Practical AI for roofers
AI for roofers. You can't answer on a roof. They still need a reply.
You're on a ridge with a hammer in your hand. You shouldn't be on the phone, and nobody wants you to be. A missed-call text-back sends the caller a message asking what they need, so you can reply once you're down. I set it up for you.
Nothing is charged until you agree. No jargon, and no obligation.
Why roofers lose jobs to missed calls
After a storm or a leak, people ring round. Roofers get a rush of calls just when everyone's out on the tiles. The ones who text back quickly tend to get the quote.
The text tells them you've seen the call and asks for what you need: what's the problem, and where's the property. Repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs and guttering all start the same way.
What your caller gets
Hi, it's [your company name]. Sorry I missed your call, I'm on a roof at the moment. What do you need help with, and where is the property? I'll get back to you as soon as I'm down.
You can add a line about emergency leaks if that's work you take on. See the full explanation of missed-call text-back.
Other places AI can save a roofer time
- Following up quotes after a survey
- Drafting replies and quote cover notes, which you check before they go
- Asking for reviews once the scaffold's down
- Tidying photos and job notes
Today I set up the missed-call text-back. The rest is where your top 3 can point you, and I'll tell you honestly what's possible.
What it won't do
- It doesn't tell a caller whether you can get there today. You decide that when you reply.
- It can't text callers who withhold their number, or ring from a landline that can't receive texts.
- Diverted calls can use minutes on some mobile plans. Check yours, or ask me to.
- I can't promise a number of extra jobs or customers. It fixes one gap, and that's all.
What it costs
Missed-call text-back is £59 a month plus a £195 one-off setup. Prices are provisional while package terms are confirmed. VAT and terms are confirmed before you buy, and nothing is charged until you agree. An AI receptionist, Aimy, is coming soon but isn't live for customers yet.
Questions roofers ask
What about emergency leaks?
It texts the caller straight away, so they know you've seen the call. It doesn't decide urgency. You read the reply and ring who needs you first.
Does it work on a mobile with poor signal on site?
The diverted call is handled by the number we provide, not your phone. You see the reply when you're back in signal.
Can you promise more roofing jobs?
No. I can't honestly promise a number. It fixes one gap: missed calls.
