Your AI Receptionist. Built for UK Renovation Specialists.

Yes. Full strip-outs removing all existing finishes, services, and non-structural elements to bare shell. Structural alterations — steel beam installation, load-bearing wall removal, underpinning, chimney breast removal, and foundation reinforcement. Loft conversions — dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard, and Velux rooflight. Rear and side extensions. Basement and cellar conversions with tanking systems. Complete mechanical and electrical installations — rewire, replumb, new heating systems. Kitchen and bathroom installations. Plastering, joinery, decoration, and landscaping. The AI captures the property type, age, condition, scope across all work categories, structural survey findings if available, planning permission status, and the homeowner timeline and budget expectations — because renovation quotations range from £500 to £2,000 per square metre depending on specification, heritage requirements, and structural complexity.

Yes. Grade I, Grade II*, and Grade II listed buildings requiring Listed Building Consent for alterations, conservation area properties requiring Conservation Area Consent for external changes, heritage materials — lime plaster, lime mortar, natural stone, handmade bricks, and period-appropriate joinery profiles — and specialist techniques including structural timber frame repair using traditional jointing methods. The AI captures the listing grade, conservation area status, any known restrictions from the conservation officer, and whether the homeowner has engaged a heritage architect. Listed building renovations at £1,500 to £3,000 per square metre command premium pricing and attract clients who value specialist expertise over lowest cost.

Yes. Property developers renovating portfolios of 2 to 50 properties — terraced houses for rental, commercial-to-residential conversions, HMO conversions, and mixed-use developments. The AI captures the property count, individual scope per property, phasing requirements, programme timeline, and whether the developer needs design services or has appointed an architect. Developer renovation programmes at £500,000 to £5,000,000 provide 12 to 36 months of continuous programme-driven revenue that transforms a renovation business from single-project dependency into a scalable operation.

Mid-project takeovers where the previous builder has walked off — leaving the property stripped out, roof exposed, services disconnected, and the homeowner stranded — are captured with the current construction state, work completed, work outstanding, whether the structure is weather-tight, any immediate safety concerns, and the emotional state of the homeowner. Builder walkout takeovers are simultaneously the most urgent and highest-trust renovation leads because the homeowner is desperate, has been let down, and will pay a premium for a reliable replacement who can rescue the project.

Yes. Full design-and-build projects — from initial concept and architectural design through planning permission, Building Regulations approval, construction, and completion — where the renovation specialist manages the entire process including architect coordination, structural engineer appointment, and specialist subcontractor procurement. The AI captures the design vision, planning status, whether architectural services are needed, and the homeowner level of design involvement. Design-and-build contracts at £50,000 to £500,000 represent the highest-value renovation work because the specialist manages every aspect and charges accordingly.

Yes. Federation of Master Builders membership confirming vetted quality standards, Chartered Institute of Building membership for project management competence, TrustMark government-endorsed quality scheme registration, Construction Skills Certification Scheme cards for all operatives, appropriate insurance — employers liability, public liability at £5 million to £10 million, and professional indemnity — and Building Regulations compliance capability. FMB membership is the primary trust marker because it provides deposit protection, insurance-backed guarantees, and independent dispute resolution — the safety net that reassures homeowners investing £50,000 to £500,000 in a renovation project.

Both. A small 2 to 5 person renovation team spends the entire working day on active project sites — managing subcontractors, resolving structural queries with engineers, coordinating material deliveries, and making real-time construction decisions. Renovation project managers are the busiest people in the trades because they coordinate 6 to 10 subcontractors simultaneously. Every missed call is a potential £30,000 to £200,000 project from a homeowner whose post-auction excitement fades within 48 hours if unanswered. At £39/month, one rescued consultation covers the cost for the lifetime of the business. Larger operations with multiple project managers use the AI for developer programme coordination and consistent enquiry handling across concurrent projects.

48 hours. We learn about your services — full renovations, extensions, loft conversions, listed building work, developer programmes — your project management approach, coverage area, and how you want auction-purchase urgency calls, architect referrals, and developer programmes handled. The AI is configured on your existing phone number. You handle zero technical setup.

Renovation work is the most physically immersive trade in the building industry — you and your team strip entire rooms back to bare walls, reroute plumbing and electrics, install new kitchens and bathrooms, and rebuild living spaces from scratch. The noise level alone — angle grinders, demolition hammers, tile cutters, and extraction fans — makes phone calls impossible for hours at a time. Yet renovation enquiries are among the highest-value leads in all of home services: a full kitchen renovation at £10,000 to £30,000, a bathroom refit at £5,000 to £15,000, or a complete house renovation at £50,000 to £150,000. These callers have spent months planning, saving, and researching. They are calling 2 to 3 renovation companies and the first to answer professionally wins the site visit. Speed Receptionist answers every call within seconds, captures the renovation scope — kitchen, bathroom, extension, loft, or whole house — the property type, budget range, and preferred timeline. At £39 per month, one captured kitchen renovation at £15,000 covers the cost for decades. The first to respond wins the project — and with renovation lead values this high, you cannot afford to miss a single one.
