Your AI Receptionist. Built for UK Gutter Cleaners.

Yes. Gutter clearing by hand, gutter vacuum systems like SkyVac and SpaceVac for ground-level extraction, downpipe unblocking and rodding, gutter flushing with water to test flow, bracket repair and replacement, gutter section replacement in uPVC, cast iron, aluminium, and copper, leaf guard and hedgehog guard installation, fascia and soffit cleaning, valley gutter and box gutter maintenance, flat roof gutter clearance, and commercial rainwater goods servicing — the AI captures the specific service type, gutter material, property height, access considerations, and the trigger for the enquiry whether preventative maintenance or active overflow emergency.

Yes. Active overflows causing water cascading down walls, damp penetration into internal rooms, foundation pooling creating subsidence risk, pathway and entrance slip hazards, and water ingress through blocked valley gutters into roof spaces — all captured with the specific overflow location, the duration of the problem, any visible damp damage, the gutter material and approximate length, and the property height and access situation. Storm-triggered overflow calls convert at near 100 percent because the homeowner is watching water damage their property in real time and will book whichever company responds first with availability.

Yes. Property type and number of storeys, gutter material — uPVC, cast iron, aluminium, or copper — approximate gutter run length, tree proximity and overhang situation, current blockage severity, last cleaning date if known, access around the full property perimeter, conservatory or extension affecting access, and any repair requirements beyond clearing. Most gutter cleaners can provide an accurate phone quote for standard residential work from these details alone, eliminating the need for a separate quotation visit and converting enquiries into confirmed bookings faster.

Leaf guards, hedgehog brush guards, micro-mesh gutter filters, and clip-in gutter guards are captured as upsell opportunities with the gutter length, material, tree proximity, and primary debris type — leaves from deciduous trees, pine needles, moss from the roof tiles, or feathers and nesting material from birds. Gutter guard installation adds £3 to £8 per metre to a standard gutter clear and prevents future blockages, making it a valuable add-on that benefits both the customer and your long-term relationship by reducing emergency call frequency while increasing per-job revenue.

Yes. Letting agents needing annual gutter maintenance across rental portfolios, housing associations with scheduled maintenance programmes, property management companies managing commercial and residential blocks, and estate management firms maintaining grounds and buildings — all captured with property count, addresses, building heights, access requirements, and annual scheduling preferences. Portfolio gutter contracts provide predictable autumn and winter revenue worth £2,000 to £20,000 annually and can be planned months in advance for maximum route efficiency.

Yes. Working at height certification, PASMA scaffold tower training, IPAF mobile elevated platform licensing, ladder safety training, public liability insurance at £2 million or £5 million cover, TrustMark registration, and manufacturer-specific training on gutter vacuum systems — all referenced when customers ask about safety and credentials. Working at height is the single most dangerous activity in the UK construction industry and demonstrating certified safety competence differentiates your company from uninsured ladder-only operators who create risk for themselves and the property owner.

Both. A solo gutter cleaner with a van, ladders, and a vacuum system cannot answer the phone while on a roof or up a ladder — and the majority of gutter calls arrive during rain when you are busiest and least able to respond. Every missed call is a £60 to £150 job, and during the autumn peak season, missing 4 to 6 calls per day means losing £300 to £900 daily. At £39/month, two rescued gutter clears cover the cost for a year. Larger gutter companies with crews and cherry pickers use the AI for storm-surge overflow management, portfolio contract capture, and multi-channel commercial enquiries.

48 hours. We learn about your gutter cleaning services, safety certifications, equipment — ladders, scaffolding, gutter vacuum, cherry picker — coverage area, pricing structure, and how you want storm-day emergency overflows prioritised. The AI is configured on your existing phone number. You handle zero technical setup.

Gutter cleaners and installers work at height all day — on ladders, scaffolding, or cherry pickers — making phone calls impractical and dangerous. Demand surges in autumn when leaves block gutters and in winter when overflowing gutters cause water damage. Research shows 78% of customers hire the first business to respond, and 85% of callers never ring back. With gutter cleans worth £80-£200, gutter repairs at £150-£400, and full gutter replacements at £1,000-£3,000, missing the autumn/winter surge of calls means significant lost revenue. A receptionist costs £25,000-£30,000 — disproportionate for a seasonal trade. Speed Receptionist costs £39 per month — £468 a year — and works 24/7. Your AI captures the property type, gutter length, whether it's a clean or repair, and any signs of water damage while you're safely focused on the job up the ladder.

Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've updated your per-property pricing, added gutter guard installation to your services, or changed your seasonal availability, we'll update your AI receptionist within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any gutter cleaner business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your gutter cleaner business.
