Air Landline for Plumbers,

You are elbow-deep in a boiler repair. Your phone vibrates. A homeowner with a burst pipe needs someone NOW. You cannot answer. They call the next plumber on Google. That is a £200 emergency callout you just lost because your hands were busy. An Air Landline captures every job lead, 24/7, while you work.

😤 THE PROBLEM

Why Tradesmen Lose Their Best Jobs

Every tradesman knows the feeling. You are on a job — hands full, power tools running, halfway through a fix — and the phone rings. You cannot answer. The customer does not leave a voicemail. They call the next name on Google, Checkatrade or the recommendation thread. By the time you finish and call back, they have already booked someone else.

The numbers

  • 50%+ of calls to tradesmen come in while you are physically on a job and cannot answer
  • 80% of callers will not leave a voicemail — they call the next tradesman instead
  • Emergency callouts (burst pipes, power failures, broken locks) are worth £150–£300+ and need an instant response. The caller rings 3 numbers — whoever answers first gets the job
  • Evening and weekend calls account for 40% of homeowner enquiries — they come home from work, spot the problem and call
  • Sole traders lose an average of 8–12 job leads per week to missed calls. At £100+ per job, that is £800–£1,200 per week in lost revenue

An Air Landline answers every call in your business name while you work. It captures the job description, postcode, urgency, access details and caller number. Emergency callouts get flagged instantly. You call back from the van with every detail in hand — or the AI books the job into your diary directly.

🔧 EVERY TRADE

Built for Every Trade

Solo traders, partnerships and multi-van firms — if you work with your hands and miss calls because of it, this fixes it.

🔧

Plumbers

Burst pipes, leaking taps, boiler repairs, bathroom installs and heating breakdowns. AI captures the issue, postcode, access details and urgency. Emergency callouts flagged instantly. Routine jobs booked into your diary.

Electricians

Socket faults, rewires, fuseboard upgrades, EV charger installs and emergency power failures. AI asks whether there is a safety risk, captures the property type and number of circuits. Dangerous situations escalated immediately.

🏗️

Builders & General Contractors

Extensions, loft conversions, kitchen refits and structural work. AI captures project scope, approximate size, budget range and timeline. Qualified leads — not tyre-kickers — land in your inbox.

🔥

Gas Engineers & Heating

Boiler breakdowns, annual services, gas safety certificates and central heating installs. AI identifies gas smell emergencies (direct to Gas Emergency 0800 number and flag you). Routine services booked with boiler make and model captured.

🏠

Roofers

Storm damage, missing tiles, flat roof repairs, guttering and full re-roofs. AI captures property type, roof type, access situation and whether it is actively leaking. Urgent storm damage calls flagged for same-day response.

🔑

Locksmiths

Lockouts, lock changes, security upgrades and emergency entry. AI captures property type, lock type, whether the caller is locked out now and their exact location. Emergency lockouts transferred to you live — the fastest response wins the job.

🎨

Painters & Decorators

Interior and exterior painting, wallpapering, plastering and full home refreshes. AI captures number of rooms, property size, type of work (new build, refurb, commercial) and requested timeline. Quote visits booked.

🌿

Gardeners & Landscapers

Lawn care, hedge trimming, patio laying, fencing and full garden redesigns. AI captures garden size, work type, access and budget range. Regular maintenance schedules set up. One-off jobs booked with site visit.

🤖 ON EVERY CALL

What the AI Captures on Every Job Call

Job details & qualification

Every call is captured with caller name, phone number, postcode, full job description, property type, access details and urgency level. The AI asks the questions you would ask: "Is there active water coming in?", "How many sockets need moving?", "Is anyone in the property without heating?" — so you call back already knowing the scope.

Area & postcode check

You set your coverage area during setup — specific postcodes, radius or borough list. The AI asks for the caller's postcode and confirms on the spot whether you cover their area. Out-of-area callers are told politely, saving you a wasted callback. In-area callers are told "Yes, we cover that area" — instant credibility.

Emergency callout handling

You define what counts as an emergency: burst pipe, no heating with children/elderly, electrical fault causing sparking, gas smell, lockout, storm damage with active leak. The AI identifies these through qualifying questions and either transfers the call live to your mobile or sends a priority SMS flagged URGENT. You pick the threshold — everything else gets a standard summary for callback.

