Where jobs go missing

Sound familiar?

You’re on the tools

Elbow-deep in a boiler swap when the phone rings out. ~80% of callers won’t leave a voicemail — they just ring the next firm on Google.

One missed call ≈ one £250 job

It’s gone 6pm

Burst pipes don’t keep office hours. Out-of-hours calls are the most urgent, highest-value jobs — and the first ones you lose.

Emergency call-outs pay the most — and can’t wait

You ring back at five

Too late. They called at two, someone else picked up, and the job’s gone. Ringing back loses to whoever answers first.

First to answer wins the job

Sam catches all three — answers in seconds, books the job, and pings you the moment it’s urgent. Hear it live →

Sam only answers the calls you’d have missed. If you pick up, your customer never even meets it — Sam just catches the overflow: after hours, weekends, and when you’re on the tools.

How it works

Live in a day. Nothing for you to learn.

1

A customer calls

Your phone rings out, it’s after hours, or you’re up a ladder — the call forwards to Sam instead of voicemail.

2

Sam answers, captures & books

Sam answers as your business, captures the caller’s name, number, address and the problem, and — for routine jobs — checks your calendar and books a slot on the spot.

3

You get notified & it’s logged

Emergencies ping you instantly. Every call lands in your dashboard with a transcript, the details, and a recording.

Built for your trade

Sam knows what counts as an emergency in your line of work.

Sam knows a dripping tap can wait — and a burst pipe can’t.

  • Burst pipe / major leak
  • No water in the property

Booking, not just messages

Books the job — and shows you everything

Sam isn’t an answering machine. For routine jobs, Sam checks your real availability, offers open slots, and books the visit while the customer is still on the line. Every booking lands on your dashboard calendar — with the name, time, address and the job — ready to action.

  • Checks your live calendar before offering times
  • Books the visit on the call, into your real calendar
  • Captures every detail: name, number, address, the job

It keeps the customer moving — and shows you the money

Two things voicemail and answering services simply can’t do.

💬 Instant text-back

Your customer can finish by text

The moment they hang up, Sam texts from your number. The secure link lets them correct a detail, add a note or send a job photo. If the call dropped, the enquiry stays active instead of disappearing.

Text from your business

Hi Sarah, Sam from Manchester Plumbing here — we’ve got your appointment request for your leak. Manchester Plumbing will confirm shortly. Ref #4821

Careful wording — it never says “booked” until you've confirmed it.

📈 Real ROI

See exactly what Sam’s saved you

Your dashboard adds up every job Sam captures, in pounds — so each month you can see your receptionist paying for itself many times over.

Revenue Rescue

The call can end.The enquiry does not.

If a caller drops out or still needs help, Sam keeps the job moving by text. The customer can fix a detail or send a photo without ringing again, while you see exactly what is waiting, what was promised and what the job was really worth.

  • Secure customer link that expires automatically
  • Private job photos - visible only in the signed-in dashboard
  • Won, lost and actual-value tracking on every rescued enquiry

Live recovery route

One enquiry. No dead end.

Common questions

Does it sound robotic?+

Sam clearly introduces itself as your AI receptionist, but the voice is natural, calm and conversational — so callers still get a professional experience instead of voicemail. Try the live demo above and judge for yourself.

Will I lose customers because it’s AI?+

It’s the question every owner asks. But remember what callers are actually comparing: it’s not Sam vs. you — it’s Sam vs. your voicemail. Most callers just want help fast, and a calm voice that takes their details and gets them booked beats a beep every time. Sam always introduces itself as your AI receptionist, so nobody feels tricked. And if your customers genuinely don’t take to it, the 30-day guarantee means you’ve risked nothing.

What if Sam can’t answer a question?+

Sam’s job is to capture the job and reassure the caller — not to quote or diagnose. Anything it can’t handle, it takes a message and flags it to you. Nothing gets lost.

Does it use my existing number?+

Yes. You forward your line to TradieDial — for example when it rings out or after hours — so customers keep calling the number they already know.

What about gas leaks or real danger?+

Sam is trained to recognise gas smells and dangerous situations and immediately directs the caller to the emergency services before anything else.

What if someone’s rude to it, or it’s a prank?+

Sam stays calm and professional. Time-wasters and pranks get one polite redirect and then it ends the call to keep your line free — but it always errs on the side of a real customer, so a genuine caller having a bad day is never cut off.

How much does it cost?+

£219/month + VAT — less than one booked job. Our first 10 founding trades lock in £129/month. No setup fee, no contract, cancel anytime. The calculator above shows what missed calls are already costing you.

How long does setup take?+

Usually live within a day. We configure your greeting, your trade’s emergencies, and your alerts, then point your number at it.

I’m already with an answering service — can I switch?+

Yes. Most trades switch from voicemail or a call-handling service in a day. You keep your number; we just point the calls you’re missing to Sam.

Is my customers’ data safe?+

Yes. Calls are encrypted in transit, data is stored securely in the UK/EU, and we’re built to UK GDPR. Callers are told the call may be recorded, and you can request deletion any time. See our Privacy Policy.

Built by two brothers

TradieDial is built and run by two brothers — Sindri and Birgir. We’re a small family team, not a faceless call centre: when you contact us, you get us. We started TradieDial because we kept watching good local trades lose jobs to missed calls — and knew an AI receptionist could fix it without the cost of hiring.
