Why Plumbers Lose Emergency Calls

In plumbing, the first to answer usually wins.Burst pipes, boiler breakdowns and heating failures can't wait – but your current phone setup is costing you jobs.

🚨

Emergency Timing is Everything

Customer has a burst pipe flooding their kitchen.They call 3 plumbers – the first to answer gets a £350+ job. Your mobile was on silent or you were fixing someone else's pipes.

🔧

Hands Too Dirty to Answer

You're elbow‑deep under a sink, wrestling with corroded pipes.Your mobile rings 4 times while you're trying to get clean enough to answer. Job gone to the next plumber on Google.

🚐

"Just a Mobile" Trust Issues

Customers worry about fly‑by‑night tradesmen.When they see a mobile‑only number, they think "cowboy". A proper landline suggests an established, trustworthy plumbing business.
