Sound familiar?

The calls you miss are the expensive ones.

8.40am Monday

You're mid cylinder swap, both arms in the airing cupboard. The phone rings out in the van. A family with no hot water since last night.

They don't leave a voicemail. By the time you're washed up they've found another plumber, and you never know they rang.

5.55pm Thursday

You're finishing a slow drain-down, phone in the van. A landlady wants a full bathroom refit in a flat between tenants. She's ringing three plumbers tonight and going with whoever picks up.

The average new bathroom runs about £7,000. The plumber who answered is doing the walkthrough on Saturday.

7.40am Monday

The first proper cold morning of autumn. Every boiler that limped through summer has packed up overnight, and your phone starts before you've left the house. You're on the tools by eight, and the calls keep coming.

Every service you can't take today gets booked with somebody else. In January, when that boiler breaks, they ring that plumber instead of you.

Hear how she handles it

A real call, start to finish.

Tuesday, 9.40am. You're under a kitchen floor three streets away, both hands on a fitting you can't let go of.
Sayora

Hi, you've reached Calder Plumbing & Heating. I'm Sayora, the AI receptionist. Dan's on a job just now, but I can help. What's happened?

Caller

Water's coming through my kitchen ceiling. It started maybe twenty minutes ago, right under the bathroom.

Sayora

Let's get it under control first. Do you know where your stopcock is? It's usually under the kitchen sink. Turning it off should stop the worst of it.

Caller

Hang on... right, found it. It's off.

Sayora

Well done. Is the water easing?

Caller

Yeah, it's slowing down. The ceiling's soaked but it's not pouring any more.

Sayora

Good. Dan can get to you today. Can I take your name, the address, and the best number to ring you back on?

Caller

Lorna Beattie, 22 Drummond Street, EH3. It's 07700 900614.

Sayora

Thanks, Lorna. Dan will ring you back within the hour. Leave the stopcock off until he's had a look at it.

Before Lorna hung up, your phone buzzed: name, number, address, ceiling leak, stopcock off, wants you today.

What she can do

Built for the way plumbers actually work.

Always answers, 24/7

Burst pipes don't keep office hours. When the 2am call comes, Sayora picks up, takes the details, and flags the urgency in your text, so you can decide whether it's a tonight job or a first-thing job.

Asks what a plumber would ask

Where's the water coming from, is the stopcock off, how long has the boiler been out. You know what you're walking into before you ring back.

Books jobs into your diary

A caller wants their boiler serviced before winter. Sayora offers the slots you have actually got free, books it mid-call, and texts them a confirmation from your business name.

Screens cold sales

The directory sales calls and the 'we'll get you to page one of Google' pitches get politely shut down before they reach you. Only people with a job for you make it to your phone.

Recognises returning customers

When the landlord with three flats rings about a fourth job, she greets him by name and knows the history. Your regulars get treated like regulars.

Early access

Fair questions

What plumbers ask before they book.

What does Sayora say to someone with a burst pipe at 2am? +

Whatever you'd want said. Tell her once to talk callers through finding the stopcock, and she'll do it on every call before taking the name, number and address. You get a text with the urgency flagged, so you can decide from bed whether it's a tonight job or a first-thing job. She answers every call, all night, every night.

Will customers hang up when they realise she's an AI? +

A few do. But someone with water coming through their kitchen ceiling wants help, not a debate about who's answering. She tells every caller she's an AI first thing, then gets on with sorting the problem. The ones who hang up on her would have hung up on your voicemail too.

Can she tell a real emergency from a dripping tap? +

She asks the questions you'd ask: where's the water, is it contained, how long has it been going on. Then the text on your phone tells you what she learned, and you make the call on whether to drop everything. She captures, you decide.

Can she book boiler services into my calendar? +

Yes. Connect Google Calendar or Cal.com and she offers your real availability mid-call, books the slot, and texts the customer a confirmation from your business name. In service season, that's a diary that fills itself while you're on the tools.

What about Gas Safe questions? +

Tell her once and she tells every caller. Your Gas Safe registration number, what work you take on, what you don't. If a caller asks something she hasn't been given, she says so honestly and takes their details so you can ring back with the answer.

How much does a call answering service for plumbers cost? +

Sayora is £49 a month on early access, with unlimited minutes, no contract, and you can cancel anytime. For scale, the average emergency boiler repair is around £450, so one captured late-night call covers months of Sayora.
