AI receptionist for UK trades & service firms
You're on the job.
We catch the next one.
When you can't pick up, JobCatch answers in your firm's name, takes the customer's name, address and problem, and texts it to you within a minute. The job doesn't go to the next firm on Google.

How a typical call goes
Example written to show the flow, not a real customer call. It never quotes prices or promises a time: you decide that when you ring back.
The problem
Most callers won't leave a voicemail.
They ring the next firm.
You can't answer with your hands full. But the customer with a leak won't wait, and by the time you ring back, someone else has the job.
You're up a ladder
The phone buzzes in your pocket. By the time you're down, they've hung up.
You ring back at 7pm
"Sorry mate, we've already got someone coming." The job's gone, and so is the next one they'd have sent you.
Your evenings disappear
Listening to voicemails, texting people back, working out who wanted what, instead of switching off.
What do missed calls cost you? Your numbers, your estimate.
The fix
JobCatch answers when you can't.
Keep your own number. You answer as normal. Only the calls you miss come to us.
You can't answer
Busy, on a job or after hours, your phone forwards the call to JobCatch. When you're free, you pick up as normal.
It answers in your name
"Good morning, Smith Plumbing & Heating." It says it's your assistant, asks the right questions, and checks the address and postcode.
You get a text in a minute
Name, number, address, the problem and how urgent it is. Emergencies are flagged. You ring back the jobs you want.
What changes
The same missed call, two endings.

Who it's for
Built for trades. Works for any firm that misses calls.
If customers ring you and you can't always pick up, it works the same way. We set the questions to suit your work.
Plumbing & heating
Leaks, no heating, boiler services. Emergencies flagged urgent.

Faults, tripping circuits, EV chargers, rewires. Safety questions asked first.

Quotes, surveys and storm damage. Takes the address so you can plan a visit.

Questions tradespeople ask
Straight answers.
Will my customers know it's not me?
Yes. It answers in your firm's name, says it's an AI assistant and that calls may be recorded. It takes their details so you can ring back the jobs you want.
Can it put the caller through to me?
Not yet. It takes the details and texts you within a minute, with emergencies marked URGENT, so you choose who to ring back and when. If live transfer is something you'd use, tick it in "Want more?" above.
What if a caller asks something it can't answer?
It doesn't guess. It says you'll call back, takes their details and the question, and puts the question in your text.
Does it work with my phone or landline?
Yes, if your phone can forward calls when you're busy or don't answer, which almost every UK mobile and landline can. We set up the forwarding with you. Nothing to install.
I'm not a tradesperson. Will it work for me?
Yes, if customers ring you and you can't always pick up. We set the questions to suit your business. Book a demo and I'll set one up as your firm.
Do I need a new number?
No. You keep your number. Your phone forwards calls to JobCatch only when you're busy, don't answer, or it's after hours. It takes two minutes and we do it with you.
What if it's an emergency?
It asks the right questions (water leaking? no heating? stopcock off?) and marks the text URGENT so it stands out. It never promises an arrival time you haven't agreed.
What if it gets something wrong?
It only takes details and answers the questions you've approved. You get the full summary every time. I review your calls in the first month and fine-tune it.
What does 150 minutes cover?
Most enquiry calls take 1–3 minutes, so roughly 50–100 calls a month. Spam, sales calls and wrong numbers never count towards your minutes. If you regularly go over, we'll talk before anything changes.
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly, and you can cancel any time with a text. The founding price is locked for as long as you stay.
What about my customers' data?
Call details are stored securely and used only to pass enquiries to you. You stay in control of your customers' data, and we sign a data processing agreement with every client. See our privacy notice.
Hear it for yourself. It takes 60 seconds.
Ring the demo, pretend you're a customer, and hear how it handles the call. Not a plumber? Book a demo and I'll set one up that answers as your business.
