missed calls
- How many calls go unanswered and when, which decides whether this is worth doing.
- Write and approve what it says
- You approve its wording, what it can book and where each type of call goes.
- Connect it to your number and calendar
- It works on your existing number. We check what your calendar or job app allows before quoting.
- Test it, then switch it on
- Test calls run through the awkward cases before it goes live.
Before you decide
Owned by your business.
You own what we build. It runs on accounts in your business's name, on your existing number, and keeps working if you stop working with us. Ongoing support is agreed in the scope.
A simpler option is missed-call text back, which replies in writing to any call you miss and does nothing else. For many small businesses it is enough.
If most of your calls need a real conversation, a staffed answering service may suit you better, and we will say so.

A few practical details
Before we get started.
Will it quote a job?
No. It can explain how call-outs are priced, but never puts a figure on unseen work.
What happens with an urgent leak?
It takes the address and details and passes the call to you or your on-call plumber straight away.
Is a staffed answering service better?
For unusual or upset callers, yes, and it costs more. For ordinary calls, an AI receptionist handles most of them.
Does it work on my current number?
Yes. It answers on your existing number, and the account and recordings are in your name.