Rough pricing & callout fees

You provide your standard rates during setup — callout fee, hourly rate, common job prices. The AI gives callers a guide: "A standard boiler service is typically £75–£90. Our emergency callout fee is £60 plus labour. Shall I book you in?" It never commits to a fixed price without a site visit, but it gives callers enough confidence to commit to a booking rather than calling the next tradesman.

Booking & scheduling

The AI checks your diary and books the caller into an available slot. They receive instant SMS confirmation: "Confirmed: Dave's Plumbing will attend 14 Elm Street, Tuesday 10am–12pm for boiler service. Dave will call 30 minutes before arriving." The booking appears in your calendar with full job details attached.

Photo & video requests

After capturing the job details, the AI sends the caller an SMS: "Thanks for calling. If possible, reply with a photo of the issue — it helps us prepare the right parts." You arrive on site knowing exactly what you are walking into. Right tools, right parts, right quote — on the first visit.

📞 CALL FLOW

How a Job Lead Call Works

From ring to booked job — while you are on another job.

1

Homeowner Calls

You are under a boiler. AI answers: "Good morning, Dave's Plumbing, how can I help?"

2

Job Captured

"My kitchen tap is leaking badly." AI asks: how long, is it constant, postcode, access. All captured.

3

Area Confirmed

"That's SK10 — yes, we cover Macclesfield. Let me check Dave's availability for you."

4

Job Booked

"We can come Thursday between 2–4pm. A leaking tap repair is typically £65–£85. Shall I book that?"

5

Confirmation Sent

Caller gets SMS: "Confirmed: Dave's Plumbing, Thursday 2–4pm, 12 Oak Lane. Dave will call 30 mins before."

6

You Get the Summary

Finish current job, check phone: full lead with name, number, postcode, job details, urgency and booking. Photo request sent to caller.

🚐 THE VAN OFFICE

Your Van Is Your Office. The AI Is Your Receptionist.

Most tradesmen do not have an office, a receptionist or even a desk. Your office is the van. Your diary is your phone. Your admin happens between jobs, on lunch breaks and at 9pm when the kids are in bed.

An Air Landline turns your mobile into a professionally managed business line without changing how you work. Callers ring your business number and hear a professional greeting. The AI handles everything. You get summaries on your phone and check them between jobs, in the van, or whenever suits.

How it fits your day

  • 7:30am — driving to first job. AI has already answered 3 early calls. Two routine bookings confirmed. One emergency flagged for immediate callback
  • 10:00am — mid-job. Phone buzzes with an SMS summary: "Leaking radiator, SK11, wants this week." You will call back at lunch
  • 12:30pm — lunch in the van. Check 4 summaries. Call back the best two leads. Both book. One was about to call someone else
  • 3:00pm — on a roof. Three more leads come in. AI books one directly into Thursday's diary. Other two need quote visits — you will call at 5pm
  • 6:30pm — home. Check the dashboard. 11 leads captured today. 6 already booked. 3 need callbacks tomorrow. 2 were out of area — AI handled the rejection for you

Zero missed calls. Zero voicemails to wade through. Zero "sorry I missed you" callbacks where the customer has already booked someone else.

🚨 EMERGENCY RULES

Emergency vs Routine — You Set the Rules

Not every call is urgent. But when it is, you need to know immediately — not in 2 hours when you finish the current job. The AI lets you define exactly what triggers an emergency escalation.

Example emergency rules for a plumber

  • EMERGENCY — transfer live: burst pipe with active flooding, no hot water with baby/elderly, sewage backup
  • URGENT — priority SMS: slow leak getting worse, no heating (but not vulnerable), blocked drain
  • ROUTINE — standard summary: dripping tap, new bathroom quote, boiler service, radiator bleed

Example emergency rules for an electrician

  • EMERGENCY — transfer live: sparking socket, burning smell, total power loss, exposed wiring
  • URGENT — priority SMS: partial power loss, tripping fuseboard, no power to specific room
  • ROUTINE — standard summary: extra sockets, rewire quote, EV charger install, EICR booking

You define the rules. The AI follows them consistently on every single call — no human judgement errors, no receptionist guessing whether a "funny smell from the boiler" is a gas leak or a dusty heat exchanger. The AI asks the right questions and routes accordingly.
